00:00a warm welcome to the single e-sports club grounds and this is a group a class between
00:16Zimbabwe and Oman and indeed both teams are very very excited as they look forward to
00:23this clash Zimbabwe led by Sikandarasa they've got a wonderful squad and Oman of course Jitendra Singh
00:33and there you are we see the teams arriving at the single e-sports club the toss was won by Zimbabwe
00:41they had no hesitation in pulling first that's the game coming up at the single e-sports club
00:47Colombo a groupie clash in Zimbabwe and Omar yeah well Jitendra Singh will open up his captain
00:54Amir Khalil is back in the side he's been in and out of the side but good to have him back he's the
00:58oldest player ever to play in a t20 World Cup Jitendra in the middle and Vinayak Shukla he's
01:03the keeper and he whacks it for me let me tell you striker at a 140 Nadim Khan left arm wrist spin and
01:09then they got pace left arm pace and right arm pace it's a nicely balanced side and they've got a lot
01:15of power in that middle order upon me so I think they're pretty happy with their makeup yep they're
01:20gonna have to put runs on the border look at Zimbabwe's side and what you would pick out Russell
01:25Arnold the opening partnership they've been very good Bennett been outstanding along with Marumani
01:31and then of course the faster bowlers because there's height and pace there which they can use
01:37the conditions to their advantage Sikandarasa of course they expect all the time and a quick
01:42reminder that Zimbabwe won the toss and they will be bowling first both team very very eager out there
01:52Zimbabwe happy with the preparation Oman needed it to be a little bit better there was that interesting
02:00discussion about the release points being tall bowlers talk about the bounce at the pitch was him
02:09emphasized on the fact that the importance of the short ball the lens to bowl right Richard Ngarawa 28
02:16years left arm fast medium he can be quite nasty with the bounce he gets he's sharp as well
02:24straight away there's bounce it's a wide but good pace oh that is a wonderful start and look who's gone
02:40it's the captain he was just sitting on the back foot decided to come forward but very late how good it was
02:47the length just a perfect length that in the sink gone for five is seven for one one and the Hamad
02:55Nilsa average under 20 strike rate over a hundred oh yes yes that's we got number two it never looked
03:09comfortable I'll tell you you can't play too many shots early in the game yes it was nicely full but
03:16look at the steep bounce the spongy kind of bounce and if you're looking to pull the ball you have no
03:23chance very little chance right Zimbabwe Oman in a spot of water bothers current Sonowale is a new batter
03:37again didn't know much about it now interesting whether it came off the bat let's see its leg buys
03:46no it's leg buys or gives it that room and that is gonna be for perfect for him because he was looking
03:58for that width you're willing to just give yourself a little bit of room and if you can heal with the
04:03bounce and play that short rather than pulling the ball and make sure you also stay still when you're
04:11playing the short this was a fuller length delivery outside the off stump you had to reach for it a bit
04:16but still got enough bat on it and that length was perfect this one might be another wicket yes there
04:24is that bounce worked again for Zimbabwe even the one that he connected he did well as it almost hit
04:34the two of the band once more backing away the bounce Amir Kali about for five Oman tottering at 16 for
04:43three
04:50and another one byster does a little glove easy cash so we can keep up was a body has been too hot lovely
05:03to see presentation here we talk about the bounce on to the gloves quicker and thank you very much for
05:11Brendan Taylor behind the stumps Oman in very very deep trouble out without scoring a man some deep for four
05:18better well controlled it wasn't quite as high from was a rabani and finally light relief for a man he rolled his
05:36his wrists look at his wrists look at this control that will give him a lot of confidence as a batter
05:44oh what a beauty what a beauty seconder Raza let's have a look there was a fly to delivery that probably didn't turn yes
05:55beautifully pulled in flight Vaseem Ali goes for three man struggling really struggling 27 for five now
06:03in form batter the night should clap with the keeper pattern very good shot
06:14mentioned before the game they are much more comfortable playing against Spain and
06:18they haven't got to grips with the pace our spin today but that was much more like
06:23the night chocolate that's a good shot with the spin to extra cover let's have a look
06:29flight in delivery a couple of steps and then kept his eyes on the ball open the face of the back
06:34towards extra cover not an easy shot to play under pressure
06:40nicely played switched and got it away for four and just helped it on its way but was watching the
06:49ball closely there was not a real bounce when he switched so he was in control ready to hit that shot
06:56and it's hit away leg side in the air and in the gap good batting nicely executed
07:11nice shot late cut and away it goes for four more two in a row getting some sort of a role here
07:18oh man going wider outside off stop just use the pace last one dragged leg side this time he just
07:26made sure that he caught up with it and guided it away
07:30that'll go as well oh this is exactly what they're after oh man
07:42yeah rank long off that one and it had to put it away
07:49the nayak
07:56taken first ball back
07:59it's a good catch by brendan taylor but there's the breaking of the partnership that has been troublesome
08:05and rubber back in the attack short of a length extra bounce it's glove
08:12it's not even hit the bad it's gloves so the bounce did him
08:16shook loud for 28 it's 69 the six
08:19up in the air taken dion myers with the catch and garava with another
08:39again that short ball this time following it is no control at all with the bull shot
08:45Ramanandi gone for one it is 71 for seven half of 15
08:58pull the way into the lake side catcher there's the call and catch it he will
09:04safely patched big boundary lake side evans back into the attack that was short crossima
09:15the unmemored 25 well-made runs fighting run 76 for eight
09:20kilometre the new man in
09:27pull the way pull the way it's got enough they need it they need more
09:32now that was short
09:35that's why it sat up he had all the time
09:38there was no doubt the moment we heard the crack off the bat
09:45balled inside edge
09:49yorker
09:52great opportunity to do some damage it was angled in it tailed back in on an inside edge
10:00does for shaquille shaquille ahmed gone for four
10:0496 for nine the new man in
10:06straight up in the air catch it is the call but it's over brendan taylor's head not for the first time
10:17oh my batter's beaten for pace and the ball travels for a boundary and the hundred comes up
10:22to the bat
10:27can you can you can yes you can brian bennett you absolute ripper that is the catch of the
10:36tournament before he gets the dive out back of the hand slow delivery judging it is not easy there he goes
10:42it was unbelievable and it caps off a wonderful display by zimbabwe with ball and in the field
10:52zimbabwe have done a great job a wonderful start to their campaign
10:57jatinder and amir up they went early in the end in the middle order sufyan and benayak shukla showed
11:05some resistance of 25 and 28 but nadim khan at the back end 20 off 18 may be useful propelling just over
11:15100 103 all out well the pace and the bounce was the undoing for a man nine wickets the first time zimp paces have taken
11:24no decent start
11:32that's off the edge but it'll go to the fence the top edge over the keeper and away for four
11:39still bouncer there space still offering more bounce than what we have seen in the other parts of
11:46uh grounds where we have uh seen matches so far this ssc ground or pitch offers bit more and clearly the
11:56ball just rushing to the batter looking to pull
12:05nicely nice that's good timing more in control that time marumani and he'll pick up a four as well
12:12that was for delivery on the on the lake side all you needed to do was just
12:18into the gap new ball travels quickly this is a very fast outfield have a look at that yet
12:24enough time to go around the ball but the ball was just shooting quickly to the boundary
12:32in the gap it'll go for four more like it from marumani kept the balance there you go
12:41so nicely played
12:47short this time and put away comfortably
12:53marumani feasting here marumani's batting is from the first inning because they
13:00did so well in the first inning you can see the body language both these batters
13:06they're looking to dominate this game they're dominated in the first inning and now with the bat
13:12they're not sparing them anything lose anything short
13:19that's gone a long way off my goodness
13:24one bounce and it'll go across the ropes for four
13:28didn't take him long to judge the face of the surface or speed what shaquille was bowling this was on the
13:35leg side middle leg
13:36got it away early on the pull shot and controlled beautifully by brian bennett
13:51i think he was in a good position he got into a real good position couple of full length deliveries he
13:58managed it nicely and then moving more toward off stump one more toward mid-wicket and uh just watch the
14:07ball very closely this time and the gap was there and you're in the power player there are so many gaps
14:14available
14:18top catch
14:23something to cheer about again looking to cut
14:26medium pacer a slow medium very very lucky that he stayed in the hands
14:30because it hits in the right hand and then just went into the left
14:35nicely passed kept in control first wicket they needed badly
14:42and uh marumani gone for 21 is 30 for one
14:45beyond myers comes at the crease
14:56something something they're saying they heard something we have a player review for caught
15:01behind original decision is not out it's a fair delivery looking at split screen
15:09ball is close to the bat to confirm ultra edge please
15:15keep rolling nice and slow yeah there's a spike when ball is next to the bat
15:21no gap between ball and bat wine change your original not a decision stand bar
15:28then you go by conflict you are on screen make a signal please
15:33there's the decision that is a fantastic catch from vinaya absolutely outstanding
15:40and inside edge he's got to move his way towards that leg side what an over
15:47it's been so far and look at that catch that is amazing
15:52not easy first of all when you're moving and then you have to really keep your hands down
15:56and he passed it and and the presence of mind that myers in and out pretty quickly for none it's 30 for two
16:04too short and brendan taylor pounces on that cut away for four
16:22don't ball him there he loves playing that cut shot balance was great and he hit it into the ground
16:27this is a big square the ball travels quickly once it's leave the fielder
16:35short and wide that's hammered bounce or no bounce
16:40you pull there you're gonna get put away 43 for two at the end of the first six the players will have drinks
16:46that was too easy now bennett is a player who doesn't push forward he holds back
17:01and then plays through the line you can see he's kind of standing inside the crease as well
17:07that'll be four quick outfield in the gap
17:1750 up for zimbabwe two wickets down here into seventh over 54 runs required to win their first game
17:26in this t20 world cup
17:32brian bennett at the top of the order along with marmani have been giving good starts for zimbabwe
17:36that's actually made a big difference
17:40yeah that's gone through four nine of the over 65 for two
17:57actually played yeah he tried but in vain again not the best delivery down right side he's a very
18:05strong one safe player
18:13they're now just helping the ball along and look at that that's a really good sweep shot the lap
18:18guided to the fence and away for four
18:22very quick feet actually before to watching him but haven't seen a great deal of
18:26good hand-eye coordination and
18:34lighted now then the outfield's quick that's good good hands from brian bennett he realizes now
18:40time to press home the advantage and get that net run rate up
18:43always been a good sweeper whether orthodox scooping or on that occasion reverse sweeping 15 off the over 85 for two
18:55make sure of it and in the gap as well we wide that gap between those two men and he spotted it and exploited it
19:11nice from taylor facing oh dear yeah you gotta get back that's good good awareness from brendan taylor
19:23there was a slip in the outfield and himself and brian benner on the same page
19:27clobbered that's a boundary it's short and brian bennett is too good a player and he's in too good form to miss out
19:43yeah been there batter
19:44brian bennett runs galore and he continues on here
19:56lovely shot short and gaping open spaces at his mercy and he plants one in there for four
20:06yeah there you go and then taylor decides well no need for me to be
20:18that's abating this injury that i have i could go and get it checked out straight away
20:24give yourself the best opportunity to be fixed up for for the next one
20:27the skipper will walk out to the middle with six more runs to get paul zimbabwe to glitch this one
20:40and that has a what a player bowled nicely today i thought he captained really well he
20:46open with his bowling changes
20:47ball is two the man is sitting on his heels and brian bennett is very young and very fast he'll get
21:00back for a couple so four to win 100 up 100 for two
21:07clobbered through the offside that should be enough it is enough
21:11the second raza the captain makes light work of the chase and puts the icing on the cake here for
21:18zimbabwe what's a outstanding start to their tournament they have crushed our man at the ssc
21:26by eight wickets with six and a half overs to spare that net run rate will look very healthy
21:33and zimbabwe under second raza have played the perfect game happiness in the zimbabwe camp as the
21:41handshakes go along second raza zimbabwe's captain winning the toss and deciding that his side will
21:50bowl first and bowl they did the fans are here and they were singing in the crowd
21:59first time these two sides have met in the t20 iron
22:03zimbabwe in the chase brian bennett well we talked about before the game we've spoken about how good a
22:08player he is how talented and he's in a rich vein of form 48 unbeaten maromani i thought up front to
22:15tell you what he's got quick hands and quick feet taylor retired hurt but hopefully not too serious
22:23look at the bowling and what they needed very early on were wickets more than the couple that they did get
22:30well from the beautiful ssc in colombo zimbabwe have made light work of a man bowling first bundled out
22:39for 103 for 103. uzurbani excellent and grava superb evans very useful and in the chase 106 for two
