It was quite an emotional return to the World Cup stage for Zimbabwe for the first time in six long years and Raza said yesterday’s win strengthened him more. Most of the batters could not convert their starts into big scores but Zimbabwe still recovered from a dangerous position of 37/3 and recorded their highest score in the ICC T20 World Cup. The previous best was 163/5 against the same opponents at the 2014 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. We are ecstatic to put up a performance like this first game back into the World Cup. I think it just shows that we do belong here and it’s a pity that it has been so long since we last played in the World Cup,” said Ervine.
