India and Zimbabwe will square-off against each other at the MCG for the final game of the T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 Stages. The Men in Blue are coming off a thrilling victory against Bangladesh and the close encounter certainly would have brought a lot of relief as a victory now against Zimbabwe will be enough to make it to the semi-finals for India.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe have an outside chance of qualifying still if they can beat India and hope for the other results in the group to go their way. The Craig Ervine-led side started their Super 12 campaign in a fantastic manner by winning against Pakistan and were close to a victory against Bangladesh. However, their two consecutive losses haven't helped their progression to the knockout stages.

Probable Top Performers from IND vs ZIM
Probable best batter: Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has been in the form of his life with the bat and he is second on the list of leading run-scorers in the tournament so far. With three fifties in four games, Kohli has been dismissed just once in the campaign and he has enjoyed the conditions in Australia. The right-hander will be looking to head into the knockout stages with another match-winning innings against Zimbabwe.
Probable best bowler: Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh has been India's best bowler in this tournament without any doubt and he has nailed the responsibility of bowling the tough overs. The left-arm seamer has been swinging the new ball both ways up front and has stepped in whenever the team needed him. With nine wickets in four games, Arshdeep will be looking to add few more to his column.
