Summary Zimbabwe bowled out Canada for 123 on Monday to comfortably win their World Cup Group A match by 175 runs at Nagpur.

With his side defending a healthy 298-9, Zimbabwe spinner Ray Price opened the bowling and took three wickets in the first six overs to reduce the ICC Associate nation to 7-3.That was too weak a position even on a good wicket at Nagpurs VCA Stadium and Zimbabwe secured victory with 7.5 overs remaining.
