West Indies captain Brian Lara won the toss and elected to field in the World Cup Group D match against Zimbabwe at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Monday.

West Indies made no changesĀ in the teamĀ 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.
