West Indies dominate

West Indies are on course to clinch their series against Zimbabwe after bowling out the tourists for 141 in the fourth one-day international at St Vincent.

All-rounder Dwayne Bravo returned figures of 4-21 from nine overs while Ravi Rampaul chipped in with 2-21.

West Indies lead the five-match series 2-1 and were immediately in control as they quickly reduced Zimbabwe to 62 for six before Elton Chigumbura ensured the tourists at least passed triple figures with a battling 42.

It was not enough, however, to register a competitive score on a pace-friendly wicket looks well within West Indies reach against a spin-led Zimbabwe attack.

Rampaul got the ball rolling when Hamilton Masakadza edged a rearing delivery to Denesh Ramdin to depart for a duck.

Bravo then had Timycen Maruma (11) caught at gully and Brendan Taylor (one) followed soon after when he played around a Rampaul inswinger.

Things got worse for Zimbabwe when Vusi Sibanda (11) was run out after Tatenda Taibu did not respond to his call for a quick single and Keiron Pollard had only to run across to the stumps and remove the bails.

Bravo then accounted for Taibu (14) and Stuart Matsikenyeri (one) to leave Zimbabwe 62 for six after 19 overs.

Chigumbura saved some face with his battling knock and combined in an innings-best 41-run stand for the eighth wicket with Graeme Cremer (15).

They advanced the score to 129 for seven before Chigumbura, who hit three sixes, was caught by Shivnarine Chanderpaul off Daren Sammy for 42 from 78 balls.

Roach returned to claim the final wicket, bowling Ray Price (five) to dismiss Zimbabwe for 141 from 48.2 overs.
