After a good batting performance by Kieran Powell (77) and Kyle Hope (61) completed half-centuries in West Indies' second innings as the visitors had a useful outing in their tour match against Zimbabwe 'A'. After a 126-run second-wicket partnership, West Indies' middle order uneven up useful contributions before allowing their bowlers to have a go at the Zimbabwe 'A' batsmen. In 27 overs bowled by West Indies in the closing stages of the match, they managed to snuff out four top-order wickets before the game ended in a draw.

Powell and Hope began the final day on an overnight score of 74 for 1 and both brought up their respective fifties soon after. The Zimbabwe ‘A’ bowlers failed to dismiss either set batsmen, or both of them chose to retire out instead. That allowed the West Indies middle order to have another bat, and Jermaine Blackwood (25), Shane Dowrich (37) and Shimron Hetmyer (48) took their total to 263 before they chose to declare. Shannon Gabriel then quickly removed the hosts' opener Brian Chari, before a brief resistance between Chamu Chibhabha (24) and Tarisai Musakanda followed. But Raymon Riefer then removed Musakanda, after which Chibhabha and Ryan Burl returned to the pavilion as well in quick succession. The game ended with Peter Moor (10*) and Richmond Mutumbami (1*) at the crease. And match end to a draw.
