Zimbabwe all-rounder Ryan Burl accepted the enormity of facing India in their backyard, but hoped the pressure of playing a clutch T20 World Cup game in front of a vociferous home crowd could bog down Suryakumar Yadav's team here on Thursday.

The Group 1 Super Eights game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is a must-win affair for both India and Zimbabwe after their respective defeats against South Africa and the West Indies. "Yeah, it is a must-win match for us, but it's also a must-win game for India. There's obviously a lot at stake here, being a World Cup game and if we are to progress to the semifinals, we both want to look at winning tomorrow's game," Burl said in the pre-match press conference.
