3 min readFeb 27, 2026 11:34 AM IST Abhishek Sharma finally found his feet in the ongoing T20 World Cup with a typically aggressive half-century in India’s Super Eights match against Zimbabwe at the Chepauk Stadium on Thursday. Abhishek smashed 55 in 30 balls as India notched up a mammoth 256/4 batting first. The hosts won the match by 72 runs, thus taking a huge leap forward in their mission to reach the semifinals of the tournament. Among those that lauded Abhishek on social media was Yuvraj Singh, the India great who has also been a mentor to him and Shubman Gill, among other young batters from Punjab. “The best chatter is when you let the bat do all the talking! Good Innings sir Abhishek, keep pushing,” Yuvraj wrote on his Insta story. Abhishek came into the tournament on the back of some utterly astonishing form in T20Is.

Hours before the game started, Arshdeep Singh’s family was watching the South Africa versus West Indies game in their hotel room in Chennai. “When the West Indies batsmen were hitting, my dad used to chide, saying, ‘what are you doing, what are you doing?” he recounted, chuckling. His reply was practical: “I said, it’s okay, don’t worry, just enjoy the match, and hope that South Africa wins, and we win both our matches well.” It was how he approached the game, too, without any nerves but with the belief that India would beat Zimbabwe. “I think if we win, we play good cricket, the result will take care of itself. We had a lot of fun, they played very well, and we’ll try to not lose in the finals,” he said.

3 min readFeb 26, 2026 04:38 PM IST The West Indies batsmen made merry on the smaller Wankhede Stadium as Shimron Hetmyer and his mates took the Zimbabwe bowlers to the cleaners, amassing 254 in 20 overs. The African side was coming from the more sluggish pitches and bigger fields in Sri Lanka, where scores were relatively lower. Fielding lapses didn’t help their cause, but the conditions at the batting paradise in Mumbai were not to their liking. Even though the muscular Caribbean batsmen didn’t middle all of their big hits, they often found the stands as 60m shots were often enough for maximums. The pitch at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium is also expected to be batting-friendly, but the Zimbabwe team management is hoping that the bigger playing surface may give them a chance. “Certainly, I think, you know, from a boundary size point of view, I think it was probably one of the biggest differences,” Zimbabwe head coach Justin Sammons was quoted as saying by The Herald newspaper. “I think a lot of those …

With the Men in Blue’s net run rate taking a massive hit in that 76-run loss, their path to the semis got all the more difficult when West Indies thrashed Zimbabwe on Monday by 107 runs with the Windies now having a run rate of 5.350, followed by South Africa’s 3.800. India, meanwhile, have a run rate of -3.880 and will have to win both matches against Windies and Zimbabwe to stay alive in the competition. In order to start their comeback, India need a big win against Zimbabwe in Chennai but with their batters not in good touch, it’s a task easier said than done. Only Ishan Kishan and Shivam Dube have looked in form while big hitter Abhishek Sharma hasn’t got going with …

2 min readFeb 19, 2026 01:04 PM IST Zimbabwe’s journey into the Super 8 stage of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup has emerged as one of the most inspiring stories of the tournament, with the Sikandar Raza-led qualifying along with Sri Lanka from Group B. The defining moment came in Colombo, where Zimbabwe stunned Australia with a spirited 23‑run victory. That result proved decisive, pushing the 2021 champions to the brink of elimination. A combination of other results and rain abandoning matches eventually sealed Zimbabwe’s progression, underlining the unpredictable drama of tournament cricket.   “As much as we have achieved, but it’s just a tick in the box. It’s not the whole box that we set out for. So the group stays focused, the group stays committed, and the sacrifices we have to make for them, for the country and for the team and try and get the results, we’ll do that. There will be a small celebration, but we get ready for the next game because it’s just a tick in the …
