Zimbabwe, with the 23-run victory over Australia in the T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, has now beaten the opposition on both occasions of their meeting. This victory has ensured that they would find themselves in the spot of being qualified for the Super 8 stage of the tournament, having already taken a massive boost of net run rate with the win over Oman.
In the last game, it was Brian Bennett who produced an excellent catch to dismiss the last batter of the Oman side. And now, it was the turn of Tony Munyonga, who grabbed a fine air-borne catch to dismiss the left-handed batter, Ben Dwarshuis, for six runs in seven balls.

It was a good length delivery angled towards the left-handed batter from Brad Evans as the southpaw cleared his front leg and slogged it over the mid-wicket region. Munyonga ran across to his left from the deep region, and the ball was always going away from the fielder. But he jumped at the right ball and claimed the catch to dismiss the left-handed batter.
