During a Board meeting held in Harare, ZC’s top brass commended the team's campaign in the showpiece event co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe remained unbeaten in Group B, clinching notable victories over heavyweights Australia and hosts Sri Lanka.
“On behalf of the Zimbabwe Cricket Board, I would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to our senior men’s team for a truly historic and inspiring performance at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
