Zimbabwe Bat, Permaul in for Russell

St. George's: Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor won the toss for the third consecutive time and again chose to bat first against the West Indies in the third one-day international in Grenada on Tuesday.

Seeking a 3-0 sweep of the series, West Indies made one change for the match at the National Cricket Stadium, with left-arm orthodox spinner Veerasammy Permaul replacing all-rounder Andre Russell.

Zimbabwe were forced to go into the match without their topscorer from the 2nd ODI, Craig Ervine, who has the flu, while spinner Prosper Utseya and medium-pacer Tendai Chatara were also omitted.

Their places have been taken by batsman Tino Mawoyo, slow bowler Tinotenda Mutombodzi and seamer Chris Mpofu.

Teams

West Indies: Dwayne Bravo (capt), Kieran Powell, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Darren Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Narsingh Deonarine, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Veerasammy Permaul, Sunil Narine, Kemar Roach, Tino Best.

Zimbabwe: Brendan Taylor (capt & wk), Vusi Sibanda, Justice Chibhabha, Tino Mawoyo, Hamilton Masakadza, Malcolm Waller, Regis Chakabva, Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Kyle Jarvis, Natsai M'Shangwe, Chris Mpofu.
