India vs Zimbabwe: ZIM's Predicted Playing XI Against IND – ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12, Group 2, Match 42

Zimbabwe take on India in the final Super 12 game of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Melbourne on Sunday, November 6. This is a must-win game for India while Zimbabwe have a slight chance of making it to the semis if they manage to beat India.

Zimbabwe have just won one game so far beating Pakistan. They have lost all their remaining games and now are up against India. They lost their previous match against the Netherlands by five wickets. Zimbabwe skipper Craig Ervine has said that the win against Pakistan has made them confident of taking on India as well.

“I think obviously with the win against Pakistan, it’s given us a huge amount of belief that we can beat any side in the tournament. I don’t think that will change going into tomorrow’s game. This is a great opportunity to bowl against some of the best guys in the world, so there’s no reason why guys would not want to actually get out there and produce the goods,” he said.

Meanwhile, in this article, we take a look at Zimbabwe’s predicted playing XI against India. Heading into their final game, they would like to make some tactical changes to their playing Xi if required.

Craig Ervine (C)

Ervine also missed out against South Africa and Pakistan and needs to play at his best against India to give his team a chance of winning the game.

Sean Williams

Williams slots in at number three. He is another senior batter on the side. Like the openers, he needs to score runs as well.

Sikandar Raza

Raza is the most in-form batter for his team at the moment. Apart from his batting skills, he is a handy off-spinner a swell. He will be the most important batter in the game against Pakistan. He has scored 185 runs in seven matches.

Wesley Madhevere

Madhevere scored just one against Pakistan opening the batting. He is flexible to bat at any number and should contribute substantially against India.

Milton Shumba

Shumba scored just two against Pakistan. He forms a key batter lower down the order and needs to come up with a good innings against India.

Ryan Burl

Burl slots in at seven and lengthen the Zimbabwean batting lineup. He did not get to bat against South Africa and scored just two against Pakistan. He would like to make an impact against India.

Luke Jongwe

Jongwe will be one of the four pacers in the lineup. He did not get his opportunity with the ball in the shortened game against South Africa. Against Pakistan, he scored just six with the bat and was expensive with the ball.

Tendai Chatara

Chatara went for 23 off his one over against South Africa as Quinton de Kock took him to the cleaners. Against Pakistan, he bowled an economical spell of none for 22

Richard Ngarava

Ngarava went for 17 off just one over against South Africa. He took two for 18 against Pakistan and would like to repeat his performance against India.

Blessing Muzarabani

Muzarabani will round up likely Zimbabwe playing XI in the game against Pakistan. He will be the fourth seamer in the lineup. He has picked up 11 wickets so far in this World cup.
