Actually, there has been a big improvement in India’s net run rate after the 72-run win against Zimbabwe, but it is still worse than West Indies. West Indies had registered a big 107-run win over Zimbabwe, after which they had to face defeat against South Africa. Still, its net run rate is +1.791, while India’s net run rate is currently -0.100. If India had registered a bigger win against Zimbabwe, its net run rate could have been better. This net run rate may prove to be decisive in the end and India’s problems may also increase.

Captain Surya’s decision worked poorly

India had given Zimbabwe a target of 257 runs, which was very difficult to achieve and India’s victory was considered almost certain. In such a situation, captain Surya Kumar Yadav did a big experiment, which became a major reason in reducing the margin of victory. The decision was to get Shivam Dubey to bowl. Dubey bowled only two overs against Zimbabwe and took one wicket, but gave away 46 runs. However, Pandya and Bumrah had one over each left and both bowled well.
