MATCH: Zimbabwe vs India
DATE: 10 July 2024
TIME: 4:30 pm IST
VENUE: Harare Sports Club, Harare
TOURNAMENT: 3rd T20 2024

After an embarrassing defeat in the first T20I of the series, India (IND) stunned Zimbabwe (ZIM) in the second one, beating them by 100 runs. Young opener Abhishek Sharma stole the show with his quick century while Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh reigned supreme as well. Gaikwad made 77* runs while Rinku made 48* runs and courtesy of their knocks, India posted 234 runs in the second T20I.

They would hope to continue with the same momentum in the third T20I. Yashasvi Jaiswal might have to wait to break into the squad but Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube are expected to replace Dhruv Jurel and Sai Sudharsan respectively. Among bowlers, Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan were sensational and overall, India would be happy with their position at the moment.

When it comes to Zimbabwe, they have a lot of room for improvement. A lot of their success depends on skipper Sikandar Raza and that needs to change. The bowling unit looks sorted despite leaking plenty of runs in the last match. They have the quality to bounce back and would hope to do the same as the first T20I.

Probable Top Performers of the match:

Abhishek Sharma was phenomenal in the second T20I. Despite being under pressure, the 23-year-old played an aggressive brand of cricket, scoring 100 runs off 47 balls. He would hope to continue with the same form to cement his place in India’s senior men’s squad that’s scheduled to travel to Sri Lanka later in the month.

After a terrific IPL, Avesh Khan was named as one of the reserves for India during the T20 World Cup. After that, he joined India in the series against Zimbabwe and impressed everyone with four wickets in two matches.
