In a high-scoring encounter at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Super 8 stage, India piled up a massive total of 256/4 in their 20 overs, putting Zimbabwe under immense pressure in a must-win contest.
Chasing 257 for victory, Zimbabwe reached 39/0 in 5.3 overs, but the task ahead remains daunting. They require 218 runs from 87 balls, with the required run rate soaring to 15.0 runs per over.
Brian Bennett has provided a steady start with 21 off 17 balls, while Tadiwanashe Marumani is unbeaten on 17 from 16 deliveries. However, the asking rate continues to climb against a disciplined Indian bowling attack.
For India, Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy have kept things tight in the early overs, maintaining control despite the aggressive target.
With a huge total on the board and Zimbabwe needing something extraordinary, the momentum firmly sits with India as the Super 8 battle heats up.
