Auckland: Lifted by a brilliant Brendan Taylor century, Zimbabwe posted 287 all out in their final World Cup Pool B game against defending champions India in Auckland on Saturday.
Taylor, who is playing in his final international before taking up an English county contract, smashed five sixes and 15 boundaries during his 110-ball 138 after India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and put Zimbabwe into bat on a grassless Eden Park pitch.
Sean Williams made 50 while pacemen Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Shami took three wickets apiece.
India have already qualified for the quarter-finals — where they will face Bangladesh — with five wins in five games while Zimbabwe are out of the tournament with only one win. (AFP)
