T20 WC: Arshdeep Picks 3-24 As India Beat Zimbabwe, Set Up Virtual Knockout Clash Against WI
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Arshdeep Singh claimed 3-24 as India comfortably beat Zimbabwe by 72 runs in their Super Eights clash of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. The result meant Zimbabwe are eliminated from the competition while confirming South Africa's place in the semifinals.
The result puts India's campaign firmly back on track after an earlier 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, chasing an imposing 257, were never truly in the hunt. Yet Brian Bennett ensured the contest retained some dignity, as he struck an impressive 97 not out off 59 balls – laced with eight fours and four sixes. His lone act of defiance took Zimbabwe to a creditable 184/6, though Bennett fell three runs short of a landmark century.
