Player of the Match

Sikandar Raza | Zimbabwe

Stats: 82 runs off 48 balls | 3 overs – 22 runs – 1 wicket – ECO: 7.30

When we were 37/3, the only thing I told Shaun was that we needed to push the team as far as we could. My sole focus was on batting and avoiding letting emotions get the best of me. I attempted to time the ball correctly and then take it from there. However, as the wicket became harder or I became tired, my second phase of the innings deteriorated. I was adjusting my position in the crease to find the best area to pull, cut, and hook.

There is no secret; the key is to channel all emotions associated with success and failure in the proper manner and compete with the finest in the world to represent Zimbabweans and place our flags among the best. I’m in pain, and my body is disintegrating; perhaps, I’ll be able to fix it. It was a fantastic wake-up call for me to stay active since I discovered I was a bit ill-disciplined when it came to water, especially in the cold weather.
