India vs Zimbabwe, 48th Match, Super 8 Group 1 (X1 v X2), ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Blessing Muzarabani to Sanju Samson, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Gone! Samson was so good against anything short, but not on this occasion. 106ks slower short ball that kept wobbling into the right hander. Samson had made room early and dragged the slog-pull off the thick inside half towards the man running in from deep mid-wicket. Burl kept his eyes on the ball and had to slide at the last moment to complete the catch. Sanju Samson c Ryan Burl b Blessing Muzarabani 24(15) [4s-1 6s-2]
