Zimbabwe Defeats Australia by 23 Runs in T20 World Cup

Zimbabwe stunned Australia with a 23-run victory in the T20 World Cup, led by Blessing Muzarabani’s career-best bowling figures of 4-17. After setting a target of 170, Zimbabwe’s cautious batting was anchored by Brian Bennett’s 64, while late contributions from Sikandar Raza bolstered their score. Australia faltered at 29-4 but a partnership between Matthew Renshaw and Glenn Maxwell briefly revived hopes before Renshaw’s wicket sealed their fate. This result leaves Group B tightly contested, with Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka ahead of Australia.
