Blessing Muzarabani beats Jatinder Singh’s stumps in T20 World Cup 2026.
The decisive moment of the Powerplay came in the first ball of the second over. Facing a modest stability target, the Oman captain Jatinder Singh was trying to build on a stable beginning. But Muzarabani had other plans. Steaming with his trademark high-arm release, the Zimbabwean quick has produced a delivery that is sure to feature in the highlights of the tournament.
Muzarabani opted for a longer length by turning the ball into the probing zone. The delivery is sharply back off the seam and goes through the narrow gap between Jatinder’s bat and pad. The Omani captain, who had two brains and played slightly late off the front foot, could only look back in despair as the ball smashed the wood. Seeing the middle stump drift away heralded a disastrous start for the Associate nation. Jatinder departed for 5 (5 balls) and rocked his side at 7/1, setting the tone for a brutal opening spell.
