ZIM Vs IND: The World Champions of the shortest format will take on Zimbabwe for a five-match series of the 20-overs format. India will be under the leadership skills of Shubman Gill for this series which will start from tomorrow and the first two T20I matches will be played on back-to-back days on the 6th and 7th of July 2024.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe won two twenty overs matches versus India in the past and in the 2015 series of the shortest, the Zimbabweans levelled that two-match series as well. This shows that the home side of this series can spring a surprise on any day. Another interesting fact is that Zimbabwe also defeated Pakistan in the T20 World Cup played in 2022 in Australia.
Batting will be the prime focus for the hosts, Zimbabwe because they will face a good bowling unit and the Indian bowlers are more skilled and experienced due to the Indian Premier League tournament. This Indian side is also a quality team even when the regular stars, who played in the T20 World Cup 2024 are not in the squad.
