Zimbabwe had to pay a heavy price for dropping the catch

Zimbabwe’s heavy defeat was also due to their poor fielding. West Indies batsman Shimron Hetmyer, who scored a fiery half-century, dropped two catches when we were on 9 and 70 runs.

These two easy catches by Hetmyer were hit by the same fielder, Musekiva, for a boundary.

Super 8 schedule

India’s final four equations

India’s chances of reaching the semi-finals are something like this: If India defeats both West Indies and Zimbabwe, it will have 4 points.

If South Africa wins all three matches, India and Africa will reach the semi-finals. If the African team loses to West Indies, then India, Africa, and West Indies can have 4 points each, and the decision will be made on net run rate.

If India wins one of the two matches, i.e., loses to Zimbabwe and defeats West Indies, then all three will have 2 points each. If Africa wins both matches, run rate will be important. Africa’s 2 defeats will increase our difficulties.
