"Flat pitch. Big boundaries. Ahmedabad.
Every bowler suffered today.
Except one.
Bumrah — 4-0-15-3
No conditions. No help. No excuses.
When the whole team bleeds, Bumrah operates.
That's not talent. That's LEGEND. 🐐🔥

Mike Hesson on not sending Babar vs Namibia:
“Babar saw the left-arm spinner was turning it sharply. Sending a right-hander then wasn’t smart. We waited for his spell to end, then Nafay came in to attack exactly what the situation needed.”
@Rajiv1841 Agree, disagree, agree again: Indian cricket fans treat 36 like it's a death sentence but somehow expect their favorite batter to score 300 in a farewell tour
Zimbabwe had no sponsor.
No funding.
No support.
No one believed in them.
They showed up anyway.
Beat Australia.
Beat Sri Lanka.
Made history.
The biggest rooms in the world are entered without an invitation.
You don't need permission to be great. 🇿🇼🔥
#T20WorldCup2026
Zimbabwe's World Cup journey is not just about cricket.
It's about:
→ Surviving a ban
→ Rebuilding from zero
→ Grinding through qualifiers nobody watched
→ Shocking the world when it mattered
This is what real comebacks look like.
6/6
Nobody is talking about Zimbabwe in this World Cup.
They should be.
→ Knocked out Australia 🇦🇺
→ Beat Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 on their home soil
→ Reached Super 8 for the FIRST TIME in history
This team came from literally nothing.

Zimbabwe then beat Sri Lanka today by 6 wickets.
On Sri Lanka's own soil. In their home World Cup.

✅ First time EVER in Zimbabwe's history

Best World Cup result since 1999. 🏆

"Shadab Khan's presser summary:
→ Criticized ex-legends publicly ✅
→ Defended the India loss ✅
→ Claimed Finals spot ✅
→ Called Ramadan their 12th player ✅
Most confident man in a losing team.
Honestly? Pakistan cricket without drama is not Pakistan cricket. 😂

"Shadab Khan in press conference just said:
"Former legends couldn't do what WE did. WE beat India in a World Cup."
This is after losing to India by 61 runs 4 days ago.
Pakistani cricketers really have a different level of confidence.
Thread on everything he said 🧵👇

"Reporter: "Will Pakistan reach the Semi-Finals?"
Shadab: "Not Semi-Final. We'll play the FINAL."
Then added:
"Ramadan has started. It will be our 12th player." 🌙
Pakistan Super 8 schedule:
→ vs NZ — Feb 21
→ vs England — Feb 24

Let's see. 👀

One failure doesn't mean he should be dropped. Credit to Aryan Dutt for brilliant execution.
When Abhishek is in form? He wins games in the powerplay alone." 🔥

Ravi Ashwin on Abhishek Sharma 🏏
Ashwin said:
"Abhishek's game is to clear his front leg and swing hard especially against spinners bowling tight lines.
But bowlers have figured it out now. They're targeting him closer to the body, taking away the room to free his arms.
1/3
Today, Aryan Dutt angled it in perfectly and the ball went right through.
With the new ball, he could've stepped forward like Shivam Dube and played it straight. He was slightly out of position and unwell too.
