ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada — Johnson Charles and Darren Bravo struck stylish centuries as West Indies easily beat Zimbabwe by 156 runs in the opening game of their one day series in Grenada Friday. The Caribbean side made 337 for four from its 50 overs and Zimbabwe limped to 181 for nine after a poor start. Charles' 130, which follows his maiden century in Melbourne earlier this month, came off 111 balls and featured 12 boundaries and four sixes as the opener made the most of a modest Zimbabwean attack. Charles and fellow opener Kieran Powell put on 168 for the first wicket as West Indies sent out a firm message at the start of a tour which features two more one-day games, two Twenty20 fixtures and a pair of Test matches. Zimbabwe finally removed Powell for 79 when he was caught by Craig Ervine in the deep off a short delivery from Chris Mpofu. Bravo blasted Kyle Jarvis over midwicket for six on the penultimate ball of the over and then a single off the last ball secured his first One-Day International century. Chasing a victory target of 338 was always going to be a tough task for Zimbabwe and its response never got going after a poor start with four wickets falling for just 34 runs. — Reuters\
