Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza described their Super 8 qualification as merely a 'tick in the box' and an underdog story following a rain-abandoned match against Ireland.

Despite reaching the next stage, Raza emphasized the long journey from sub-regional qualifiers to the main event. Zimbabwe now faces a tough group including India, South Africa, and the West Indies, with a final group match against co-hosts Sri Lanka coming up.
