Zimbabwe U19 made their way into the Super Six stage without any wins, thanks to one point shared with Scotland in a washed-out game. So far, they have been outplayed in all three departments, and now that they are facing the five-time champions in their opening Super Six game, they will need to go all out if they wish to secure their first win of the season. The match will be very important for the Zimbabwe side, as a loss against India will more than confirm their exit from the semifinal race.
