Sikandar Raza | Captain of Zimbabwe – Qualifying for the Super Eights was undoubtedly a significant milestone. Securing a spot in the next World Cup without going through qualifiers is a tremendous accomplishment. Despite our losses in the Super 8s, I can assure you that we have learned valuable lessons. After our initial match, we improved. Following the second game, we progressed even further. These are the aspects that give me confidence in my team; we are evolving, and as a captain, I couldn’t have asked for more, nor could I be prouder of the boys. As a leader, I feel immense pride in this group because I truly believe we improved with each match. Looking ahead to the next ICC event, I hope we will be even stronger. (if he and the senior players would still be a part of this set-up) Absolutely, it may seem distant for some of us, but we are aware of our current position and how we can advance. For me, the culture we’ve established in the team is crucial; whether we are present or not, I believe this team should operate smoothly. If Allah permits, we hope all the senior players remain fit and healthy, and we would love to be involved. That said, the culture and relationships we’ve fostered with fans, both at home and abroad, indicate we are on the right path, instilling hope in those back home. (on the crowd support) The Chevrons have achieved something unprecedented. I believe this gives parents hope to encourage their children to pursue cricket as a primary sport, which will enhance our player pool and elevate our standards. Currently, Zimbabwe’s immediate need is to expand its talent pool. However, I feel that what we’ve accomplished means Zimbabwe will naturally progress. (on the roadmap to the future) I can guarantee that the Zimbabwe management, including the MD and chairman, has been actively working behind the scenes. We have three home tours and one away tour scheduled for 2026, with the potential for two additional tours and three A-series. Management has been diligently planning without me disclosing too much; you can expect to see more of Zimbabwe in the future. Right now, we need to take a moment to pause, regroup, strategize, and outline our approach for the 2027 World Cup, but rest assured, management is hard at work, and you will see Zimbabwe more frequently. Raza entered the match when Zimbabwe was at 28/2.

Zimbabwe vs south africa: South Africa Secures Semi-Final Spot with Victory

newsroom — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 15:14:28 +0000

South Africa delivered a lackluster batting display but managed to defeat Zimbabwe by five wickets, securing a place in the semi-finals against New Zealand.

A vital 42 runs off 18 balls from Dewald Brevis, batting at number four, was key as South Africa lost wickets in their pursuit of 154. However, George Linde (30 runs from 21 balls) and Tristan Stubbs (21 runs from 24 balls) guided the team to victory with 13 balls remaining.

South Africa, having triumphed in all seven of their games during this tournament, is on the hunt for their first T20 World Cup championship, following their previous appearance in the final in 2024.

The outcome also verifies that England, who topped Group 2 in the Super 8s, will encounter either India or West Indies in the semifinals, as neither team can surpass South Africa’s total of six points.

Zimbabwe faces South Africa in the concluding Super 8 match at 13:30 GMT, where the victor will advance to the semi-finals.

"South Africa will be difficult to overcome. They have fulfilled every requirement in this competition," remarked former Australia wicketkeeper Ryan Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra.

"The group possesses a strong conviction and is beginning to revel in the success of their emerging talents who have matured."

"Today focused on giving some time to the substitutes in case any players require a break."
