U-19 World Cup 2022: Bishop and Wickham tons secure 11th place for West Indies;
U-19 World Cup 2022: Teddy Bishop and Kevin Wickham each struck centuries as West Indies powered to an impressive eight-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the 11th-place play-off.
The hosts have had a mixed tournament, but came out determined to finish strongly, with Johann Layne quickly reducing Zimbabwe to 25/2.
Steven Saul and Brian Bennett steadied the ship and when Saul fell for 34, Bennett joined forces with twin brother David to put together an excellent fourth-wicket stand.
The Bennett brothers both passed half-centuries and their partnership reached 102 when Brian was caught behind for 62, leaving David to continue the charge alongside Connor Mitchell.
D. Bennett finished unbeaten on 77 and Mitchell plundered a 26-ball 42 not out as Zimbabwe put together a competitive score of 256/4.
But Bishop and Wickham made a potentially tricky chase look extremely simple after opener and captain Matthew Nandu had fallen early.
