IND vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 For Match 42

IND vs ZIM: India will lock horns against Zimbabwe in Match 42 of the ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 on Sunday, November 6, 2022, at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.
India have done well in the ongoing T20 World Cup, winning three out of their four matches. They are currently placed at the top of the Group 2 points table with six points in their account. They thrashed Bangladesh by five runs in their most recent fixture and must be looking to extend their winning run in the tournament. A win in this game would help India secure a berth in the semi-final.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, have had a topsy-turvy season, winning one of their four matches, and losing two while their one fixture was abandoned due to the rain. They are currently placed at the fifth spot of the points table and are virtually out of the tournament. They lost their most recent fixture against the Netherlands by five wickets and would be looking to bounce back stronger in this game.
The Rohit Sharma-led India are the clear favourites ahead of the game and rightly so. With a strong batting lineup at their disposal and firepower in their bowling attack, India will fancy a win over Zimbabwe. However, the Craig Ervine-led side will be keen to return to winning ways. With two valuable points up for grabs, we should be in for a cracking game at Melbourne on Sunday.
