Sports Desk, 26 February 2026: India registered a convincing 72-run victory over Zimbabwe in the Super 8 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, strengthening their position in the tournament.
Chasing a challenging target of 257 runs, Zimbabwe fought hard but managed to score only 184 runs for the loss of six wickets in their allotted overs. Despite a determined batting effort, the required run rate proved too steep for the Zimbabwean side.
Earlier, India posted a massive total on the scoreboard, setting the tone for the match with an aggressive batting performance. The bowlers then backed it up with disciplined spells, restricting Zimbabwe from building the momentum needed for a successful chase.
The comprehensive win highlighted India’s dominance with both bat and ball and provided a significant boost to their campaign as the Super 8 stage intensifies. Zimbabwe, meanwhile, showed glimpses of resistance but ultimately fell short against the strong Indian lineup.
With this victory, India continues its strong run in the tournament and remains one of the favourites to progress further in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
