With the four teams out of four from the first round of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 having confirmed for the Super 12, it’s time to get suited for the next stage of the competition. Sri Lanka, Netherlands, Ireland and Zimbabwe progressed after some intense contests that took place across six days and produced a stunning result in two-time world champions West Indies being knocked out.
The battle is expected to get even tougher for these four qualifiers though with some of the biggest teams from the world of cricket awaiting them in the Super 12. Among the title favourites is Rohit Sharma-led India who are hoping to end their wait for an ICC trophy and lay their hands on the T20 world cup title they last won in 2007.
Since 2007, when MS Dhoni led them to the title, India have made it to the final just once. They faced Sri Lanka in the 2014 T20 World Cup but finished as the runners-up.
Last year was a forgettable campaign for the team as they exited in the Super 12 stage with defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand sealing their date.
This time around, India have been pooled in Group 2 alongside Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh, Netherlands and Zimbabwe.
Here’s a look at their full schedule including venues and match timings:
- October 23, Sunday: vs Pakistan (Match 16), Melbourne Cricket Ground – 1:30 PM IST
