T20 WC: Abhishek, Hardik Fifties Power India To Their Highest Tournament Score Against Zimbabwe
T20 World Cup: Abhishek Sharma and Hardik Pandya struck blazing half-centuries as India posted a massive 256/4 against Zimbabwe in their crucial Super Eight clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday. It is also India’s highest total in this tournament and the second-highest score in Men’s T20 World Cup history.
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 20 overs chasing leather, as the defending champions hit an astonishing 17 sixes, also a new record in the T20 World Cup.
Sanju Samson began the fireworks with a 15-ball 24, before Abhishek Sharma showed signs of coming back to his best self by hitting a 30-ball 55. Pandya applied great finishing touches by smashing an unbeaten 23-ball 50, while Tilak Varma also played his part fantastically by hitting an unbeaten 44 off 16 balls.
