On Sunday, November 6, Team India will face Zimbabwe in their final group-stage match in the T20 World Cup 2022. The Men in Blue arrive at the competition after narrowly defeating Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe was humiliated by the Netherlands in their most recent match. If India win the game they would qualify as the group toppers.

If India loses, Pakistan has a chance to advance to the next stage of the tournament if they defeat Bangladesh at the Adelaide Oval. Pakistan is third in Group 2 with four points after four games. However, Pakistan has a higher net run rate of +1.117. India has an NRR of +0.730.
