Zimbabwe is keen to win over Canada after the first match defeat against Australia. Canada and Zimbabwe two minnows will take on each other in Group A match at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur at 4.00 GMT and 9.30 IST on 28 February, 2011.

Both Zimbabwe and Canada have lost their opening matches in the ICC World Cup 2011.

Zimbabwe won the toss and decided to bat first. Zimbabwe has lost their openers Brendan Taylor (0) and Charles Coventry (4) early in the innings. The most reliable batsmen of Zimbabwe, Brendan Taylor trapped as leg before in the bowling of Khurram Chohan. Tatenda Taibu and Craig Ervine resistance have stopped the fall of wickets.

Zimbabwe batting, Tatenda Taibu (74) and Craig Ervine (43) are on the crease.

Canada after putting in to field by Zimbabwe, they have bowled superbly to pick up the wickets of both the openers. All the Canadian bowlers were bowling with great discipline and early strikes push back the scoring rate. Jimmy Hansra is the expensive bowler so far, as he was taken for some runs by Taibu.

Canadian bowling, Harvir Baidwan and Khurram Chohan have shared a wicket each.

Zimbabwe Team: Brendan Taylor, Charles Coventry, Tatenda Taibu (wk), Craig Ervine, Elton Chigumbura (c), Sean Williams, Gregory Lamb, Prosper Utseya, Graeme Cremer, Ray Price, Chris Mpofu.

Canda Team: Nitish Kumar, John Davison, Ruvindu Gunasekera, Ashish Bagai (c) (wk), Jimmy Hansra, Zubin Surkari, Tyson Gordon, Rizwan Cheema, Khurram Chohan, Harvir Baidwan, Balaji Rao.
