What happens if it rains in IND vs ZIM match? 

ICC has kept no reserve days for group matches if they are washed out. In case it rains in IND vs ZIM match, the two teams will share a point each. That means India will jump to 7 points and qualify for the semi-finals. That is because South Africa are on 5 points currently, a win against Netherlands takes them to 7. Pakistan, even if they beat Bangladesh, can make only 6 points. Bangladesh too can, at best, jump top 6 points. Hence, India will qualify if it rains in Melbourne on November 6 (Sunday). 

The weather apps say that it won't rain and India will be able to a full game. They would want to qualify only after beating Zimbabwe as it will give them more confidence and momentum heading into the semi-finals.
