The luck of the toss did not favor the Indian team in the important match. After winning the toss, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raja decided to bowl first to Chip. Sikander Raja decided to bowl on a fresh wicket so that the pacers could have some advantage and the batters could have the benefit of the dew later. However, despite losing the toss, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav got what he wanted. There have been two changes in the Indian team’s playing XI. Sanju Samson replaces Rinku Singh and Akshar Patel replaces Washington Sundar.

India’s probable XI against Zimbabwe at a glance: Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Varun Chakraborty, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.

A glimpse of Zimbabwe’s likely XI against India: Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wicketkeeper), Dion Myers, Ryan Burl, Sikandar Raja (captain), Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Brad Evans, Tinotenda Maposa, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Mujarabani.

Incidentally, both the teams lost their first match in the Super Eight by a big margin. India suffered a humiliating loss against South Africa. Zimbabwe lost against West Indies. As a result, the match of the day is do or die for both teams. However, Team India will start much ahead of Zimbabwe at home.
