Tanzania did not mess about. Ivan Selemani and Ajith Augastin came out swinging from ball one, and Saint Helena's bowling never recovered. Selemani carved 63 off 30 deliveries — strike rate of 210 — while Augastin matched him with 63 off 36. The pair added 126 inside the powerplay alone, setting a platform so steep that Saint Helena's bowlers looked helpless by the time the field spread.
By the time Saint Helena walked in to chase 236, the match was already decided. They managed just 55 runs off 12 overs before pulling stumps — a surrender, really. Jordi Henry fought with 23 off 19, and Jamie Essex showed some resistance with 16, but neither found support. Joey Thomas claimed 2 for 44 for Tanzania, doing just enough in the middle overs to keep Saint Helena in a stranglehold.
This was not a contest. Tanzania's aggressive approach in the first six overs set the tone entirely. Saint Helena never had the firepower to keep up, and once the asking rate climbed beyond 20 an over, the chase crumbled. A dominant performance that sends Tanzania through with a statement: they belong in the next round.
