New Delhi. India and Zimbabwe cricket teams are facing each other in the second T20 match at Harare Sports Club today (Sunday). Team India has lost the first T20 match. It has come with the intention of winning the second match and leveling the series. At the same time, the host Zimbabwe team would like to double the lead in the series. The Indian team is captained by Shubman Gill while the Zimbabwe team is led by Sikandar Raza. In the first T20, Zimbabwe bowled out India for 102 runs. The host team successfully defended 115 runs. Indian batsmen were badly flopped in the first match. Captain Shubman Gill also said after the match that the team's poor batting was the reason for their defeat. The captain also held himself responsible for the defeat. The Indian team is batting first after winning the toss.
A week ago, India won the T20 World Cup trophy. Exactly a week later, Zimbabwe defeated them badly in the same format. However, only a few players from the T20 World Cup winning team have been included in the team playing in Zimbabwe. And even they will not be able to reach Zimbabwe before the third T20. The BCCI has sent a young team to Zimbabwe tour which includes IPL star players.
