Motie takes record haul as Windies rout Zimbabwe

West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie has bowled his side to victory and a 1-0 series win against Zimbabwe, as they won the second Test by an innings and four runs at Queens Sports Club.

Motie took 13 wickets in the match as the West Indies made sure of the win inside three days on Tuesday, after drawing last week's first Test, also played in Bulawayo.

It was the best Test match performance by a spinner for the West Indies as Motie – playing only his third Test – took 13-99 in the match, surpassing a mark that had stood for seven decades.

The left-arm spinner took 7-37 as Zimbabwe, who won the toss and elected to bat, were skittled out for 115 in their first innings.

The West Indies replied with 292, adding two runs to their overnight score as they lost their last two wickets when play got underway belatedly on Tuesday because of a rain delay. Roston Chase top-scored with 70.

Motie returned to torment the home side and finished with figures of 6-62 as Zimbabwe were bowled out for 173 in their second innings, four runs short of forcing West Indies to bat again.

Only captain Craig Ervine, who scored 72, offered any resistance but when he was trapped lbw at the start of the last session, the Test was effectively over.

Motie's 13-wicket haul bettered the previous best Test match return by a West Indian spinner of 11-152 from Sonny Ramadhin against England when they won at Lord's for the first time in 1950.

"I was very happy about it," said Motie, who was named man of the series.

"I worked hard enough. I had a lot of practice and back in my country, the wickets are similar," added the 27-year-old from Guyana.

West Indies now head to South Africa for a two-Test series, plus limited overs internationals.
