The Indian team after a stunning performance in this men's T20 World Cup 2022 so far will be facing Zimbabwe in their final fixture of the Super 12 stage. India have won 3 out of 4 games they have played in the tournament. While they registered wins against Pakistan, Netherlands and Bangladesh, they faced a defeat against South Africa.
India have almost qualified for the semifinals of the tournament, but it will be interesting to see whether the Zimbabwe team would be able to pull off a miracle in the final league stage game of this marquee event.
Talking about India, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav's form has been the team's biggest positives. While Zimbabwe did manage to win a thrilling game against Pakistan by 1 run in a stunning manner and managed to grab 1 point due to an unexpected washout against South Africa, India would expect to finish as table toppers by beating the Zimbabwe side even as Zimbabwe look to finish this T20 World Cup on a high.
