Zimbabwe bowl against Ireland
Taylor was leading Zimbabwe after regular skipper Elton Chigumbura was ruled out of this match.
HOBART (AFP) - Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor won the toss and elected to field against Ireland in their World Cup Pool B match at Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Saturday.
Defeat for Zimbabwe would mean they were unable to qualify for the quarter-finals as it would leave them with two points, with only one group match left to play.
Ireland, a non-Test nation, currently have four points from three matches and will still have a shot of qualifying for the last eight regardless of Saturday s result.
Taylor was leading Zimbabwe after regular skipper Elton Chigumbura was ruled out of this match with a thigh injury.
