India were the favourites in this edition of the T20 World Cup, and especially against South Africa, they had never seen that coming. India hosted South Africa for a T20I series just months before the World Cup, which they won 3-1 and then played their only warm-up game against the Proteas before the start of the World Cup, which they comfortably won as well.
India are currently third on their group table, only above Zimbabwe. The West Indies and South Africa have a huge advantage with higher net run rates. This run-rate difference was worsened by the West Indies' commanding 107-run victory over Zimbabwe.
However, their chances would largely depend on the other teams and also the net run rate. If South Africa defeats West Indies and India beats Zimbabwe in today's clashes, this is their greatest win-win situation. However, if the West Indies beats South Africa and India beats Zimbabwe, then the situation gets tricky.

To keep itself in the competition, India will have to keep a check on the net run rate in the competition. The best way to have an advantage is to defeat Zimbabwe by a huge margin, which can bring their run-rate back into the positive integers.
Chennai will provide an overall good cricketing atmosphere with no chances of predicted rainfall on Thursday. On a coolish evening, the humidity factor could be a little higher, and the dew factor is very likely to come into play.
Indian side to undergo massive changes after the South Africa defeat
This indicates the two forming an opening pair for India, with Abhishek Sharma being rested for the overwhelming presence of off-spinners in the Zimbabwean side. However, it is also to be noted that Blessing Muzarabani and Brad Evans, the two quicks, have been their standout performers so far in this tournament.
