West Indies completed a 76-run win over Zimbabwe in the final T20I in Harare on Tuesday. Carlos Brathwaite scored an unbeaten fifty and Keon Claxton took three wickets as the visitors defended a total of 182.
The result gave West Indies the three-match series 2-1. Zimbabwe were bowled out for 106 in 18.3 overs after West Indies had posted 182 for six in their 20 overs.
Brathwaite finished on 51 not out from 32 balls. Claxton returned figures of three for 21 to finish the innings. West Indies had lost the opening match of the series before winning the second to keep the contest alive.

The 2-1 scoreline hides the fact that West Indies lost the opener by eight wickets and still needed to win two on the bounce. That recovery matters more for their India tour than the final margin.
