Opening batter Abhishek Sharma shone with a historic century in India’s dominating 100-run win over Zimbabwe in the second T20I in Harare on Sunday. The southpaw slammed 100 off 47 balls with the help of 7 fours and 8 sixes as India posted 234 for 2 after opting to bat first against the hosts. Playing only his second T20I game, Abhishek slammed his maiden international century in 46 balls, laying foundation of a mammoth total for India. Ruturaj Gaikwad‘s unbeaten 77 and Rinku Singh‘s quickfire 48 not out helped the visitors keep the momentum intact and post a massive total on the board.

In the following innings, Avesh Khan (3 for 15) and Ravi Bishnoi (2 for 11) ruled the roost as India bowled out Zimbabwe for 134, thus sealing a 100-run victory.

After the game, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza didn’t hesitate in admitting that his side was completely outplayed by “world champions” India.

“The world champions will eventually play like world champions,” said Raza after the game.

“I thought our fielding was bad, dropping four chances hurt us. I expected 200 on that wicket and it’d get better in the second innings. They got 20 extra. I thought it’d be a close game coming into the chase, but wasn’t to be,” he added.

Zimbabwe batters showed the intent to fight in the chase of 235, but losing wickets at regular intervals cost them big.

“Our top order not firing. Blessing has come leaps and bounds, he’s very hungry. As long as he stays fit, he’ll bowl well. We’ve talked about batting for a while. It’s easier to fix when there is a pattern. We came out firing today, lot of the issues came down to inexpereince,” said Raza.

The win helped India level the five-match series against Zimbabwe 1-1.

India vs Zimbabwe, 2nd T20I Live Cricket Score: The Indian cricket team suffered a big upset at the hands of Zimbabwe in the first T20I on Saturday, with the hosts securing a 13-run victory, sending the cricketing fraternity in shock. As the Shubman Gill-led side, in the absence of top stars like Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, etc., enters the second T20I, the onus would be on young guns to step up an deliver.

IND vs ZIM Live Score: Zimbabwe lead 1-0 in series

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 of the five-match series in Harare on Saturday. India, who were recently crowned champions in the T20 World Cup 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.

India’s Predicted XI vs Zimbabwe, 2nd T20I: Will Shubman Gill Make Changes After Batting Failure?

admin — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 02:11:55 +0000

Suffering a shocking defeat against Zimbabwe in the opening T20I of the five-match series, Shubman Gill-led Team India will be raring to make a comeback in the second game in Harare on Sunday. The visitors faltered while chasing a paltry target of 116 against Zimbabwe. The inexperience of the Indian batting line-up was quite evident as majority of the batters lost their wickets while trying to go for fancy shots. On the other hand, the Zimbabwe bowlers cashed in on the opportunity to create an upset. The hosts bowled out India for 102 runs in 19.3 overs.

Here is what we think could be India’s playing XI vs Zimbabwe in second T20I –

Shubman Gill: It was a bitter-sweet start for Gill in the series. He did a decent job with his captaincy, but he could have taken his innings deep during batting. With 31 off 29, Gill top-scored for India in the first T20I vs Zimbabwe.

Abhishek Sharma: It was a poor start for the swashbuckling southpaw. He was dismissed for a four-ball duck in his debut India game. He got out while trying to go for a big shot.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: A reliable Gaikwad, who batted at number 3 spot for India, failed with a score of 7 off 9 balls. He must be itching to prove his mettle.

Riyan Parag: The right-handed middle-order batter lost his wicket while going for a fancy shot. He should grab his chances in upcoming games.

Rinku Singh: The star finisher got out for a two-ball duck as the bounce of the Harare track got better of him.

Dhruv Jurel (wk): The wicketkeeper-batter got a chance ahead of Jitesh Sharma but failed to impressed in the game. Jurel never looked settled during his short stay at the crease.

Washington Sundar: An experienced campaigner Washington had a good outing as he picked two wickets and played a fighting knock of 27.

Ravi Bishnoi: The leg-spinner lived up to the expectations and returned with his career-best T20I figures of 4 for 13 against Zimbabwe.

Khaleel Ahmed: The left-arm pacer leaked runs over 9 per over and failed to take any wicket in the first T20I vs Zimbabwe.

Avesh Khan: The right-arm pacer was decent with the ball, returning figures of 1 for 29 in four overs.

Mukesh Kumar: He was economical during his spell. Mukesh bowled three overs and conceded 16 runs while taking a wicket.
