πICC Men'sT20I WC 2022- India vs Zimbabwe, M-42, Super 12 Group 2π
India will take on Zimbabwe in the final league game of the T20 World Cup 2022. Given their recent form, India is considered the favorite to win the match and end up as Group 2 table toppers.
The rain came in handy for them as they defeated Bangladesh by 5 runs (D/L method) in their last match. KL Rahul returned to form with an entertaining half-century, and his outstanding throw to eliminate Liton Das was the game's turning point.
Virat Kohli's ICC tournament streak continues, with the former captain averaging 220 in this T20 World Cup. They must win this match in order to advance to the semi-finals.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, has struggled against small teams, losing their previous two matches by 5 wickets and 3 runs to the Netherlands and Bangladesh, respectively.
They performed a miracle by defeating Pakistan by one run last week, but they struggled to replicate similar performances in the subsequent games.
Throughout the tournament, Sikandar Raza and Blessing Muzarabani have been outstanding for them. They need to win here to avoid finishing at the bottom of Group 2.
Beating the spirited Team India will be a daunting task for them!
But T20 cricket doesn't conform to reputation, especially not one played in the off-season in Australia. Qualifying out of the group, therefore, is a slightly more realistic minimum expectation.
They return to the MCG, a win over Zimbabwe away from meeting it.
This is the last match of the Group 12 matches.
