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

[jnaveen1980]

Knockouts is different than bilaterals

SA is masters in knockouts? lol

 

[Sachin fan]

Interesting then. So it has been a double whammy for Bumrah. Double thrashing!

Going at 7 an over when teams score nearly 250 is not smashing for anyone with more than one brian cell

You guys literally consider Bumrah the goat if you believe going at 7 an over is thrashing for him. You hold him at way high standards.

 

[Katwalindian]

SA look like motivated

They have this weird complex now. Their team has become like bangladesh team now bowling mostly spinners as there are no worthy pacers. So they are jealous of any team that has pacers.

 

[Human786]

Make no mistake , IND did Zim innings runs fixing ... very obvious !

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA look like motivated

They almost dropped a game against Afghanistan in a must win game lol

 

[Sachin fan]

DK, Ruturajlol keep adding. There are many players that have good record against him. But overall his record is still the best. He won the world cup, won man of the series. You can savor the one ball moment 2 ball moment. For the record Bumrah holds the test batting record for most runs in one over that came against Broad lol

You can tell how high standards they hold bumrah when they use terms like "smashing", "taking down" for a bowler going at 7 per over when a team scored nearly 240.

Bowlers have gone for nearly 50 or over this tournament but someone going at 7 per over is somehow taken down.

You can tell subconsciously they consider Bumrah the goat.

 

[Suleiman]

Easy to win when every tournament is in your backyard these days. Tired of these same Indian venues.

Pakistan has this weird obsession with this 1 ball moment since the 80s lol As the teams got professional these one ball moment disappeared. They are still stuck in that era. Not even Namebia player will release a movie because he hits a four against Bumrah or take the wicket of Kohli

Wait and watch they will win trophy this time...

Pakistan played at dubai plus other easy match wash out........ thus mfers rain is big throne in Pakistan way .....look at this tournament easy match against NZ wash out.....at least if Pakistan play there is chance to win....rain knocked out Pakistan..... what the use of giving 1 point?

 

[Smbhayi]

Put that up in your ass

Pakistan don't have 50m easy flat highways like India........ that match was on 90m karachi stadium....

Lol why are you guys making it a twitter board? It’s just a game

 

[shamaan786]

Not a bad batting performance from Zimbabwe.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan don't have 50m easy flat highways like India........ that match was on 90m karachi stadium....

you only have 30 meter boundary lol

 

[Katwalindian]

you only have 30 meter boundary lol

Karachi is 90 meters...I don't think you watch match there

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Karachi is 90 meters...I don't think you watch match there

It's 79m or something. It's not 90

 

[Katwalindian]

It's 79m or something. It's not 90

In test match its 90..... gaddafi stadium in lahore also

 

[Nikhil_cric]

In test match its 90..... gaddafi stadium in lahore also

AFAIK, there are only a couple of venues in the world where it's 90m straight - Adelaide Oval being and one of the Saffer venues from memory.

Any evidence for NSK having such a long straight boundary .

In the Champions Trophy, it was 79.

 

[deltexas]

You should thank your stars that likes travis head and tim david didn't qualify for India otherwise you all would have been crying right now......soo instead of focusing on Pakistan....enjoy your victory and most importantly zip up jabroni .........Good night

Thats the problem with you folks, cling to old stuff and just cant move on. Still cling to 92 & 07. 23 ODI WC, 24 T20 WC are all history and past.. The present doesnt have to anything with them. But no worries, cling to your past wins and enjoy that barrel hole !

When you dont have something that you crave, you get negative , bitter and come up with ridiculous B/S to rationalize it. Simple as that . In this era and age of T20s , someone with an economy rate that opens and bowls at the death of below 7 like Bumrah is simple ridiculous. He single handedly won Ind the 24 T20 final which was a lost cause and he pulled a rabbit out of the hat when Klaasen was going beserk..

 

[deltexas]

Yes just like how Pakistan win the champion trophy at home

Pak got eliminated from their home tournament , one of the first teams to do so.. Some of these folks cant appreciate good cricket , good teams. Are always bitter and negative.

[jnaveen1980]

Karachi is 90 meters...I don't think you watch match there

Even Ahmedabad has, chennai has. Actual rope is around 70 meter unlike PSL where the rope is about 40 meter lol

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Took a selfless single off the first ball in the final over, otherwise he was going to get it against halwa bowler Dube

Great knock nonetheless. Might get him an IPL deal if someone pulls out or gets injured.

 

[jnaveen1980]

In test match its 90..... gaddafi stadium in lahore also

Nonsense lol Not even MCG has 90 meter. their side boundary is about 86 meter

 

[Bhaijaan]

Maybe some day.
He’s young and bats with great clarity

[BDfanforever]

Chasing is such as minnow mentality. ZIM thinking they can chase 250+ runs against higher ranked teams LOL. They ruined Aus chances only to get bullied in the Super 8 stage. I also hope we dont get to see these guys tour BD anytime soon either.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Good win by us & mighty relieved saf best wi.
Need to knock off windies at Kolkata now...
Won't be easy & hope our guys & media don't go all overconfident & gung ho after victory vs mighty zimbabwe

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Meanwhile wonderkid BabyBoss Vaibhav Suryavanshi hits 63 off 19 in the D Y Patil tournament...with 7 fours & 5 sixes ..
& In ranji trophy finals good showing by J & K - surprised all & dominating vs Karnataka, terrific pace bowlers in Aaqib nabi...

Suryavanshi is going to be a nightmare once he has matured .

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Suryavanshi is going to be a nightmare once he has matured .

I just hope he is NOT selected for IPL & remains away for at least 2 years, plays domestics - India A etc...no need for such young guy to enter the razzamataaz world of IPL...let him do the hard yards - let him earn his success at every stage... .Let his body becomes more accustomed to the rigors of hard travel/training,/cricket..
But knowing our bombastic chest thumping media , fans & our mentality to see short term victories over long time gains, this won't happen.

I hope he is grounded & does not get carried away.
Saw a vdo of after the U-19 WC finals in which he was speaking to his parents on the phone, seems a very well mannered polite , sanskari baccha

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

This would be funny if Farhan wasn't the leading run-scorer in the tournament. But I guess England is a minnow too right? Now shut up and buzz off instead of derailing the thread with something that has nothing to do with this match

Why are his stats so poor vs SENA plus India even since he turned beast mode on in 2025 according to you?

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

The fun part is 56.3 percent voted for a Zimbabwe victory in the above polls

 

[globetrotter]

he is not drafted in psl

Yes as PCB trying to take away Babar from Zimbabwe's shadow

He created an edge very first ball of the chasing.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

So, obviously Zimbabwe very much wants IPL contracts where as South Africa don't want the same

 

[LongHorn]

LOL so if it Rains on Sunday than WI go through to Semi's because of the higher NRR?

Rain in Kolkata is rare from December to mid March

 

[cricket.mad]

bowling doesn’t look great.cant take WI game as a given thing..actually that’s good..no easy path should be there for any one…

 

[BouncerGuy]

Abhishek the slogger comes out good in this game... Zimbushek

 

[pillionrider]

Great knock nonetheless. Might get him an IPL deal if someone pulls out or gets injured.

It's always difficult for a foreigner with the cap per playing XI. Was rooting for his hundred yesterday.

Saim would scoff at such a personal milestone , but it's something for his friends and family and himself to feel happy about - big tournament and vs a big team. If nothing else ever works out for him ever, these kind of milestones are significant. All he needed was one or two more balls of the strike and he'd have got it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Great knock nonetheless. Might get him an IPL deal if someone pulls out or gets injured.

Has he been picked up in the PSL?

 

[sweep_shot]

Correct.

This is why India's 2024 World T20 and CT 2025 wins shouldn't be taken seriously. They won those while receiving venue perks, scheduling perks etc.

 

[sweep_shot]

Abhishek the slogger comes out good in this game... Zimbushek

Zimbushek. LOL! Good one.

I have written it before. Abishek is a home track/flat track/group stage/minnow bully.

He doesn't have the skills to consistently do well against good bowling attacks. He is just a T20 slogger.

 

[Sachin fan]

Goats don't choke in 2 finals 1 at home.

How many world cup and other finals have your goats won? Ponting played 5 world cup finals and succeed in just one.

Bumrah was man of the series in last t20 wc.

Please tell me the names of those other "goats" who have won multiple cups and succeed in them (not just part of a winning team)

You again want bumrah to do something no one else did, hence showing you have higher standards for him compared to every other players in history.

What a poor rebuttal.

 

[Devadwal]

Abhishek the slogger comes out good in this game... Zimbushek

Real Zimbu aka Bobsy, when all the players get into form in the match against Zimbabwe, his reaction is something like this - Oh God, please Ek bar zimbabwe se moka de do ( please give me a chance to play a match with Zimbabwe once)

We all saw how he failed when there was some brain in the bowlers and when the softies came, Zimbushek cashed on it.. SOftie Zimbushek... Minnow smasher.

 

[Devadwal]

Checked his record against all teams. There is reason why he is number 1 batsman in ICC rankings with strike rate over 190

He is not a statpaddler like zimbu aka Fake King

 

[Mesozoic]

Correct.

India have returned the favor to South Africa.

SA defeated West Indies to help India, so India have defeated Zimbabwe to make SA officially qualify for Semis.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Some clown journalist asked Brian Bennett: "Bennett had a good chance to score a century, why your batters didn't let him? Bennett had to remind him he was Bennett lol

Indian bowling has been a let down and most fans are worried for the Eden Gardens knock out match against West Indies.
