India vs Zimbabwe Live Streaming: How To Watch IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I On TV And Online?
An inexperienced Zimbabwe beat an Indian team brimming with an array of Next-Gen stars by 13 runs in the first T20I match of the five-match series in Harare.
The second T20I of the five-match series between India and Zimbabwe will be played at the Harare Sports Club on Sunday. The IND vs ZIM game is scheduled to start at 4:30 pm IST.
An inexperienced yet spirited Zimbabwe pulled off an upset of massive proportions when they stunned an Indian team brimming with an array of Next-Gen stars by 13 runs in the first T20I on Saturday.
India, who were recently crowned champions in the T20 World Cup 2024 albeit with a different set of players, were expected to trot past an unfancied Zimbabwe and the script followed that line when the hosts were restricted to 115 for nine.
But from there, Zimbabwe wrote their own narrative, reducing India to 28 for four in the power play and then eventually bowled them out for 102 in 19.5 overs.
Pacer Tendai Chatara (3/16) and skipper Sikandar Raza (3/25) led the home side bowling with aplomb. It was India's first defeat in T20Is in 2024 and first against Zimbabwe in eight years. Raza was adjudged the 'Player of the Match' for his all-round performance.
'Everyone Looked A Bit Rusty': Gill
India skipper Shubman Gill on Saturday said he should have carried the bat through the first T20I against Zimbabwe while terming his side's batting effort as "disappointing."
He also said India were a bit under par on the field, despite bowling well to restrict the hosts to 115 for nine. "We bowled pretty well. We let ourselves down in the field. We were not up to standard and everyone looked a bit rusty," he said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
'Job Isn’t Done': Raza
Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza was understandably delighted with the big win but reminded his side that the series is still alive.
"Feel really happy about the win. But the job is not done, the series is not over. World champions play like world champions so we need to be ready for the next game," said Raza.
