The group B game against Zimbabwe in the 2015 edition of the competition was supposed to be a routine win for India, but it got sticky for the then defending champions. Chasing Zimbabwe's 288, they found themselves at 92 for 4 in the 23rd over, but then Suresh Raina and captain MS Dhoni got together to string a partnership that saw India home in the 49th over.

Needless to say, the asking rate was not big enough since the openers had given India a quick start but the Raina-Dhoni pair ensured that there were no more hiccups. Raina made an unbeaten 110 (104 balls, 9 fours, 4 sixes) and Dhoni made 85 (76 balls, 8 fours 2 sixes), as India won the game comfortably in the end.
