Zimbabwe vs Australia: Blessing Muzarabani, Brian Bennett Script Historic T20 World Cup Upset
- On Friday, Zimbabwe upset Australia at the R. Premadasa Stadium, beating them by 23 runs after posting 146.
- Ahead of the match, Australia had a 67-run win over Ireland but missed marquee pacers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood due to injury, while Zimbabwe came off an eight-wicket win over Oman.
- Brian Bennett and Tadiwanashe Marumani gave Zimbabwe a strong start with a 61-run stand, while Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans took four powerplay wickets, Muzarabani finishing 4/17.
- With the victory, Zimbabwe leapfrogged to second in Group B, level on points with top-placed Sri Lanka, while Australia dropped to third with two points, risking elimination from the Super Eights.
- Those moments underscored tactical and fitness issues as Travis Head's bowling changes, including Adam Zampa, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Glenn Maxwell, failed to stop Zimbabwe, while Marcus Stoinis walked off after being hit, complicating Australia's recovery.
