The second T20I between India (IND) and Zimbabwe (ZIM) will be played on July 7 at the Harare Sports Club. The young team is hungry to impress and prove their worth on the international arena, especially after suffering a humiliating defeat in the series opener.

India lost by 13 runs in the previous game at the same location, failing to chase down the hosts’ relatively easy target of 116 runs. A comeback will be critical for the Men in Blue, while the African nation will be thrilled to keep their winning streak going.

Zimbabwe will rely on their pace bowling department, with Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, and Richard Ngarava all expected to perform for the hosts in the forthcoming match. Tendai Chatara will also be one to keep an eye on. Shubman Gill, who scored 31 runs in the first game, will need to instill more confidence in the batting unit, while Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma will need to add to their knowledge with the conditions following poor debut outings.
