Zimbabwe held the record for the highest team total in the format when it scored 344 runs against Gambia in October this year.
The last season’s runner-up was led by batter Bhanu Pania who remained unbeaten on 134 off just 51 deliveries. Abhimanyu Singh, Vishnu Solanki and Shivalik Sharma also struck half-centuries.
India all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who played during the earlier rounds in the tournament, was not named in the starting lineup.
