ICC Men's T20 World Cup action continues as India prepare to take on the Zimbabwe national cricket team in Match No. 48 of the Super Eight (Group A) on February 26 at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The Men in Blue began their Super Eight campaign on a disappointing note, suffering a comprehensive 76-run defeat against South Africa national cricket team. The loss was largely driven by a brilliant half-century from David Miller and an impressive four-wicket spell by Marco Jansen, which exposed India’s shortcomings with both bat and ball. With their tournament hopes hanging in the balance, India will be determined to stage a strong comeback.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, also endured a tough start in the Super Eight phase, going down by 107 runs to the West Indies cricket team. After exceeding expectations earlier in the competition, the African side now faces a formidable challenge against the host nation.
All 14 available players took part in the training session for India, with only Rinku Singh missing after returning home because of a family emergency. The atmosphere was sharp and purposeful. Even as discussions around semi-final qualification scenarios continued outside the camp, India’s focus at Chepauk remained strictly professional, fine-tuning match-ups and exploring backup options in case Rinku is unavailable for Thursday’s clash.
