West Indies prepare to face X-factor Chevron

Cape Times

|

February 23, 2026

WEST Indies coach Daren Sammy said yesterday his side had plans to counter Zimbabwe’ giant quick bowler Blessing Muzarabani, while admitting the 2.03m beanpole had the “X-factor”.

The West Indies will open their Super 8 campaign at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium today against tournament surprise packages Zimbabwe, who topped a group including Sri Lanka and Australia. Muzarabani was one of the revelations of the group phase, taking nine wickets, including figures of 4/17 in the upset of Australia.

“We plan for every single player. Not only him. He’s an X-factor” Sammy said yesterday.
