India has the upper hand against Zimbabwe

Out of these, the Indian team has won 10, whereas the Zimbabwe team has been successful in winning only 3 matches. Similarly, so far only one match has been played between the two teams in the T-20 World Cup, which was won by the Indian team. In such a situation, now Zimbabwe would like to register victory.
How will be the temperament of Chennai pitch?
The pitch at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium generally favors spinners. However, fast bowlers can take advantage of the surface in the first few overs. The wicket here is usually dry and hard, which gets worse as the match progresses. Batsmen can score big only if they set their sights. Big scores have not been seen here. In such a situation, teams will have to play with patience.
