Windies in super eight

CRICKET: World Cup hosts West Indies qualified for the Super Eight stage of the competition after a six-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in Group D on Monday.

Sean Williams struck an unbeaten 70 as Zimbabwe recovered from 59 for four to make a total of 202 for five but Brian Lara's side had little real trouble as they reached the target with 13 balls to spare.

Opener Chris Gayle hit an explosive 40 including three consecutive sixes in one over and then the Trinidadian pair of skipper Lara (44) and Dwayne Bravo (37) saw West Indies through to victory although both were dropped along the way.

"That was a scrappy win but I am glad that we fought it out. It was the kind of track where it was going to take time for people to get in and we did pretty well at that," said West Indies' coach Bennett King. West Indies, who won their opening game against Pakistan, have four points with their final group opponents Ireland on three points.

Zimbabwe have a single point after a tie with the Irish and Pakistan have none and are eliminated.
