India (256/4) overpower Zimbabwe (184/6) by 72 runs to keep their Semi-final hopes alive in T20 World Cup 2026

[CricVet]

Underdog must never choose to bat 2nd unless on a greenish pitch with overcast conditions or a dry surface with dew expected later. This was a patta - big mistake by Reza; twice back to back.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Anything could happen. WI’s batting depth is very good.

They are minnow bashers these days just like Farhan. Apart from the one England one, they have done nothing of note vs big sides.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Match fixing at his best. Winning toss and offer batting??? Then giving full tosses for 6. Just to make sure they can't win and nrn will be huge for India.

Also yesterday match was clearly fix.sri lankan were not playing but laughing.
To make sure one team out of semi race

Welcome to the club.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Zimshek and ZimPandya and ZimIndia at their best. They will probably beat WI who are a useless team against good sides much like Farhan is crap against Sena+India. However, SF will be end of the road for India. No chance they will beat Brook or NZ.

On home grounds? But yeah 2023 final was also at home ground. But they have great chance to lift the trophy.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Dont know about others, surely duas are not coming from pakistan

Our cousins have big hearts, although small feet.

 

[pillionrider]

I will give 55:45 to WI

Dunno the stats and maybe it's the bias of the WC SF memory, but West Indians seem like a different beast vs India in World Cups.

 

[jnaveen1980]

South Africa's achillese heel is pitch where ball turns. Varun C consistently owned them. One match he went missing they beat India. So i hope we get a red soil pitch where iNdia's batting is way better and spiners are also way better

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dunno the stats and maybe it's the bias of the WC SF memory, but West Indians seem like a different beast vs India in World Cups.

This WI is a form team due to participation in SA20.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

On home grounds? But yeah 2023 final was also at home ground. But they have great chance to lift the trophy.

In T20 home grounds are not a big deal and Ind batsmen are worse than opposition against good spin. Zimshek Zimson ZimPandya are all no hopers vs good spin. Talak is the only decent guy but tuk tuk and Surya is a joker tulla.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We lost kungfu Pandya for the final. It upset our balance. Imapcted the depth

 

[shah9425]

Only NZ can break that record. Just need one lucky day for them.

Hopefully it stands

@Katwalindian, he is calling Farhan a minnow basher. Over to you.

More like Pakshek, pakson, pakpandya lol Abhishek hast atleast lost a match to zimbabwe. Not to pakistan.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Didn't Zimshek bilateral bully get roasted vs Pak for 0?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Asia cup ahem lol Finished career of Abrar

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have been downright pathetic in the Super 8 stage.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Didn't Zimshek bilateral bully get roasted vs Pak for 0?

He already thrashed your premium bowlers in Asia Cup and won back-to-back matches , didn’t he?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Didn't Zimshek bilateral bully get roasted vs Pak for 0?

ZimBabar made 5(6)

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

ZimBabar made 5(6)

Babar also kicked you out of 2021 WC. When ZimSharma performs vs Pak in ICC tournaments we can talk.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Asia cup ahem lol Finished career of Abrar

lol Inds doing bhangra over Asia Cup. No wonder SA roasted you pathetically in your own stadium.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

When Zimbabar wins a t20 wc you can talk then.

Pakdube, pak varma somebody will whope you lol We don't need one guy.

WHen did SA become pakistan. SA is a top sidel Pakistan is a crap side. Don't compare yourself with SA

 

[Katwalindian]

I Dont give a single ****.....I was just talking about facts and they got angry and abused me.... dirty indians.....let them talk as they want.....

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Anything could happen. WI’s batting depth is very good.

and India's not?

 

[Bhaijaan]

More like bad dua

It’s always been in good faith

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have been downright pathetic in the Super 8 stage.

Sri Lanka look good on paper, but surprisingly, they have performed pretty badly. Injuries are also one of the reasons why their bowling unit is toothless , they have lost Hasaranga and Pathirana.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Dunno the stats and maybe it's the bias of the WC SF memory, but West Indians seem like a different beast vs India in World Cups.

2-1 to WI in T20 World Cups I think

 

[Mas-LFC]

raza two blunder! Bowling first and batting last against much superior batting line up. Daft.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have been downright pathetic in the Super 8 stage.

Shows that Australia were even more pathetic. They couldn't get out of a group with these 2 teams , Ireland and Oman

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Dude, @RizwanT20Champ is not an Indian and this is the different context

 

[PakFan2010]

Why don't India have an anchor like Babar?

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Dude, @RizwanT20Champ is not an Indian and this is the different context

Don't involve me in your nonsense.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Why don't India have an anchor like Babar?

India would have loved to have Babar in match vs SA when they got their clock cleaned.

 

[Devadwal]

Saim like six on a top edge

 

[jnaveen1980]

India would have loved to have Babar in match vs SA when they got their clock cleaned.

Sipamala is not bowling lol

 

[Hikaru]

Hardik the bowler is so underrated.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Why don't India have an anchor like Babar?

We never had a proper anchor who plays run-a-ball like Babar or Rizwan.
Our anchors always shift into 4th gear when required. Currently, Tilak has been given that anchor role post Kohli.

 

[JaDed]

Zim looked like Aus on Lankan pitches… their India leg has been not that great in bowling.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Sipamala is not bowling lol

Babar has smashed Steyn in tests. I know you hate him and he is in bad form but be objective.

 

[jnaveen1980]

We never had a proper anchor who plays run-a-ball.

It only while chasing we make a mess. While batting first we manage to do better. ngidi was bowling almost all his balls at 105 kph. It was hard to get away

 

[Hellion]

India would have loved to have Babar in match vs SA when they got their clock cleaned.

Farhan, Babar and co are lucky not to face Muzarabani , Ngarava . None of the Pak batsmen can play this ZIM attack.

 

[JaDed]

Why don't India have an anchor like Babar?

Tilak is our semi- anchor but he played a fast inning today compared to his usual.

 

[Hikaru]

India would have loved to have Babar in match vs SA when they got their clock cleaned.

Can you stop making the thread about King Bobz bro?

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Tilak is our semi- anchor but he played a fast inning today

Against Zimbabwe lol.

 

[Human786]

Under 150 or not boyz ?
11/0

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Can you stop making the thread about King Bobz bro?

Your fellow Inds started their nonsense. hopefully WI can clean your clock on Sunday and send you jokers back home.

 

[JaDed]

Against Zimbabwe lol.

Yeah .. never seen Babar or Rizwan have that SR against Zim.. scoring above 40.. (275 SR)..

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Yeah .. never seen Babar or Rizwan have that SR against Zim.. scoring above 40.. (275 SR)..

152-0

 

[Sachin fan]

Against Zimbabwe lol.

When did Rizbar score so fast against Zimbabwe?

 

[Sachin fan]

152-0

What a poor comeback. We all know Rizbar chasing limit is around 150. But modern scores are not so low.

 

[jnaveen1980]

152-0

That 152/0 has done irrepairable damage to Pakistan T20 cricket lol I am sure lot of pak fans would agree with that

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

What a poor comeback. We all know Rizbar chasing limit is around 150. But modern scores are not so low.

Thread is not about Babar or Rizwan clown. I really hope WI smash your arrogant team and fanbase on Sunday. Jokers.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pathetic biased commentary from DK. Called the Nz vs Eng game the decider for no. 1 and 2 position in that group and effectively called Sri Lanka v Pakistan game a dead rubber. Also called Zim v Sa game a sure shot for Sa. ICC Needs to take action!

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

That 152/0 has done irrepairable damage to Pakistan T20 cricket lol I am sure lot of pak fans would agree with that

You will never beat us by 10 wickets in an ICC event and a WC. A great feeling. Enjoy your win vs Zimbabwe. Stay back after you get kicked out by WI or NZ/Eng or SA in front of home crowd.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So you are at the mercy of WI or NZ lol We already have a cup. We don't need to win everything haha. We are okay with that.

 

[rpant_gabba]

152-0

I sincerely hope PCB recognizes the greatness of RizBar and puts in a prominent role. They have decade of cricket left.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good batting from India under pressure.

If Zimbabwe get to 150 i'll be surprised.

 

[Human786]

ZIM - no damage done ... not even Marumani .
25/0

 

[Hellion]

Thread is not about Babar or Rizwan clown. I really hope WI smash your arrogant team and fanbase on Sunday. Jokers.

A pity Babar couldn't.

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

So you are at the mercy of WI or NZ lol We already have a cup. We don't need to win everything haha. We are okay with that.

We also have the T20 WC. Remember 2009 when Lala silenced Lords and all the Ind fans their cheering for Dilshan lol

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bumrah toyed with!

 

[Pakistan150-0]

A big cheque for Zimbabwe team....
Otherwise who would have liked to bat 2nd in this pitch after winning toss

 

[Cover Drive Six]

You will never beat us by 10 wickets in an ICC event and a WC. A great feeling. Enjoy your win vs Zimbabwe. Stay back after you get kicked out by WI or NZ/Eng or SA in front of home crowd.

Congrats, bro. That’s really a greater achievement than winning the tournament.
Hope you already have a “152-0” tattoo on your face dedicated to your favorite player Rizwan, aka T20 Champ.

 

[saabir]

Zimbabwe is the punching bag in this group. On srilankan pitches they were competitive and manage to win matches against Australia and SL. But looks like they are totally misfit in super 8

 

[batandballbattle]

Bumrah toyed with!

bennet is a great find for zim

 

[jnaveen1980]

We also have the T20 WC. Remember 2009 when Lala silenced Lords and all the Ind fans their cheering for Dilshan lol

Ya.. different decade hahaha

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bumrah pumped down the ground! After Farhan hit him he has not been the same.

 

[globetrotter]

Also yesterday match was clearly fix.sri lankan were not playing but laughing.

From yesterday's match " Srilanka" becomes "new zimbabwe" for Pakistan.... after this WC, PCB will try to arrange more bilaterals with Srilanka

 

[RidiculousMan]

Football from Bennett.

 

[JaDed]

Bumrah pumped down the ground! After Farhan hit him he has not been the same.

He literally performed well last game.. Also i heard same when Fakhar smashed him 2017..

 

[RexRex]

Great footy skills from Bennett.

 

[Human786]

ZIM - no damage done ... not even Marumani .
25/0

Bumrah ko bhi peet diya 33/0

 

[RidiculousMan]

He literally performed well last game..

Even Shaheen performed in the last game. What's your point?

 

[AAli98]

Bumra trying to bowl with a straight arm in a dead game hence getting spanked.

Back to chucking against Windies

 

[RidiculousMan]

Varun Chakravarthy welcomed with a SIX!

 

[Devadwal]

Zimbabwe is showing more intent than Pakistan team against India .

 

[JaDed]

Even Shaheen performed in the last game. What's your point?

Do you want to compare their performances? He performed well against PCT too..

 

[RidiculousMan]

Dropped by Rinku!

 

[Human786]
