Match Prediction:
Wednesday in Harare sees Zimbabwe and India go head-to-head for the third time with the five-match series equal at 1-1. On Saturday, Zimbabwe won the opening game; then, India beat them by 100 runs on Sunday’s second T20I. Keep reading as we preview this game. Starting on July 10th at 13:00 local time, the game takes place at the Harare Sports Club.
With a close victory, Zimbabwe surprised everyone starting the series, but few were surprised to see India hammered in Sunday’s second T20I. Though there have been some good individual performances, we anticipate the hosts once more displaying an offensive strategy in this match.
India returned to their best in Sunday’s game with both bat and ball following Saturday’s unsatisfactory performance. Based on their highly confident batting line-up, we expect them to be rather positive against this T20I bowling assault from Zimbabwe.
Winning Chances:
Toss Prediction:
Since the side batting first has won both games in this series, we are expecting both captains to come out to the toss hoping to bat first once more in this battle.
Weather Report:
The settings are rather similar to those of the first two games, which implies sunlight all around and mid-twenties temperature from beginning to end.
Pitch Report:
We saw India show how much of a fantastic batting surface this is at the Harare Sports Stadium in Sunday’s game, even if the bowlers were on top on Saturday and the hitters struggled. The first batsman in this T20I will be trying to score 180+%.
INDIA TEAM NEWS
One alteration for India before of the second T20I was Sai Sudharsan arriving for Khaleel Ahmed. Even if Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson are now on hand, all three might find it difficult to get in the side following India’s 234/2 Sunday performance.
INDIA Predicted Playing 11
Shubman Gill (c), Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Riyan Parag, Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Washington Sundar, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Mukesh Kumar
ZIMBABWE TEAM NEWS
Following their victorious start to the series, Zimbabwe chose the same XI for Sunday’s game, which resulted in a dismal loss. Dion Myers made 23 in the initial match so should keep his spot even though he had a game to forget with his one over costing 28 runs and got a golden duck with the bat.
ZIMBABWE Predicted Playing 11
Innocent Kaia, Wesley Madhevere, Brian Bennett, Sikandar Raza (c), Dion Myers, Jonathan Campbell, Clive Madande (wk), Wellington Masakadza, Luke Jongwe, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chatara
India vs Zimbabwe Prediction:
India responded brilliantly to their initial game loss by out-performance of Zimbabwe in all spheres on Sunday. Although Brian Bennett has shown great offensive intent across the series, he will need two or three more hitters to provide something unique in this game so Zimbabwe has a chance. India seems back to their best; we hope they will win the Wednesday game.
