ZIM vs IND Preview

• KL While Kohli and Surya continue to score frequently, Rahul has regained his form at the top.
• After their storied victory over Pakistan, Zimbabwe dropped two straight games.
• The Zimbabwean batters will face a formidable battle from Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya.

 

India will play Zimbabwe in the final Super 12 match on Sunday night at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Match 42 of the 2022 T20 World Cup. India might already be in the semi-finals when this game starts, but it’s more likely that they will need to win. Before the game even starts, Zimbabwe will know if they have a chance to advance. At 19:00 local time, the game starts in Melbourne.

Even though they lost to South Africa and were outplayed by Bangladesh in the most recent game, India has been good. We anticipate them to perform at their peak level while in Melbourne because a spot in the semi-final is on the line.

After defeating Pakistan, Zimbabwe boosted hopes, but they have since lost to Bangladesh and the Netherlands. Despite their talent, we do not believe they will be able to pose a threat to India in this encounter.

ZIM vs IND Weather Report

The likelihood of rain in Melbourne for this match is much lower after three consecutive games were abandoned. Throughout this game, the temperature should be between the low 20s and high teens.

Ireland defeated England by choosing to bat first, becoming the first side in six games at the MCG to triumph in an IT20. In the second innings, we anticipate that both sides will aim to chase a goal.

ZIM vs IND Pitch Report

We anticipate the wicket to be slower than most other surfaces because the pitch was covered for a significant portion of the tournament. A par score will not exceed 155.
