T20 World Cup 2022 IND vs ZIM Preview: India vs Zimbabwe Playing XI, Melbourne weather forecast

A top spot in group 2 will be on Team India's mind as they get set to take on Zimbabwe in their last Group 2 of T20 World Cup 2022 in Melbourne on Sunday.

Zimbabwe might have been knocked out but they have proved in the tournament that India can't get complacent against them, as they can upset any team on their day.

India may possess a lethal fast-bowling unit but batting has been a little concerning. Skipper Rohit Sharma has just 1 score of over 50 in his last 10 T20I innings. However, KL Rahul has shown some promise since the last game after the 30-year-old scored his first half-century of the tournament against Bangladesh.

Virat Kohli back to his vintage best and Suryakumar Yadav in top touch makes a very solid middle order but lack of form by Dinesh Karthik makes him a doubtful starter in the playing XI. Rishabh Pant might be considered for the game vs Zimbabwe considering it is Team India's last game of the group stage.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

India has dominated Zimbabwe in the shortest format of the game and has won 5 of the 7 T20Is between the two sides. This will be the 1st time that the two teams lock horns in this format in almost 6 years.

MELBOURNE WEATHER FORECAST

Melbourne has already had its fair share of rain in the previous T20 World Cup fixtures. However, there is a 0 percent chance of rain on November 6 as the afternoon and evening are expected to remain free of showers. Conditions might remain cloudy.
