Canada strike early, Taylor departs
Nagpur: The Zimbabwe opening batsman Brendan Taylor was trapped leg before wicket for a golden duck by Khurram Chohan. The review by Taylor was to no avail as replays suggested the same.
Earlier, Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura won the toss and elected to bat first in a World Cup Group A clash against Canada at Nagpur on Monday.
Both teams will be desperate for a win after losing their opening fixtures to more fancied opponents.
While Canada received a sound thrashing at the hands of Sri Lanka by 210 runs at Hambantota, Zimbabwe went down by 91 runs in their match against four times World Champions Australia at Ahmedabad.
Teams:
Zimbabwe: BRM Taylor, CK Coventry, T Taibu, CR Ervine, E Chigumbura (capt), SC Williams, GA Lamb, P Utseya, AG Cremer, RW Price, CB Mpofu
Canada: NR Kumar, JM Davison, R Gunasekera, A Bagai (capt), AS Hansra, ZE Surkari, TG Gordon, Rizwan Cheema, Khurram Chohan, HS Baidwan, WD Balaji Rao
