Hundreds of Indian students facing ‘deportation’ from Canada stage protest
Nagpur, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan kept their hopes alive of advancing past the World T20 group stages on Thursday with contrasting victories in Nagpur on the third day of the tournament. Left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza picked up 4/28 to help Zimbabwe to an 11-run win over Group B rivals Scotland who became the first team to be knocked out of the biennial event following two consecutive defeats. Hong Kong then became the second team to be ousted as they lost by six wickets to Afghanistan in the late Group B match.
Sean Williams (53) and late hitting from Elton Chigumbura (20) took their side to 147/7 in 20 overs. Scotland were then reduced to 20/4 before staging a recovery with a 51-run stand for the sixth wicket between Richie Berrington and captain Preston Mommsen. But in the end it wasn’t adequate.
Brief scores: Zimbabwe 147/7 (Willians 53, Mark Watt 2/21); Scotland 136 (Berrington 36, Mommsen 31, Wellington Masakadza 4/28, Donald Tiripano 2/20).
Hong Kong 116/6 (Campbell 27, Mohammad Nabi 4/20); Afghanistan 119/4 in 18 overs (Mohammad Shahzad 41, Noor Zadran 32; Campbell 2/28).
