India vs Zimbabwe T20 match: The second match of the five-match T20 series between India and Zimbabwe is to be played in Harare today (7 July). The Indian team was defeated by Zimbabwe by 13 runs in the first match. So now Team India will try its best to win this match at any cost. The match will start at 4.30 pm. Fans will also keep an eye on the playing-11 of both the teams.
This player can make his debut
Indian fast bowler Harshit Rana can make his debut in international cricket through this match. Harshit has been selected only for the first two matches. Therefore, the team management would definitely like to give him a chance. Harshit can bat well in the lower order, so he can prove to be an X-factor for the team in this match. If Harshit plays, Mukesh Kumar or Avesh Khan may have to stay out. Riyan Parag, Abhishek Sharma and Dhruv Jurel flopped in their debut match. However, these three are also likely to get a chance in this match. At the same time, there is no possibility of any change in Zimbabwe's playing XI.
In the second T20 match, captain Shubman Gill can open the innings with Abhishek Sharma. Abhishek could not even open the account in the first T20. While Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Rituraj Gaikwad can come to bat at number three. While Riyan Parag can come at fourth and Rinku Singh at fifth. Leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi and spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar can also perform well in this match. On the other hand, Zimbabwe gave the home fans a chance to celebrate by performing brilliantly in the first match. Sikandar Raza, who plays for Punjab Kings in the IPL, can prove to be a challenge for India in this match as well. Raza forced the Indian team to lose by taking three wickets in the first T20.
