Pitch Report:
Analysis
The Shubman Gill-led side got back to winning ways with a brilliant all-round performance in the second T20I. The batting despite Gill’s early dismissal, amended its earlier mistakes as the trio of Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh showcased their class to post a massive score. On the bowling front, Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi have been great as the frontline spinners while Avesh Khan and Mukesh Kumar have carried the pace bowling responsibility well.
After a great opening game, Zimbabwe were demolished by the young Indian team and failed to build pressure despite finding moments where they could have been on the top. The Zimbabwean batting will see Brian Bennett, Innocent Kaia, Milton Shumba and Sikandar Raza take up scoring responsibilities. Looking at the Chevron bowling, Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani will be the key players for the side.
