Sikandar Raza: Zimbabwe Underdogs in Super 8s

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza described reaching the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8s as a mere 'tick in the box' despite a rain-abandoned victory over Ireland.

'Everybody loves an underdog story,' Raza said, reflecting on the team's long qualification journey through sub-regional qualifiers. He emphasized that their ultimate goal remains unfinished.

Zimbabwe now faces a challenging Super 8 group featuring India, South Africa, and the West Indies. They will face Sri Lanka in their final group match before the knockout stage begins.
