Match Preview
The India tour of Zimbabwe has reached its fourth T20I and the series has been thrilling so far. The first game saw the hosts ambushing the South Asian giants. However, true to their nature and spirit, the mighty Men in Blue, came roaring back and went on to register back-to-back wins. Shubman Gill and Co. clinched two wins and are now leading the series 2-1. With the visitors having a lead, the fourth encounter is going series to be a do-or-die fixture for the home team.
Sikandar Raza and Co. can either lose the game and bid adieu to their series hopes, or they can win the game and level the series, forcing the decider, adding thrill and spice to the game.
Toss Prediction
Zimbabwe have hosted their counterparts in three games on this tour, at the Harare Sports Club. If we have a look at the toss tally in the ongoing series, visiting captain Shubman Gill had all the toss outcomes in his favour. Hence, Sikandar Raza trails the toss tally 0-3. Considering this and the fact that the series is approaching its end, we think home captain would finally have luck on his side and he will win toss in the upcoming game.
Win Possibility
With India leading the series 2-1, the forthcoming game comes as a do-or-die opportunity for the Sikandar Raza-led side. The situation is pretty simple; if Zimbabwe lose the game, they would lose their series hopes. However, the series would take a whole new turn if they win the game and force a decider. In both cases, the spectators will be served intense cricketing action.
If the hosts aim for a spicier finale of the series, they will need to work on all three departments, especially the fielding. As Raza pointed out, their fielding game needs a complete overhaul, considering it was a dismal performance in the previous game.
On the other hand, the visitors came up with a solid batting performance and have looked more dangerous with each passing game. Adding to their power have been bowling cameos of names like Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Avesh Khan and more. However, the only name that hasn’t been introduced yet is Tushar Deshpande, and we might see the Indian squad trying him out.
No doubt, the Chevrons would aim to deliver their best game, but considering the form and tactics of the Indians, the visitors are highly likely to win the game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe, will witness high-octane cricketing drama unfold during the ongoing series. The venue has hosted a total of 44 matches in the format thus far, and has an average first-inning score around 156. Considering this, we think the first inning score in the fourth game of the T20I series between Zimbabwe and India would be around 160-165, while the powerplay score is likely to hover around 40-50.
