West Indies beat Zimbabwe in the second Test in Bulawayo on Tuesday to win the two-match series 1-0 as Gudakesh Motie took 13 wickets in the match.
Zimbabwe slipped to 173 all out in their second innings as Motie followed his seven for 37 in the first innings with six for 62. Captain Craig Ervine provided the only sustained resistance, making 72 before falling leg-before to Motie.
A West Indies innings that spanned three days, partly due to rain delays, ended on Tuesday when the Chevrons lost their final two wickets for two runs, bowled out for 292, a lead of 177.
Batting a second time, Zimbabwe were two wickets down with only 15 on the board as Tanunurwa Makoni and Chamu Chibhabha made just one run each.
Opener Innocent Kaia made 43 and Ervine battled hard but left-arm spinner Motie had the final say as he worked his way through the order to finish with 13 for 99 in the match.
The Chevrons return to white-ball cricket during March, hosting the Netherlands in a three-match ODI series.
