Match Preview
After the completion of the series opener, India are set to clash with Zimbabwe in the second of the five-match T20I series on Sunday, July 7. The match will be played at the same venue, Harare Sports Club. India recorded a sensational win in the T20 World Cup 2024 after the team defeated South Africa in a last-over thriller in the grand final. The team is currently the number one ranked side in the format.
In the T20I series, India travelled without their senior players, under the leadership of Shubman Gill. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, are ranked 12 in the ICC rankings and will face a strong and confident Indian side.
Toss Prediction
Before the T20I series, India and Zimbabwe played eight T20I fixtures against each other. In their last five meetings, Zimbabwe skipper came out victorious in three of the tosses, whereas the Indian skipper managed to win two of the five tosses. Considering the head-to-head record, we think host captain Sikandar Raza would win the toss over Shubman Gill to further extend his toss-winning streak.
Win Possibility
The match between India and Zimbabwe, set to be played on July 7 will be the ninth meeting between both the sides. Before the onset of the series, the sides clashed in eight games, where India had an upper hand over their counterparts with six wins. On the other hand, the Men in Blue recently lifted the T20 World Cup after a long gap of 17 years, and needless to say, Shubman Gill and Co. headed into the series high on confidence.
The series promises high-octane cricketing drama to fans and cricket lovers across the globe, and the second game is not going to be any different. The visitors will depend on their batting force which includes promising and reliable stars like, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan and Jitesh Sharma.
Apart from the batters, names like Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi and Mukesh Kumar would aim to dismantle Zimbabwe’s batting. It goes without saying that the Indian team looks a perfect blend of youth and experienced players and are highly likely to dominate the game as well as the series.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe, will witness high-octane cricketing drama unfolding during the five-match series. The venue has hosted a total of 42 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 second game of the T20I series between India and Zimbabwe would be around 160-170, while the powerplay score is likely to hover around 40-50.
