India, who now have six points from four games, will need to beat Zimbabwe in their last Super-12 match to clinch a last four place on November 6 (Sunday).
India inched a step closer to the T20 World Cup semifinals with an edge-of-the-seat five-run victory over Bangladesh in a rain-curtailed contest here on November 2 (Wednesday). The Men in Blue posted an imposing total of 184 for 6 courtesy Virat Kohli (64 not out off 44) and KL Rahul (50 off 32) vs Bangladesh.
Zimbabwe are also virtually out of the tournament after Wednesday’s loss. Netherlands beat Zimbabwe by five wickets for their first win of the ongoing T20 World Cup on November 2. Zimbabwe, who had a stunning win over Pakistan earlier in the tournament, next face tournament favourites India in their last match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on November 6 (Sunday).
