Harare, Oct. 5 -- Eboni Brathwaite etched her name into the record books as she smashed the fastest fifty by a West Indian in women's T20I cricket to power her team to an eight-wicket victory over Zimbabwe here.
The victory gave West Indies an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series thanks largely to Eboni whose swashbuckling knock of 57 off 23 deliveries completely flattened Zimbabwe's hopesof defending a modest total of 106.
