Zimbabwean all-rounder, Sikandar Raza, says he actually believed they worked as a team to win the T2O World Cup match against Pakistan despite being named the player of the match.
After the match, one of Hindustan Times (HT) sports deck reporter asked Raza when he started to believe they would win the match.
Said Raza, “Before the first ball was bowled. I personally thought we were 15-20 runs short, but I really truly believed in this group of boys.
“We knew if we field well and take our chances, and cut those important twos, we can really win this game. And the way Ngarawa and Mbunu (Blessing Muzarabani) started the first two overs, and then of course, we had early wickets.”
Raza was the hero for Zimbabwe with the ball, as he picked three crucial wickets in the run-chase including that of Shan Masood, while Brad Evans, who bowled the last over of the match, produced a brilliant performance under-pressure to register figures 2/25 in four overs.
Zimbabwe registered an incredible one-run win over Pakistan yesterday delivering a big blow to the latter’s chances for a semi-final qualification in the tournament.
Earlier, Pakistan faced a four-wicket defeat to India.
