What does the T20 World Cup have to do with a folktale from Zimbabwe? Find out in this video!
In 1983, Zimbabwe faced India in the Cricket World Cup when India won, thanks to Kapil Dev’s iconic 175*. However, the match was never televised because the BBC, the sole broadcaster for the World Cup, went on strike.

Four matches were scheduled that day. And based on their past performance, the India vs Zimbabwe match was deemed the least significant. The two matches that did get televised were...
Australia vs West Indies, and England vs Pakistan.

Over 40 years later, in the T20 World Cup 2026, at a match streamed online and watched by millions across the world, Zimbabwe knocked out Australia from the tournament.

In honour of the Zimbabwean team's underdog spirit, this is a folktale that talks of the tortoise's cleverness and the true meaning of strength.
