Shubman won the toss and decided to field first. Coming to bowl in the second over, Bengal's Mukesh took the wicket on the first ball. Out by Innocent Kayake (nil). After that, Zimbabwe lost wickets continuously.

The Zimbabwean batsmen had a lot of trouble playing Ravi Bishnoi's ball. The leg spinner who did not get a chance in the World Cup team took 4 wickets with 13 runs. The lack of understanding between the Zimbabwean batsmen was also seen several times when it came to scoring small runs. Jonathan Campbell (not out) was run out.
