India and Zimbabwe will face off in the final Super 12 match at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. By the time this game commences, in all likelihood, one would have had an idea as to who will be the first three semifinalists. However, it would be the result of this game that would go on to decide the final entry into the semifinals and who would take on whom in the final four.
For India, the equation is pretty straightforward- win the match and enter the semis. While at least one team between Pakistan and Bangladesh would pray that India stumble at the final frontier, let's have a look at what are the statistical probability of that happening and the betting odds for this match.
1. Toss Prediction
Both the teams have won 3 out of 4 tosses in the Super 12 stage of the competition but Zimbabwe won their most recent toss. So, predicting Zimbabwe to win the toss.
2. Win Possibility
One would certainly have to go with India as the predicted winners of this match. Even though Zimbabwe stunned Pakistan earlier in the tournament, India would fancy their chances against them being the inaugural champions and in search of their maiden ICC trophy in 9 years. They are the number 1 ranked team in this format and Zimbabwe are the number 11 ranked side in T20Is.
3. Team of the Day
The Team of the Day is India. They started as among the favourites and should be able to seal a place in the semis with a win. India have won 5 out of 7 T20Is against Zimbabwe but have never met them in the T20 World Cup stage.
4. Predicted powerplay score and average first innings
158 is the average first innings score at the MCG in T20 World Cup 2022. The average powerplay score here in this tournament has been 39.75. So, the predicted powerplay score is expected to be in the range of 36-50.
