They muscled their way past the Zimbabwean challenge in the must-win Super Eight game here on Thursday, registering a 72-run win.

Sanju Samson and Axar Patel were the two changes in the Indian team, replacing Rinku Singh and Washington Sundar. When Surya was dismissed in the 15th over, the team score was 172/4.
