Zimbabwe pull off 23-run upset over Australia in ICC T20 World Cup 2026

In one of the biggest upsets in the history of the T20 World Cup, Zimbabwe defeated Australia by 23 runs in their second match.

Chasing 170, the Aussies were dismissed for 146 in 19.3 overs.

The batters struggled to time the ball on the slow track, with only Matt Renshaw scoring a fifty.

Zimbabwe bowlers executed their plans to perfection and were backed by fielders, who took good catches in the outfield.

Blessing Muzarabani took four wickets while Brad Evans dismissed three batters.

Earlier, Brian Bennett (64), Tadiwanashe Marumani (35), Ryan Burl (35) and Sikandar Raza (25) took the score to 169/2.

Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green claimed one wicket each.
