West Indies slump to loss

WEST Indies' poor form continued as they slipped to a two-run defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe in the first one-day international in Guyana. Vusi Sibanda fell just short of a century as Zimbabwe compiled a testing 254 for five having won the Twenty20 International between the sides on Sunday.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul did his best to pull off a rescue act with 70 which took West Indies close after they fell behind the rate, but it was not enough.
