Not just netizens, but the IPL franchise Punjab Kings, also shared a meme.

For the unversed, should India defeat Zimbabwe in Chennai, they will level with West Indies on two points. While WI's net run rate is higher, India do not have to worry. With South Africa's win in Ahmedabad, the IND vs WI game in Kolkata becomes a winner-takes-all clash. That is if India beat Zimbabwe in Chennai.

If India win both their games against West Indies and Zimbabwe, they will qualify as the second placed team in Group 1. That will ensure their semi-final clash at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on March 5.
