That’s easily the weakest group or the best group to advance

There's a chance Zimbabwe making it to the super 8s. Lets hope they have more games at the subcontintent before the WC.
Re: ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 discussion
I genuinely think we can repeat our heroics against SL because we somehow seem to stand up to their level (as long as Nissanka goes cheaply) and we can avoid the stumble against Oman, Ireland is the game I'm worried about most. Super 8 is actually on here.

Re: ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 discussion
Zimbabwe are heavily reliant on Bennett and Raza to get bulk of the runs. Otherwise the batting is thin. Bowling is good, I hope Blessing will be back as well so bowling is good.
Ireland are a good side and SL will be playing at home, so it's not going to be easy by any means... Zimbabwe need to make sure they select the best players.
