Zimbabwe Coach Prepares for India's Aggressive Approach in T20 World Cup

Zimbabwe Coach Prepares for India's Aggressive Approach in T20 World Cup.webp

Mumbai, February 24 Zimbabwe head coach Justin Sammons expects India to come out all guns blazing in their Super Eight clash of the T20 World Cup on Thursday, but he believes his underdog team will be ready after learning from a heavy defeat against the West Indies here.

Zimbabwe were defeated by 107 runs by the Caribbean team, which posted the second-highest score in tournament history, 254/6, in their Super Eight match here on Monday.

Sammons is confident that India will also come at them hard in Chennai after losing to South Africa by 83 runs.

"We know how India will approach the game, and it will be similar to how the West Indies approached their innings. They (India) won't hold back," Sammons said after the match.

"We will learn from that and how we deal with the pressure in the moment, how we stay calm and think on our feet, and also try to disrupt the batsmen's rhythm," he added.

Acknowledging the mistakes made during the West Indies game, Sammons said his team, especially the bowling unit, was "predictable".

"...we can be a bit smarter in that regard. The Chennai ground will be a bit bigger, and it will probably be a bit easier to play there," he said.
