India delivered a masterclass in power-hitting at the Chepauk Stadium today, crushing Zimbabwe by 72 runs in a high-stakes Super Eight clash. Led by a record-breaking total of 256/4—the highest in India’s T20 World Cup history—the Men in Blue dominated from start to finish. While Zimbabwe’s Brian Bennett played a heroic unbeaten knock of 97, India’s clinical bowling and explosive batting from Hardik Pandya and Abhishek Sharma proved too much to handle. This vital win sets up a “do-or-die” showdown against the West Indies this Sunday for a spot in the semi-finals.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is set to return unopposed as president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) at its annual general meeting on Monday, but his second stint promises to be more challenging with the body facing financial irregularities and credibility concerns, according to PTI.
