[Asif321]

Zimbabwe scored more than India

 

[Asif321]

Don’t see SA losing at modi stadium vs WI . So WI vs India likely a quarter final

 

[Asif321]

Both SA and WI need to win just one match to go through while India needs to win 2 to qualify

SA definitely qualifying , it’s shoot out now between WI and Ind.

 

[Devadwal]

SA definitely qualifying , it’s shoot out now between WI and Ind.

High chance but still they can knockout if they lose against WI ,

You never know how they perform in a must win game against Zimbabwe knowing choking history.

India are playing their last Super-8 match against Zimbabwe and know what they need to do to qualify.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

WI will win this easily .. won’t be surprised if they actually thrash zim with heavy nrr

They actually did that … zim has their moments pitch had so much bounce which actually suited the heir tall fast bowlers but fielding was horrible

 

[IAJ]

Now west Indies must beat South Africa.
India will be kicked out. Can't wait

Zimbabwe will now play fearless cricket against India and beat them

Shimron Hetmyer blasted a sensational 85 from just 34 deliveries as the West Indies cricket team kicked off their T20 World Cup Super 8 campaign with a commanding 107-run win over the Zimbabwe national cricket team.

Hetmyer smashed seven fours and seven sixes, combining elegance with brute force at a staggering strike rate of 250, powering West Indies to an imposing 254-6. The left-hander from Guyana was handed two reprieves by Tashinga Musekiwa on nine and 70 before eventually falling to a deep mid-wicket catch by Brian Bennett off veteran spinner Graeme Cremer.

Skipper Rovman Powell accelerated after a cautious start, hammering 59 off 35 balls, while useful late contributions from Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd and Jason Holder added further momentum.

West Indies’ 254-6 became the second-highest total in T20 World Cup history, behind Sri Lanka national cricket team’s 260-6 against Kenya in 2007. It proved a difficult outing for Zimbabwe’s bowlers, with Cremer (economy 9.50) the only one to concede fewer than 10 runs per over.

Chasing a daunting target at Wankhede Stadium — where no team had previously hunted down more than 230 in T20 internationals or the IPL — Zimbabwe quickly stumbled. Akeal Hosein removed Bennett for five before dismissing Ryan Burl for a duck three balls later, leaving the Chevrons struggling at 20-3 in the third over.

Fellow left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie tore through the middle order, finishing with 4-28, beginning with a superb delivery to dismiss Dion Myers for 28.

With the contest long decided, Brad Evans added late resistance, smashing five sixes in a spirited 43 off 21 balls. He and Richard Ngarava put together a World Cup record 10th-wicket partnership of 44 to reduce the margin of defeat.

They have lost against Scotland in must win game in 2022 World T20. So you never know

 

[Mas-LFC]

If SA is clever, they’ll lose to windies close, then smash Zimbabwe and kick host out, which they wont have to face in the final.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Most of the matches were close in the normal groups. The super 8s arrive and the matches have become super one sided. What kind of sorcery is this?

If SA is clever, they’ll lose to windies close, then smash Zimbabwe and kick host out, which they wont have to face in the final.

That match will be kind of quarter final. Whoever wins it will have a higher chance to make it to the semi-final. Still feel that only one of WI/RSA will make it to the semi. Unless Zimbabwe pull an all-timer miracle, the hosts will make it to the semis.

[AZulfi]

That's what we call a hammering.

Looking forward to the RSA vs Windies game on Thursday. Should be a real cracker

 

[AZulfi]

Btw the largest margin of victory by runs against a test-playing nation is India's 168-run win vs New Zealand in Ahmedabad in 2023

No One but hoping for a gery close game, i don't want a Big win for either team.

Sorry for your loss

SA will not loose to Zim

Maybe Read again what was i said.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

WI looking extremely dangerous. Big contenders for the title. They are in the mood.

 

[gazza619]

Our Zimbabwean brothers are used to playing in the calm atmospheres of Bulawayo, the chilled environment of Lahore and the soothing territory of Colombo. Coming to a chaotic and unwelcoming mumbai was a step too far for them.

will be different ball game in Sri Lanka

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wankhede is like home ground for West Indian beasts. You can't easily beat them there. Pollard has left a lasting legacy at this venue

 

[CricVet]

WI & SA will be fine with one close loss & just one victory. It will be Ind under pressure to win BIG in its next game, not just win. Zim will not be able to pummel any of the 2 teams, but can win a close game.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hope WI wins the whole thing. Wish they had all the matches at Wankhede.
