Meanwhile, with the win, India have now kept their title defense well and truly alive. The Indian side will now take on West Indies in their final Super 8 clash at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata on March 1. It will be a shootout between the two sides for a spot in the semi-final. In that game against West Indies, India would start favourites following a morale-boosting win over Zimbabwe. Again, India cannot take West Indies lightly as they have players who can hurt India's dreams. Interesting to see if India are going to make any changes to their XI or will they play the same side.
