Australia lost to Sri Lanka after Zimbabwe

The Australian cricket team, which became champion in 2021, has not reached the semi-finals of the last three T20 World Cups. This is also the worst performance of the Kangaroos since 2009. That year, Australia could not reach the Super Eight after losing to West Indies and Sri Lanka. After losing their first match to Zimbabwe, defeat to Sri Lanka has proved costly for the Kangaroos.

Zimbabwe advanced so far for the first time

This is the first time that Zimbabwe has reached the second round in the history of T20 World Cup. Earlier, Zimbabwe had finished last in the Super 12 group in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Zimbabwe has now reached the highest position in any format of the Cricket World Cup. Earlier, the team had finished fifth in the 1999 ODI World Cup, and missed a place in the semi-finals on the basis of net run rate.

Zimbabwe could not even make any sacrifice in the last World Cup

In the last T20 World Cup two years ago, Zimbabwe could not even make any sacrifices, but this tournament has been fantastic. They defeated Oman by eight wickets with 39 balls remaining. After this, they defeated Australia on a slow and low bouncy pitch at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Zimbabwe will now replace Australia in Group 1 of the Super 8 round, where they will face title contenders India, West Indies and 2024 finalists South Africa.
