T20 WC: Zimbabwe Have Done The Homework, Says Burl On India’s Struggles Against Spinners
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Zimbabwe batting all-rounder Ryan Burl said his side has prepared thoroughly for their Super Eights clash against India, to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday, adding that they are aware of India’s recent struggles against spinners in the competition.
Both India, the defending champions, and Zimbabwe will enter the crunch clash with an aim to emerge victorious and keep their slim semi-final hopes alive. India’s batting unit has found spin bowling difficult to negotiate in the tournament – losing 19 wickets to the tweakers with a run rate of 7.5 and an average of just 18.2, the lowest among the Super Eights sides.
The vulnerability has been most pronounced against off-spin in the powerplay, where India have lost four wickets to that type of bowling. With Zimbabwe having the likes of Burl, captain Sikandar Raza and Graeme Cremer handling the spin bowling department, the trio are primed to challenge the wobbly Indian batting order.
