The T20I series between the two sides will be crucial in preparation for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup later this year. Zimbabwe recently handed their ticket to Australia by winning the T20 World Cup Qualifier B tournament and will be keen to test themselves in the shortest format against the best teams.
Bangladesh won the second leg of the tournament:-
While Zimbabwe will have to go through the first round to play in the Super 12, Bangladesh has already booked their place for the second leg of the tournament. The Tigers will also look to fix their squad ahead of the big tournament in October-November 2022.
India is currently in seventh place with 79 points from 12 matches. On the other hand, Zimbabwe is in 12th position with 35 points from 15 matches.
While it will be a tough effort, a 3-0 win over India will take their breath away from Australia, who are 8th in the standings and currently occupy the last qualifying spot.
