🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Super8 - M51: ZIM vs SA🏏 - Page 5

You've all called for it - and the powers that be haven't disappointed. Sikandar Raza is player of the match, with 73 from 43 and 3 for 29: "My immediate reflection is that I shouldn't be here! I've never got a man of the match for losing a game. We took a bit of a beating in the last two games but each beating came with valuable lessons. We take these valuable lessons, go home and hopefully come back strong and better.

"I thought 180 would be par on that wicket because it was slightly on the skinny, low side. I thought maybe 170, 175 would be a very good total on that wicket. True to that, if we got to that, I thought it would be a very interesting game.

Feeling bad for Zim
