T20 World Cup: India defeats Zimbabwe to maintain hopes
/span>
It was intended to be a one-sided contest. However, how much? The outcome lets you guess. India defeated Zimbabwe by 72 runs in the Super Eight encounter.
In addition to winning, India swept through Zimbabwe. In 20 overs, Suryakumar Yadav's team amassed 256 runs for 4 wickets. In a T20 World Cup, India has never scored that many runs. In addition, this is the second-highest team total in World Cup history. The only better score is Sri Lanka's 260 runs against Kenya during the 2007 World Cup.
In the last Super Eight encounter, Zimbabwe had let up 256 runs against the West Indies. For the first time in T20 history, a side has given up more than 250 runs in two straight games.
Zimbabwe sent India to bat first after winning the toss. Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, the two openers, were aggressive right away. In six power play overs, India amassed 80 runs at a cost of one wicket. For the remainder of the innings, this forceful batting approach persisted.
Samson scored the fewest runs (24) out of the six batters that batted for India. Each of the six had more than 150 blows. More than 20 runs at a high strike rate have been scored by so many batters in T20Is for the first time. Abhishek Sharma was one of them, scoring fifty off twenty-six balls.
In addition, Tilak Verma's 44 and Hardik Pandya's 50 from 23 balls
