India vs Zimbabwe today: Weather report, toss timing, squads – All you need to know

T20 World Cup: India will face Zimbabwe in the last game of Super 12 today at Australia’s Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). If India wins, they will take the lead in Group 2. Team India has already qualified for the semifinals as South Africa, which was at the second spot with 5 points, has been knocked out of the T20 World Cup. 

South Africa lost to the Netherlands by 13 runs on Sunday. 

So even if India loses against Zimbabwe, the Men in Blue will still play in the semifinal.  

India have won three of their four games to date, and currently leading Group 2 of the Super 12 standings. With a victory today, the Men in Blue will advance to the semifinals.
