Krishnamachari Srikkanth Warned Team India: The match between India and Zimbabwe in the Super-8 of ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will be held today i.e. on 26th February. This match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This match is going to be do or die for both the teams. To reach the semi-finals of T20 World Cup 2026, both the teams will not only have to win, but will also have to win with a better net run rate, because both the teams are coming after losing their first Super-8 match by a big margin. Team India would like to defeat Zimbabwe by a big margin at any cost, because everything for Team India is at stake.
In this tournament, India will also face West Indies on March 1. The Caribbean team is in excellent form, but former Indian legend Krishnammachari Srikkanth has given a big statement before the match against Zimbabwe.
Krishnammachari Srikanth gave a big statement
Krishnammachari Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel, ‘West Indies is currently one step ahead of India after defeating Zimbabwe. Everything has now stopped for Team India after the match between South Africa and West Indies. Zimbabwe will be a bigger threat to India than West Indies on the Chennai pitch.
Let us tell you, Zimbabwe is in good form throughout the tournament. They created a big upset by defeating Australia and Sri Lanka in the group stage. They had their first defeat of this T20 World Cup against West Indies, in which West Indies defeated them by a huge margin of 107 runs.
India is considered favorite against Zimbabwe
India is the favorite to win the match against Zimbabwe. There is no repeating in this, but Zimbabwe can definitely surprise India on the wicket of Chennai. Team India will also have to keep in mind that they will have to win against Zimbabwe by a big margin. Let us tell you that South Africa had defeated India by a huge margin of 76 runs in the first Super-8 match. After this big defeat, the net run rate of Team India has deteriorated significantly, which India would like to correct against Zimbabwe.
