With an opportunity to seal the three-match T20I series, India will take on Zimbabwe in the second game at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday, after starting their campaign with a convincing seven-wicket win in the first T20I. Shreyas Iyer’s men will be confident of another dominant display after a one-sided victory on Thursday. On a challenging surface for batters, Indian pacers dominated the proceedings to restrict the hosts to a below-par total. Making his international comeback after more than two years, Mayank Yadav was impressive. His fiery hard-length deliveries proved unplayable for the Zimbabwe batters, as he combined with Prince Yadav to reduce the hosts to 32 for 4 and later 64 for 5. Tadiwanashe Marumani and Wessly Madhevere then played handy knocks to push the total to a respectable score. India chased down the target in just 13.2 overs, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashing a record-breaking 18-ball half-century to give India a 1-0 lead in the series. Sooryavanshi effectively killed the chase within the first few overs, slamming boundaries at will. India handed a debut cap to Ashok Sharma in the previous game and are likely to continue with him in this match as well, with Iyer expected to field the same playing XI.
