🔥 Top 3 Moments of the Week
1. The High-Voltage Clash: India vs Pakistan (Feb 15)
In the most anticipated match of the tournament, India continued their dominance over Pakistan with a convincing 61-run victory in Colombo. Ishan Kishan’s explosive 77 set a massive target, while the Indian bowling attack bundled Pakistan out for just 114 runs.
2. The Double Super Over: South Africa vs Afghanistan (Feb 11)
Perhaps the match of the tournament so far, South Africa and Afghanistan played out a tie that required two Super Overs to decide the winner. South Africa eventually held their nerve to clinch 2 vital points.
3. New Zealand’s Clinical Perfection (Feb 10)
New Zealand showed no mercy to UAE, chasing down the target without losing a single wicket. Tim Seifert’s unbeaten 89 remains one of the highest individual scores of the week.
Australia’s Shock Elimination
In the biggest upset of the tournament, the 2021 champions Australia have been officially knocked out before the Super 8 stage.
- The Path to Exit: After a convincing opening win against Ireland, the Aussies suffered back-to-back defeats to Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
- Rain Ruined Last Hopes: Australia’s fate was sealed on February 17th when the match between Ireland and Zimbabwe was washed out. The resulting point for Zimbabwe took them to 5 points, a total Australia cannot reach even if they win their final group match against Oman.
- Historic Failure: This marks only the second time in 10 editions of the T20 World Cup that Australia has failed to progress beyond the group stage.
