Zimbabwe’s cricket team is set to participate in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup qualifier later this year, which will boost their chances of securing a place in the prestigious tournament. The hosts are eyeing a spot in the World Cup after failing to qualify for the event in 2019. The team is aiming to regain their status as a major force in the world of cricket.
Zimbabwe all-rounder, Wessly Madhevere, expressed his excitement over their upcoming tournament. The squad has been dreaming of playing in such an event for a long time, and they are keen to get back the status that Zimbabwe cricket once had. The team’s confidence is high ahead of their group stage matches, where they will face West Indies, Netherlands, Nepal, and the USA in Group A.
Madhevere became the third Zimbabwe man to take a hat-trick in ODIs earlier this year, a feat that he hopes to repeat in the tournament. He believes that contributing to his team and helping them win games will boost his confidence and lead to match-winning performances.
Despite being known for his all-around skills, Madhevere is most expected to excel with the bat and is aiming to score his first century for Zimbabwe in the tournament. He hopes to contribute to his team’s victory with his exceptional batting skills.
Zimbabwe finished second in the Super League and dropped out of qualification spots. Their six victories from 24 matches included impressive wins over Australia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, but they eventually lost the series 2-1. They will host the World Cup qualifier and hope to secure one of the two qualifying spots available. A chance at the World Cup is a dream come true for many of the team’s players, and they are eager to make it a reality.
