India vs Zimbabwe, T20 World Cup 2022 Match 42, Live Score Updates: IND take on ZIM in crucial match at MCG.
India will take on Zimbabwe in the final league game of the T20 World Cup 2022. Given their recent form, India is considered the favorite to win the match and end up as Group 2 table toppers.
The rain came in handy for them as they defeated Bangladesh by 5 runs (D/L method) in their last match. KL Rahul returned to form with an entertaining half-century, and his outstanding throw to eliminate Liton Das was the game's turning point.
Virat Kohli's ICC tournament streak continues, with the former captain averaging 220 in this T20 World Cup. They must win this match in order to advance to the semi-finals.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, has struggled against small teams, losing their previous two matches by 5 wickets and 3 runs to the Netherlands and Bangladesh, respectively.
They performed a miracle by defeating Pakistan by one run last week, but they struggled to replicate similar performances in the subsequent games. Throughout the tournament, Sikandar Raza and Blessing Muzarabani have been outstanding for them. They need to win here to avoid finishing at the bottom of Group 2.

Rahul, out Caught by W Masakadza!! Fifty and OUT once again for KL. Back-to-back dismissals after getting to his half-century.
IND 98/3 (13)
Rishabh Pant* 2 (3)
Suryakumar Yadav* 3 (2)
Virat Kohli c Ryan Burl b Williams 26 (25)
KL Rahul c Masakadza b Raza 51 (35)
Rohit Sharma c Masakadza b Muzarabani 15 (13)
Dinesh Karthik has played all he games for the Indian team so far in the World Cup 2022 but he has not made any impact as what was expected of him. With Indian team already qualified for the semi-finals, Will Rishabh Pant finally get a game to showcase his skills?
We'll have to wait for that and see what skipper Rohit Sharma decides.
The match between Pakistan and Bangladesh got underway meanwhile. The winner of this virtual quarterfinal tie will join India in the semifinals. Pakistan had managed to remove the dangerous Litton Das, whereas Bangladesh had scored 49 runs in seven overs.
BAN 49-1
Meanwhile, after India's semifinal place was confirmed, and Pakistan fighting it out against Bangladesh, fans were already anticipating an India-Pakistan final.

India have now automatically qualified for the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-finals after Netherlands pulled of a stunning win against South Africa, knocking the Proteas out of the tournament. India now enter safely into the final four with six points. The winner of the Pakistan vs Bangladesh will take South Africa's spot in the semis now. South Africa were unbeated a couple of days ago. What a T20 World Cup we are having!
Team India defeated Zimbabwe comfortably when the two teams faced off in Zimbabwe earlier in 2022, registering a 3-0 clean sweep, in the ODI series. However, it was a much-changed Indian side, led by Shikhar Dhawan. Can Rohit Sharma and Co replicate that result?
Meanwhile, in their chase of 159, South Africa have already lost two wickets, with Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma departed. Are we about to witness yet another giant-killing?
RSA 44/2 (7)
South Africa need 115 runs in 78 balls
With South Africa fighting it out currently against the Netherlands, and Pakistan in action up next, here's a look at whether Babar Azam's can still make it to the semifinals.
South Africa have restricted the Netherlands to a total of 158 runs, a good finish from the Dutch side after the Proteas had them in a spot of bother. So Temba Bavuma's side needs 159 runs to reach the semifinals, or else they will be out of the World Cup if Pakistan wins against Bangladesh.
From Team India's predicted playing XI, to how to watch the match between India and Zimbabwe live, we have got you covered. Take a look:
The match between South Africa and Netherlands is already underway and after a blistering start from the Dutch side, South Africa have made a good comeback in the match. Scott Edwards' side have scored NED 113/3 (16) in a clash which is a do-or-die match for the Proteas.
It's all to play for today as South Africa are fighting it out against the Netherlands, whereas Pakistan will lock horns against Bangladesh hoping to stay alive, and Team India will be in action later in the day against Zimbabwe hoping to reach the semis after missing out last year.
Good morning everyone, after an intense couple of week which saw 12 teams fight hammer and tongs for the four semifinal spots, we're finally on the last day of Super 12 stage. England and New Zealand have reached the semis from Group 1, while Group 2's fate will be decided today.
Three terrific batters have been nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for October 2022.
