Just four runs come off the over by Wellington Masakadza as India reach 107/4 in 15 overs.

Good comeback by Zimbabwe as India lost two wickets in quick succession.

While nine runs came off the 13th over, Zimbabwe have struck again. This time it's Rishabh Pant, who has to take the long walk back to the pavillion.

Sean Williams gets his second wicket, but it is Ryan Burl, who's effort made the difference. He covers a good distance and dives to complete a stunning catch, as Pant departs for 3. 

Hardik Pandya is batting alongside Suryakumar Yadav. IND: 103-4 (14 overs)   

KL Rahul brings up his half century in style. He hits Sikandar Raza for a six and departs in the very next ball. He is caught at long-on by Masakadza. He departs for 51(35). 

We are back after the break and Sikandar Raza starts with a six-run over. 

Sean Williams is introduced in the following over and he gets the big wicket of Virat Kohli. He departs for 26(25). 

Suryakumar is the new batter in and he starts off with a four.

Tendai Chatara bangs it short and KL Rahul gets on top of it and pulls it for a boundary. With that shot the pair also add a 50-plus stand for the second wicket. 

Eight runs come off the over as India reach 79/1 after 10 overs. KL is batting on 41(29), while Kohli is playing on 22(18).

Sikandar Raza comes into the attack and concedes just three runs in his first over. IND: 71/1 (9 overs)

Zimbabwe bring Ryan Burl into the attack and he is hit for a massive six by KL Rahul. The ball offers some flight and Rahul whacks it straight towards long-on for a maximum. He tries something similar in the following ball, but fails to clear the ropes by inches. The ball lands safely and bounces over the ropes for a four. 

14 runs come off the over as India reach 68/1 after 8 overs.

The boundaries keep coming as Virat Kohli hits a flighted ball by Masakadza for a boundary.

Blessing Muzarabani is introduced into the attack. Rohit starts the over with consecutive doubles, before the bowler bangs it short and wide. Extra runs conceded as wicketkeeper does a great job, holding to it.

Rohit then hits the bowler for a boundary before handing Masakadza a simple catch at deep backward square leg. He departs for 15(13).

Virat Kohli is the new batter in and the man in-form starts with a boundary. IND: 31/1 (4 overs)

Richard Ngarava starts with an exceptional over, with all six off them beating KL Rahul. IND: 0/0 (1 over)

Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul walk in to kick-off the proceedings. Rahul on strike, will face Richard Ngarava, who lead the Zimbabwe attack.

The players of both sides arrive in the center for the pre-match rituals. Action to start shortly.

Arshdeep Singh, who has been the bowler, providing India with early inroads will look to make an impact yet again. 

If we look into Zimbabwe's batting, the team have so far lost 20 wickets in the powerplay overs, which is the most for any team in this World Cup.

“Rishabh Pant plays instead of DK, he is the only guy who hasn't played a single game on this tour including the warm-up games, we wanted to give him a game.”

Zimbabwe: Wesley Madhevere, Craig Ervine(c), Regis Chakabva(w), Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Tony Munyonga, Ryan Burl, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani

India win toss, opt to bat.

Pakistan join India from Group 2 to enter the semifinal. They beat Bangladesh by five wickets in a must-win tie. Congratulations to Babar Azam and Co.

Meanwhile, a win here for Zimbabwe will ensure them a top-4 finish in the group, which will then give them an automatic berth for the next edition, which will be played in 2024.

We are minutes away from toss at MCG. 

Meanwhile, the second game between Bangladesh and Pakistan, is still underway and it is Babar Azam and his boys, who are in top at the moment. 

BAN: 127/8 (20 overs) | PAK: 121-3 (16.4 overs)

With the semifinal berth already in hand, Team India can look to try their bench strength. But given by coach's Rahul Dravid's statements earlier, a change in the winning combination is not very likely to happen. 

India have played four matches so far and have made only change in their XI, that too for one match, which they lost. 

Deepak Hooda was brought in for Axar Patel in the match against South Africa. However, Hooda failed to trouble the scorers and was dismissed for a zero. 

"We need to be as clinical as possible. We know no team is a brush-over, so... we can’t go in there and expect them to crumble." - R Ashwin ahead of Zimbabwe clash
