T20 World Cup 2022: Rating Bowling of Super 12 teams in Week 1

9. Zimbabwe- 6/10

The Zimbabweans are riding high on their success following the historic win against Babar Azam’s Pakistan in their previous fixture. Defending a low total of 130 in the Australian tracks is not everyone’s cup of tea but this African nation completely outplayed a dominant Pakistan side.

All-rounder Sikandar Raza was their star performer who guided the side to a massive win against the heavyweights in the match. Three wickets is what came from his name having given away only 25 runs in his four overs. Combined vital performances from Blessing Muzarabani, Brad Evans, and Luke Jongwe gave the side a ray of hope that they could earn the three points and cause an upset to the Men in Green.

However, in their first fixture against South Africa, just prior to the rains, Zimbabwe’s skipper Craig Ervine, handed the ball to three bowlers. Tendai Chatara, Raza, and Richard Ngarava were all thrashed by opener Quinton de Kock who did not show any mercy. However, as the rain announced its arrival, Zimbabwe were lucky to squeeze out a point from the match.
