ICC Trophy: In-form India can’t take Zimbabwe lightly
20.43 IST   13th Sept 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly said on Friday that his jet-lagged team would have to do really well to overcome Zimbabwe in their opening game of the ICC Champions Trophy tournament in Colombo on Saturday.

“They're a very good side, they are no push-overs, and we have to do pretty well,” Ganguly said at a press conference in Colombo.

The press conference was delayed by two hours to give travel-weary Indian players time to shake off their tiredness.

After Zimbabwe, India are slated to play England on September 22 in a tough pool.

India start favourites after a string of victories in England where they successfully chased a 325-run-target to lift the NatWest trophy.

Ganguly did not sound unduly worried about being in the only group where both matches would be tough for all sides. "We play as it comes. If you are looking to win the tournament, you have to beat the best teams," he said.
