Legspinner Devendra Bishoo finished with nine wickets in the match as the West Indies swept to a 117-run victory over Zimbabwe in the first Test on Tuesday.
Bishoo followed up his 5/79 in the first innings with figures of 4/105 in the second as Zimbabwe were bowled out for 316 on the fourth day at Queens Sports Club.
Although Hamilton Masakadza and Brendan Taylor struck half-centuries as Zimbabwe put up a better fight with the bat in their second innings, they were derailed by some clever bowling from Bishoo and a couple of calamitous run-outs, ensuring they were always unlikely to pull off a world-record chase of 434. The second and final Test gets underway at the same venue on Sunday.
