Harare Sports Club: Following a commanding seven-wicket win in the series opener, Shreyas Iyer's India will aim to seal the three-match T20I series when they face Zimbabwe in the second fixture at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.
After series defeats to Ireland and England, India bounced back on Thursday with a comfortable seven-wicket win in the opener to take a 1-0 lead. The victory was anchored by teenaged batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who smashed a record-breaking 18-ball fifty to become the youngest half-centurion in men’s international cricket, and a sharp 2-18 spell from returning pacer Mayank Yadav.
Conditions at the Harare Sports Club are likely to favour high-scoring action, though India’s disciplined performance meant that Zimbabwe could only make 125/7. Unusually warm winter weather is expected again, with temperatures hovering between 22 and 24 degrees.
