World Cup group D, Jamaica: West Indies v Zimbabwe
Match starts 1430 GMT Monday
Watch highlights of the match on BBC ONE tonight - 2305 GMT
The West Indies can confirm their place in the next stage of the World Cup by beating Zimbabwe at Sabina Park. 
Having already beaten Pakistan, they know a second victory in group D will cement their passage to the Super 8s.
But Shivnarine Chanderpaul said the team was taking nothing for granted, after minnows Ireland stunned Pakistan.
"Everyone is trying to make a name for themselves so we cannot underestimate anyone," the batsman said. "We have to play it hard and take it to the end."
The veteran left-hander added: "We've been doing a lot of work, we're well prepared. We don't know what is going to happen but hopefully we can go out and get the win."
Zimbabwe are not out of the equation after tying their first match with Ireland. They have one point, West Indies have two and Ireland lead the group with three.
But the youthful southern African nation will have to defy history if they are to beat West Indies - they have never beaten them in four previous World Cup encounters.
And after stumbling to a tie against Ireland when victory looked on the cards, the Zimbabwe team could be reshuffled.
