- Twenty20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Stages will feature a matchup between India and Zimbabwe
- The Men in Blue are coming off of a thrilling victory against Bangladesh
- Zimbabwe still has a remote possibility of advancing to the next round if they are successful in their match against India
The concluding match of the Twenty20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Stages will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), and will feature a matchup between India and Zimbabwe. The Men in Blue are coming off of a thrilling victory against Bangladesh, and the close match undoubtedly would have brought a lot of comfort, as a victory today against Zimbabwe will be enough for India to make it to the semi-finals of the competition.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe still has a remote possibility of advancing to the next round if they are successful in their match against India and if the other games in the group go in their favor. The team captained by Craig Ervine got off to a wonderful start in the Super 12 tournament by claiming victory over Pakistan, and they came very close to claiming victory over Bangladesh as well. Despite this, they have already suffered two defeats in a row, which will make it difficult for them to advance to the knockout stages.
Pitch Conditions
The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is one of the world’s largest stadiums, so getting beyond the boundary lines is not going to be an easy task. It will be essential for the hitters to run the twos and threes, and the location is ideal for batting thanks to the favourable conditions. If the captain of the batting team wins the toss, the other team will get the opportunity to bowl first and try to reduce their score.
