Pitch Report:
Analysis
The Shubman Gill-led side had to fight back in the fourth T20I. The bowling struggled initially but gradually came together as a unit to restrict the Chevrons at 152. On the batting front, the openers continued their incredible form and finished the game without losing a single wicket. Now in the final game, Team India will look to continue this dominant form and conclude the series with a win.
After a great opening game, Zimbabwe hasn’t managed to get the better of this young Indian team. The Chevrons haven’t created pressure situations despite finding moments where they could have been on the top. Wesley Madhvere, Brian Bennett, Dion Myers and Sikandar Raza will be the side’s key batters. Looking at the Chevron bowling Richard Ngarava, Tendai Chatara and Blessing Muzarabani will be vital for the side.
