Windies clinch series in Zimbabwe

Fourth one-day international, Harare: West Indies (234-5) beat Zimbabwe (232-9) by 5 wickets
A record opening stand of 167 was not enough for Zimbabwe as Ruanko Morten helped the West Indies to a five-wicket win and a series-clinching 3-1 lead.

Zimbabwe got off to the best of starts thanks to openers Vusi Sibanda (96) and Hamilton Masakadza (80).

However, Jerome Taylor (5-48) tore through the middle order to restrict the hosts to a below-par 232-9.

Morten (79) and Marlon Samuels (61) then put 105 before Dwayne Bravo saw the Windies home with 18 balls left.
