Pathan advices India to prioritise win over NRR against Zimbabwe

Following their 76-run battering to South Africa, their biggest in T20WC history, defending champions India are left at the mercy of South Africa, needing them to go unbeaten, besides winning their own two remaining clashes against Zimbabwe and the West Indies. In case this scenario does not pan out, net-run-rate will decide India's fortunes in the tournament. But with WI having their NRR in excess of +5 and SA having it in excess of +3, it would not be easy for India to topple either of these net-run-rates, as their net-run-rate lies in the negatives. Proteas not going unbeaten could very well spell the end of their campaign.

A win for the Proteas will not only strengthen their bid to become the second team to reach the semifinals after England but also keep the defending champions India alive in the competition.
