Bennett and skipper Sikandar Raza carried on with a partnership, with the young Bennett reaching his third fifty of the tournament in 34 balls, consisting of four boundaries and three sixes.

Zimbabwe reached the 100-run mark in 13.4 overs. In the 15th over, Bennett struck two fours and a six against Shivam Dube, getting 26 runs. Bennett and Raza completed a 50-run stand in 31 balls.

In the next over, Raza hit Varun for a four and a six, but he fell to Arshdeep Singh in the next over, caught at long-on for a 21-ball 31, with two fours and two sixes. Arshdeep also got all-rounder Ryan Burl trapped lbw in the same over, reducing Zimbabwe to 144/4 in 16.4 overs.

Tony Munyonga started his innings with two successive fours against the left-armer, bringing up Zimbabwe's 150-run mark in 17 overs.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered.
