West Indies win toss and put Zimbabwe in

KINGSTON, Jamaica, March 19 (Reuters) West Indies captain Brian Lara won the toss and elected to field in the World Cup Group D match against Zimbabwe at Sabina Park today.

West Indies kept with the same 11 that beat Pakistan in their opening game meaning there was no place in the side for left-armer Ian Bradshaw with Corey Collymore again given the nod as the third seamer.

Zimbabwe made three changes from the team which tied with Ireland in their first match with opening bat Terry Duffin and medium pacers Gary Brent and Ed Rainsford left out.

Left-hander Friday Kasteni takes Duffin's spot in the batting line-up with seamers Tawanda Mupariwa and Anthony Ireland given a chance with the ball.

Teams: West Indies: Brian Lara (captain), Chris Gayle, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Marlon Samuels, Denesh Ramdin (wicketkeeper), Dwayne Smith, Dwayne Bravo, Daren Powell, Jerome Taylor, Corey Collymore.
