    T20 WC: Abhishek, Hardik Set Up India’s 72-run Win Over Zimbabwe, Stay Alive In Race For Semifinals (ld)

    T20 World Cup: Abhishek Sharma and Hardik Pandya struck blazing half-centuries while Arshdeep Singh claimed 3-24 as defending champions India secured a 72-run victory over Zimbabwe in their Super Eights clash in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday.

    The result meant Zimbabwe are eliminated from the competition while confirming South Africa's place in the semifinals. The big win in Chennai puts India's campaign firmly back on track after an earlier 76-run stumble against South Africa, but it makes their clash against fellow two-time champions West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on March 1 a virtual knockout clash.

    Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and elected to bowl due to sensing moisture in the pitch that might assist his seamers. But his gamble backfired spectacularly as India's batters attacked from the word go, sent Zimbabwe's bowlers for the better part of twenty overs chasing leather, as the defending champions hit an astonishing 17 sixes, also a new record in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
