After winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian cricket team are on a tour to Zimbabwe, for the five-match bilateral series. The Men in Blue went down in the first T20I on Saturday, but would look to get things right in the second time of asking.
A second-string side led by Shubman Gill, failed to chase 116, falling short by 13 runs. Ravi Bishnoi's heroics of a four-fer meant nothing, as Indian batters stumbled at every bump on the road to victory.
The second T20I will kickstart at 4:30 PM (IST). Team India are still without the services of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube for the 2nd T20I. Meanwhile, a full-strength Zimbabwe side would hope to throw a dagger at the hopes of the young Indian side.
