Here’s all you need to know about Rohit Sharma’s India vs Craig Ervine-led Zimbabwe T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Match No. 42 preview: Live stream, TV timing, squads.
Exactly two weeks after India opened their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 campaign against Pakistan in a thrilling four-wicket victory at a sold-out Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the Rohit Sharma-led side will be back at the iconic venue to seal their semifinal berth in the final Group 2 match of Super 12s against a lively Zimbabwe on Sunday (November 6).
Though India have a 5-2 edge over Zimbabwe in T20Is with their last face-off happening in 2016, it will be the first time that these two teams will be meeting in a T20 World Cup game. While India have survived scares against Pakistan and Bangladesh, they will be fully aware that Zimbabwe can`t be taken lightly. After all, the Chevrons, as Zimbabwe are called back home, did inflict an upset one-run win over Pakistan at Perth.
Known for going hard at power-play due to embracing ultra-attacking batting approach, India haven’t been able to get a solid opening partnership so far in the tournament. A look at their power-play scores suggests that the side have been suffering from opening blues: 31/3 against Pakistan (MCG), 32/1 against Netherlands (SCG), 33/2 against South Africa (Perth Stadium) and 37/1 against Bangladesh at Adelaide Oval. Their highest opening partnership is just 23, which doesn`t do justice to the prowess of Rohit and Rahul.
Though Rohit got a scratchy fifty against Netherlands and Rahul slammed a half-century against Bangladesh to end a string of low scores, India would like for the duo to have a good opening partnership before knockout arrive. Virat Kohli has been explosive with the bat while Suryakumar Yadav has chipped in whenever India needed a move on in their momentum. India would also want for Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik to make a sizeable contribution with lower-order power-hitting.
