Kolkata, After failing against South Africa, the Indian batting appeared to be in good form against Zimbabwe. However, the bowling left many questions unanswered in that match. The Indian batsmen are now back to their old form, but the bowlers have still not been able to perform effectively. Under such circumstances, India will have to improve their performance in this department in the Super Eight match against the West Indies, a similar to the T20 World Cup quarter-final, to be held here on Sunday.

West Indies' defeat to South Africa and India's victory over Zimbabwe have made this Super Eight match in Group A a do-or-die contest for both teams. Therefore, both teams will leave no stone unturned, and an exciting contest is expected at Eden Gardens. The winner of this match will advance to the second semi-final against England on March 5.

Indian batting performed brilliantly against Zimbabwe
India performed well in batting against Zimbabwe. Their batsmen have found their groove at the right time, and now it's the bowlers' turn. All six top-order batsmen, including Sanju Samson, who returned to the top order in the previous match, made useful contributions. Sanju scored only 24 runs, but he accelerated the run rate early, which had a positive impact on the other batsmen.

His aggressive approach boosted the morale of Abhishek Sharma, whose previous best score in this tournament was 15, which he made after being dismissed for zero in three consecutive matches. Abhishek made a brilliant comeback with a half-century, while Tilak Verma, batting with renewed intent in his new role at number six, scored 44 runs in 16 balls.

India posted the highest total, bowlers failed to make an impact
India scored 256 for four, their highest total of this T20 World Cup so far. But that doesn't mean they arrived at Eden Gardens without any worries. Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh bowled well against Zimbabwe. Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya have also performed well, but spin bowler Varun Chakravarthy doesn't seem to be in his old form.

This mysterious spinner hasn't been able to control his length properly. It seems he's experimenting too much. Chakravarthy's lack of performance cost India against South Africa. He conceded 47 runs in four overs in that match. India expected this spinner to take wickets in the middle overs, but he failed to deliver.
