T20 World Cup 2022: India to face Zimbabwe in MCG

Guwahati: India will take on Zimbabwe with the aim of securing their T20 World Cup semi-final spot at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, November 6.

India currently lead the Group 2 table with six points from four matches, whereas Zimbabwe sit in fifth position with three points from four matches.

A shock defeat for South Africa against Netherlands earlier on Sunday has ensured that India will not face a must-win game against Zimbabwe to qualify for the semi-finals.

Rohit Sharma’s men are already through the final four as a result of South Africa’s exit, and victory against Zimbabwe will seal their place at the top of Group 2 and set-up a semi-final showdown against England in Adelaide on November 10.

While India has three wins in four games, it hasn’t been a smooth ride. In their opening match against Pakistan, they needed a Virat Kohli masterclass to give them a memorable, come-from-behind victory.

In India, Star Sports will serve as the T20 World Cup’s official broadcaster in 2022. It will broadcast live coverage of the IND vs ZIM game. Fans who have subscriptions to Disney+ Hotstar will be able to watch the matches live there. The toss will happen at 1 PM while the match will start at 1:30 PM.
