T20 World cup Zimbabwe fans Dance celebration Video: Zimbabwe team has reached Super-8 in ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Zimbabwe fans danced vigorously in the stadium on this special occasion.

New Delhi: Zimbabwe team has entered the Super-8 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Zimbabwe was to play the deciding match against Ireland in Pallekele, but due to rain the match had to be abandoned without a single ball being bowled. For this reason, one point each was distributed between both the teams. As soon as the referee announced the cancellation of the match, there was a wave of joy among the Zimbabwean supporters present in the stadium. Fans started dancing in the stadium. Zimbabwe players and supporting staff also hugged each other and congratulated each other for reaching the Super-8. Zimbabwe’s supporters left no stone unturned in celebrating this historic moment. Not only this, the players sitting in the dressing room also danced vigorously.

Let us tell you that before Zimbabwe could reach the Super-8, champions Australia and Ireland were out of the tournament. Both teams got one point each, leaving Zimbabwe with five points. Now on February 26, Zimbabwe will face India in the first Super-8 match in Chennai. After the match, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza said, “We have not achieved the target yet, we have just taken steps towards it.” There will be some celebration but the focus is on the next match.

Zimbabwe could not qualify for the 2024 World Cup

Zimbabwe, which missed qualifying in the tournament last time, has become the seventh team to reach the Super Eight. Group-1 of Super-8 includes the teams of India, South Africa and West Indies. Zimbabwe has to play its last group match against Sri Lanka on 19 February. Sri Lanka has already reached Super Eight with six points. Australia has two points, having been defeated by Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.

Whereas in Group 2 of Super-8, there will be Sri Lanka, England, New Zealand, Pakistan or America. Raza said, “The coach and I will together analyze the Sri Lankan team and try to win this match. Our goal has not changed since qualifying. We have to win this match too.” Former champion Australia was to get a place in the Super Eight only after Zimbabwe lost both the matches but rain had already spoiled its intentions.
