IND vs ZIM: Chasing a target of 188 runs against South Africa, the team was bowled out for just 111 runs. After this big loss, along with the players, coach Gautam Gambhir’s strategy has also started to be criticized.
The Indian team is under pressure after losing to South Africa by 76 runs in the first match of the Super Eight phase of the ongoing T-20 World Cup. Chasing the target of 188 runs, Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi was bowled out for just 111 runs. After this big loss, along with the players, coach Gautam Gambhir’s strategy has also started to be criticized.
But former Australia captain Michael Clarke still has faith in India. He said that although defeating the favorite team at home is a big achievement for South Africa, India is still the best T20 team in the world. According to him, the experience of playing in a familiar environment is India’s greatest strength. India will turn around in the competition.
Michael Clarke feels that captain Suryakumar Yadav’s team will be able to bounce back after this setback. He says that creating pressure is not bad, but it makes the team more focused. So, taking this loss as a lesson, there is a chance to perform well in the next matches. The Indian team also has that capability.
The World Cup-winning former Australia captain believes that India can easily get a big win against Zimbabwe in the next match. But the match against West Indies will be tough and that match could play a big role in deciding the second semi-finalist from the group. Because currently West Indies are in great form. There will be a close match.
Michael Clarke also said that if India does not make it to the final, it will be a big surprise. According to him, such a strong team should never be underestimated. So he believes, despite criticism and pressure, India will be able to turn around and eventually reach the final.
