    The Men in Blue come into the competition, defeating Bangladesh in a close encounter.

    Zimbabwe, on the other hand, beat Pakistan by one run, but that was the only bright spot in the tournament for Zimbabwe. The Dutch team easily defeated them in their previous match. Zimbabwe will try to ruin the fun for the Men in Blue in the upcoming game.

    India's players to watch

    1. Virat Kohli- Virat Kohli, the number three batter is the only player to have gone past 50 in three innings in this tournament. He hit 82 not out at the MCG earlier in the competition.

    2. Arshdeep Singh- Arshdeep Singh, the left-arm pace bowler, took two more wickets in the last match and recorded his best bowling figures in the tournament, with 3-32 at the MCG against Pakistan.

    Zimbabwe's players to watch

    1. Sean Williams- Sean Williams is a 36-year-old who has hit 31 in Perth, 64 in Brisbane, and 28 in Adelaide across his last three innings. It will be okay if he adds another valuable contribution to the MCG.

    2. Blessing Muzarabani- Blessing Muzarabani, the fast bowler, has taken wickets at every venue he has played at during the tournament. This will be his first appearance at the MCG in the competition, but his pace will still be a threat.

    Match Prediction

    India is predicted to win today’s match as India leads 5-2 in head to head in T20, and players like Virat Kohli & Suryakumar Yadav are in brilliant form to dominate the Zimbabwe attack.
