ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
Mumbai, Feb 22: Having not played a T20I for over a decade in India will not worry Zimbabwe as the African nation has the wherewithal to produce a “top performance” in the T20 World Cup Super Eights, reckoned skipper Sikandar Raza here on Sunday.
Zimbabwe punched above their weight beating Sri Lanka and Australia in the group stage, but now they are clubbed with champions India and runners-up South Africa, and two-time winners West Indies, their opponents here at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.
“Regardless of how the result goes, I don’t think it will be because we couldn’t adjust to the conditions. That is not how Zimbabweans are thinking or that is not how we are thinking,” Raza told reporters.“We are having our warm-up now, we are going to have our nets session. We absorb; we watch a lot of cricket (and) some of us have played here as well and the majority of us haven’t,” said Raza, who featured in two IPL 2023 and 2024 for Punjab Kings.“Instead of worrying about the smaller grounds or anything… it’s going to stay the same for both teams”. said Raza.
