Zimbabwe vs West Indies T20 World Cup Prediction: Super Over Alert?

ICC Men’s T20 World Cup | Super 8 – Match No. 44 | Monday, Feb 23 (Night)

Zimbabwe is on a dream run!

The Chevrons knocked out Australia and moved into the Super 8’s without losing a game while doing so. With no pressure, they now head to the Wankhede Stadium for their next game against West Indies, who are the kings of flair and are also in the Super 8’s without losing in the tournament yet. 

As the sea breeze from the Mumbai coast kicks in, is a Caribbean storm about to brew, or will Zimbabwe’s fairytale run continue? 

The Ascendant Struggle:

As per the stars, it appears that Zimbabwe may be in for a tough start. The Ascendant in the Event chart is placed in the 8th house for Zimbabwe; this area is normally viewed as a “sinkhole” of energy, which is usually associated with sudden setbacks and/or unexpected obstacles. In order for Zimbabwe to achieve a major upset, they will have to perform beyond their normal level of play to avoid falling prey to this celestial trap.

The Lunar Mystery: The “Void” of Unpredictability. Expect the momentum to shift like the Mumbai tide!  The moon is positioned in the 9th house, but is also ‘Void of Course’ or status NA YUTO NA DRASTO. That means this match is going to be very unpredictable; just when you think West Indies will have a runaway winner, Zimbabwe may fight back. 

The Men In Maroon Have the Power 7th House The moon might be chaotic, but both the lord of the Ascendant (sun) and the lord of the 10th house are comfortably located in the 7th house showing that the men in maroon are dominant players who will be very visible on the field, and are more than capable of dealing with the pressure of putting on 100000 fans at Wankhede.

The West Indies Authority:

With the Moon in chaos, the structural planets are suggesting that the Men in Maroon will be favoured. Both the Lord of the Ascendant (the Sun) and the Lord of the 10th House are comfortably parked in the 7th House. This implies a dominant, visible, and capable side that can deal with the high-pressure atmosphere of the Wankhede Stadium.

The Zimbabwe Deficit: A “Combust” Finish?

A combust finish? The “red flags” for Zimbabwe are showing up in the way they finish. Not only is their 7th house Lord in the 8th, but their 4th house Lord (Mars) is combust in the 7th. This indicates that there may be a disintegration of bowling discipline during the death overs. Therefore, if Nicholas Pooran and/or Rovman Powell get their range going in the last five overs, the way Zimbabwe is aligned astrologically suggests they might be hard-pressed to stop the bleeding.

The Super Over Alert: A Deadlock in the Stars? The VOC Moon’s erratic nature, combined with Zimbabwe’s “nothing-to-lose” mindset, points out a strong likelihood of a tie in this game. So much so that the term “Tie/Super-Overs” labels this match. West Indies has the authority; however, there are just enough oddities in Zimbabwe’s astrology to force a deadlock.   

Key Players of Zimbabwe and West Indies for this match

• Upset Meter: 7 / 10 (Zimbabwe loves to rewrite the script as an underdog).
• Confidence Meter: West Indies: 6.5 / 10.
• Match Verdict: Even though the West Indies are favs, do not be shocked if this goes to the Super-Overs before the West Indies prevail..

GaneshaSpeaks Cosmic Tip:  Watch for the last three overs of the first innings to likely see a sudden fluctuation in last-minute scoring due to Mars combust for Zimbabwe, causing wickets to tumble quickly or a grand increase in scoring at the end of the innings.
