In a high-stakes clash, Zimbabwe's all-rounder Ryan Burl has acknowledged the challenge his team faces as they prepare to take on India in a crucial T20 World Cup match. The showdown at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is a do-or-die situation for both teams, who are on the back foot after defeats to South Africa and the West Indies.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Burl emphasized the magnitude of the game. "Obviously, we don't get to play India a lot, so it's something that we really have been looking forward to," he stated. Zimbabwe aims to utilize their varied bowling attack to apply pressure on the home team's explosive batting lineup.

Despite a previous setback against the West Indies, Zimbabwe remains optimistic. Burl pointed out that India, too, had its off day against South Africa, making both teams eager to rebound. On the injury front, skipper Sikandar Raza is confirmed fit to play, boosting Zimbabwe's morale ahead of the pivotal match.
