After two weeks of criss-crossing the breadth of Australia, India are back where it all started for them at the T20 World Cup. It might feel as if the last-ball miracle against Pakistan at the MCG transpired a lifetime ago, so much has since been packed in in so little a time. India have one final hurdle to overcome in their quest to make the knockout semi-finals, against Zimbabwe on Sunday evening.
Perched on top of the Group 2 Super 12 standings, India’s fate rests in their own hands. A simple—mathematically, that is—win will do quite nicely for Rohit Sharma and his men, who will be assured of helming their pool in that eventuality. Zimbabwe, out of the running, will try to make things as difficult as possible for one of the pre-tournament favourites, but all other things being equal, India’s depth and quality should carry the night.
