Zimbabwe posted a competitive total of 153 for 7 against South Africa in the penultimate Super 8 clash of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, thanks to a fighting half-century from skipper Sikandar Raza.
 
South Africa now need 154 runs in 20 overs to win the contest and maintain their unbeaten run in the tournament.
 
South Africa Strike Early
 
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe elected to bat first but suffered an early setback when Kwena Maphaka struck in the second over. The left-arm pacer cleaned up Tadiwanashe Marumani, who managed just 7 runs off 7 balls, putting Zimbabwe under pressure early.
 
 
In-form Brian Bennett, who had been among the team’s most reliable batters in the tournament, failed to extend his purple patch. He scored 15 off 13 balls before being dismissed by Anrich Nortje.
 
Raza Anchors Zimbabwe Through Powerplay
 
With two early wickets down, captain Sikandar Raza took charge of the innings. He counter-attacked by collecting 16 runs in an over from Corbin Bosch, helping Zimbabwe recover some momentum.
 
Zimbabwe reached 45 for 2 at the end of the powerplay, with Raza leading the resistance.
 
Middle Order Struggles Against Proteas Bowlers
 
Zimbabwe struggled to build partnerships during the middle overs as South Africa’s bowlers kept striking at regular intervals.
 
Dion Myers looked scratchy during his stay and managed only 11 runs from 16 balls before being dismissed by George Linde. Shortly after, Ryan Burl fell for 5 off 5 balls, losing his wicket to Lungi Ngidi.
 
The pressure continued to mount when Corbin Bosch removed Tony Munyonga for 2 off 5 balls, leaving Zimbabwe in trouble at 87 for 5.
 
Raza’s Counterattack Keeps Zimbabwe in the Fight
 
Despite wickets falling around him, Sikandar Raza continued to battle from one end. The Zimbabwe captain played an aggressive knock and brought up his 17th T20I half-century in just 29 balls, ensuring his team crossed the 100-run mark.
 
Raza eventually fell for a well-made 73 off 43 balls, dismissed by Kwena Maphaka after anchoring the innings and keeping Zimbabwe competitive.
 
Late Contributions Push Zimbabwe Past 150
 
In the closing overs, Clive Madande provided valuable support with an unbeaten 26 off 20 balls, while Brad Evans chipped in with 8 off 11 balls.
 
The pair added a useful 20-run partnership for the seventh wicket, helping Zimbabwe reach 153 for 7 at the end of their 20 overs.

The coin flip of the match went in Zimbabwe's way who opted to bat first.  Captain's take after toss:  Aiden Markram (SA): We would have batted first as well, we've been chasing well and wanted to see how we go batting first. The drive is to continue doing what we've been doing well - three changes for us: Kewna Maphaka is in, Anrich Nortje and George Linde are in. They've been working behind the scenes and deserve some game time. This also gives us a chance to see them in action if any injuries occur going forward.   Sikandar Raza (ZIM): We will bat first, a day game and unfortunately with the injuries we have, it suits our gameplan. Richard Ngarava misses out with a lowerback injury. We've seen the reality, we have to see how we can improve and become a mid-table team in 18 months time.
