🏏 ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026: Ind vs Zim 48th Match,26 Feb 🏏 - Page 3

South Africa chasing 177 in Ahmedabad

Half-time in the day match in Ahmedabad, and India will know that the Proteas need 177 to win against the Windies. That would put them through to the semifinals – and then if India manage to win against Zimbabwe later today, sets up the India vs WI game in Kolkata on Sunday as a virtual quarterfinal.

India's first match in Chennai this tournament

India head over to Chepauk for this match, having played their last two games in Ahmedabad and earlier games in the other venues across India and Sri Lanka. Chennai has seen a few games where it has proved to be a slightly better batting track than predicted, with runs on offer and a flatness that has allowed explosive batting. Could be India's best opportunity to get some rhythm into the batters at the top of the order.

A Windies win could mean it becomes a net run-rate race in the best-case for India. So we will keep half an eye on that match too – South Africa on top, but Romario Shepherd threatening late on.

Both teams are here after opening losses

India and Zimbabwe both suffered opening match losses in Group 1, losing to South Africa and West Indies, respectively. Both were heavy losses to boot – India's batting fell apart and left them chasing shadows, while Zimbabwe's bowlers were slaughtered as they conceded 254 against the Windies. This means this match is suddenly a crucial one to get off the foot of the table, and to fiz the net run-rate to boot.

Rinku Singh joined back......im sure his family would have told him not to miss the WC playing chance.
