T20 WC: Zimbabwe On Way Back Home From India After Delay Due To Transit Disruptions
T20 World Cup: Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) said on Wednesday that the Sikandar Raza-led senior mens team are on their way back home after playing the Mens T20 World Cup in India after the International Cricket Council (ICC) arranged alternative travel for them following transit disruptions delaying their original plans. Zimbabwes tournament ended after they suffered a five-wicket defeat to South Africa in the Super Eights clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday. They were due to return home in three batches, starting from 4:30am on Monday. It is understood they were to take Emirates flights from New Delhi to Dubai and then take another flight to reach Harare. But after Iran launched missiles and drones across the Gulf in response to strikes by the United States of America (USA) and Israel on Saturday, it led to the closure of airspace in the Middle East and thousands of flights being cancelled in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, leaving their travel plans in jeopardy. Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) confirms that the Zimbabwe senior mens team participating in the ICC Mens T20 World Cup 2026 are on their way home from India after the International Cricket Council secured alternative travel arrangements following recent transit disruptions. Due to flight availability and revised routing, the squad will return to Harare in batches. The first group of players departed India today, Wednesday, while the final group is scheduled to leave on Friday afternoon. Further updates will be issued if necessary, said ZC in its statement. An ICC official informed IANS that the new transit point for Zimbabwes players and support staff to go back home from New Delhi will be Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. A few members of the Zimbabwe team left for home today, while another batch will leave tomorrow via Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines, further said the official. The ICC official previously told this news agency on Sunday that the match officials not needed for the knockout stages of the showpiece event were considering using Addis Ababa as the transit point instead of Dubai for catching connecting flights to their respective hometowns.

T20 WC: Henry, Neesham Return As New Zealand Elect To Bowl Against South Africa
West Indies Super Eights: Fast bowler Matt Henry has returned to New Zealands playing eleven as captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in the first semi-final of 2026 Mens T20 World Cup at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday. The winner of this clash will qualify for the final to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. South Africa have won in all five of their previous meetings against New Zealand in the competitions history. The sides, however, have never faced each other in the knockout stages of the tournament. In 50-over ICC events, New Zealand hold the edge by winning a quarter-final and two semi-finals over South Africa. Apart from Henry, who linked up with the team after the birth of his second child, Santner said Jimmy Neesham is back in for Ish Sodhi. The pitch looked pretty good the other night. We know they are a great outfit and we know we gotta be on, we need to do our thing, put them under pressure and see what happens, he said. South Africa skipper Aiden Markram said Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj are back after being rested from their final Super Eights clash against Zimbabwe, which they won by five wickets in New Delhi. Everyone contributed at some stage which is really pleasing. Hopefully we can start well with the bat and put a good score on the board. We trained here last night and putting runs on the board in a knock-out game is not the worst thing, he said. In their pitch report, Pommie Mbangwa and Aaron Finch said the square boundaries are at 62 and 66 metres, with the straight boundary at 74 metres. They also observed a couple of cracks are visible along the off-stump line for right-handed batters, which may cause some movement early on and lead to inconsistent bounce with the new ball. They also reckoned once the shine wears off, the pitch, which was used for the India-West Indies Super Eights clash, is expected to play true. Finch added that the groundsman told him there was minimal dew in the previous match and more of it is likely to come on the field for Wednesdays knockout clash.

T20 WC: A Look At Englands Semi-final Performances
T20 World Cup: England are all set to play the semi-final for the sixth time in 10 editions of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup, also their fourth consecutive time, and will face India in the knockout game here at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. Both teams have won the title twice, and one of them will move closer to their dream of lifting the coveted cup for a record third time. The Englishmen first made it to the top four in 2010, the third edition of the tournament, where they beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets at the Beausejour Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia. Chasing a lowly target of just 129 runs, England chased down the total with four overs to spare, making it a rather one-sided victory. They then faced Australia in the final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, and went on to beat their arch-rivals by seven wickets, chasing the 148-run target in just 17 overs to lift their maiden T20 World Cup trophy. England's second semi-final appearance came in the 2016 edition, hosted by India, where they beat New Zealand by seven wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi to confirm themselves a final date against eventual champions West Indies. They faced New Zealand again in the next semi-final of the 2021 edition, played in the UAE, but lost by five wickets after failing to defend the 167-run target they posted. Englands next two semi-final appearances came in the 2022 and 2024 editions of the tournament, where they faced India on both occasions. They faced New Zealand again in the next semi-final of the 2021 edition, played in the UAE, but lost by five wickets after failing to defend the 167-run target they posted.

T20 World Cup: For India U-19 2022 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull, the jump from age-group cricket to the senior domestic circuit has been as much about mental growth as on-field performance. The young Delhi batter believes that sharing a dressing room with seasoned professionals has significantly reshaped his approach to the game, helping him evolve both as a player and as a person. The transition from age-group cricket to senior domestic cricket, including the Ranji Trophy, brought new challenges and perspectives. Your mindset definitely changes a bit. When you lead as a captain and then move into senior domestic cricket where youre sharing a dressing room with experienced players, its a completely different environment. Being around seniors gives you confidence, and that experience changes your game and your mindset, Dhull told IANS in an exclusive interview. With India on the brink of another T20 World Cup final, Dhull backed the teams balance and confidence. The match against West Indies was crucial, and they won it very well. Sanju Samson played brilliantly. Right now, the team is in a very good mindset. Im confident that India will win the final this time, he said. He singled out Ishan Kishan for special praise. The way he made a comeback and is now performing in the World Cup is impressive. And the way Sanju made a comeback and won the match for India, both of them can help India even more. The 23-year-old believes that his match-winning hundred in the U19 World Cup 2022 semi-final remains a defining moment of his young career, one that reshaped his mindset as both a batter and a leader. Scoring a hundred in the semi-final was like a dream for me because thats such a crucial stage. First of all, I never even thought I would become captain. Then to score 100 in a semi-final of such an important match, maybe it was Gods plan, and Im grateful for that, he said. His seamless switch to the senior circuit, highlighted by a century on his Ranji debut, came during what he describes as a special phase. Theres a phase in everyones life when things just fall into place. When you keep playing and performing everywhere, theres a certain vibe; wherever you play, youre enjoying yourself and performing consistently. At that time in my life, everything was going well, he said. Having opened and also batted in the middle order, Dhull made it clear where he sees himself long term, saying, I see myself as a team member first. It depends on what the team needs and where I can contribute the most. I prepare according to that. But when pressed on his preferred slot, the Delhi batter was candid. Ive been batting at one-down for Delhi, and that position suits me a lot. I enjoy playing the new ball. So for me, number three is good, one down is my preference. Dhull impressed in both formats last season, striking at 167 in the DPL while also finishing as Delhis second-highest run-scorer in the Ranji Trophy. Asked about it, he said, You just have to stay mentally prepared because sometimes youre playing red-ball cricket and sometimes white-ball cricket. During practice, we switch between red ball and white ball sessions. Its all about mental adjustment. He believes each format offers a unique thrill. In T20, the game can change in just one over. In one-day cricket, momentum keeps shifting. In Tests, sometimes you dont even know until the fourth day what the result will be. Every format has its own fun. The Delhi batter also opened up about the heart condition and surgery he underwent as a child, a phase he describes as transformative. That phase was tough, but it helped me a lot in life. I understood myself better , what mistakes I was making, how I could become mentally stronger. Things were going smoothly and suddenly there was a setback. My motivation was to recover quickly and come back in better form, he said. Reassuringly, he added, Touchwood, everything is fine. I stopped taking medicines more than a year ago. I live a completely normal life like any other person. That phase was tough, but it helped me a lot in life. I understood myself better , what mistakes I was making, how I could become mentally stronger. Things were going smoothly and suddenly there was a setback. My motivation was to recover quickly and come back in better form, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score For Dhull, the journey from U-19 glory to senior ambition is still unfolding, but clarity of role, adaptability, and resilience already define the road ahead.
