Team India (IND) is all set to face Zimbabwe (ZIM) for the second T20I game of the five matches of the series on July 7 in Harare. The Men in Blue are T20 World Cup winners, and the number-one ranked ICC team in the format. Notably, a plethora of senior players have been rested in the series, which has allowed the youngsters to make a mark at the grandest stage.

Intrestingly, who from the cricketing fraternity would have thought that the first match would be a low-scoring thriller? But it ended like this, and the hosts went on to pull off one of their best wins, just by 13 runs. Following the win, the home team took a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20I series.

Meanwhile, the second game is also set to take place at the same venue and will be played on Sunday. The Zimbabwe squad will be feeling confident, and they will be looking to continue their dominating momentum in the series. On the other hand, the Shubman Gill-led young side will look to show better batting performance to level up the series, as the first match was an eye-opener for them.

Pitch Report

While the playing surface at the Harare Sports Club was initially considered batting-friendly, the first T20I of the series played here turned out to be a low-scoring affair. Spinners dictated terms during the middle overs from both nations, and the trend will be expected to continue for the all-important second T20I match.

Player Picks

9
C

Sikandar Raza ZIM | ALL

The Zimbabwe captain was on fire in the first T20I against India, where he walked away as the player of the match for his figures of 3/25, which handed his side a famous 13-run victory. Safe to say, his all-round skills will be key in ensuring that Zimbabwe double their lead.

8.5
C

Rinku Singh IND | BAT

Rinku Singh is the HOT PICK for India. Rinku has had a great start to his T20I career and is the finisher for India in the death overs. He has a strike rate of 176.2 in 11 innings for the country.

8
C

Ravi Bishnoi IND | BOWL

The leg-spinner put the brakes on the Zimbabwe batters with an epic spell of 4/13 in the first T20I, which included a couple of maidens as well. Bishnoi missed the bus to the T20 World Cup 2024, but he has been in top form whenever he has played for India.

7.5

Washington Sundar IND | ALL

He did his chances no harm, having finished with 2/11 and with the bat, he slammed 27 down the order and gave India hope of overcoming Zimbabwe in the first game in Harare.

9

Riyan Parag IND | BAT

Riyan Parag was in red-hot form in IPL 2024 and will look to cement his place in the middle-order for India in T20I cricket.

7

Luke Jongwe ZIM | BOWL

Luke Jongwe is a bowling all-rounder whose propensity to pick wickets stands out in T20I cricket. Jongwe has a bowling strike rate of 14.9 in the format.

8

Blessing Muzarabani ZIM | BOWL

Blessing Muzarabani is an exciting right-arm fast bowler who has bagged 60 wickets in 50 outings for Zimbabwe at a strike rate of 18.3 and economy of 7.35.

Milton Shumba

ZIM | BAT

The star player seems inconsistent in the T20Is and one can ignored him fully.

7.5

Harshit Rana

IND | BOWL

It seems that Rana won't get the place in the startling XI this time.
