ZIM vs IND, 1st T20I Preview: Streaming Details, Probable Playing XI And More

ZIM vs IND: India will kick off their Zimbabwe tour with the first T20I at Harare Sports Club on July 6. The second-string Indian team, led by Shubman Gill for the first time, has much to prove. Gill, who was left out of the T20 World Cup squad, is eager to demonstrate his skills in both batting and leadership. IPL stars Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma will make their international debuts.

Zimbabwe also features a youthful squad, with Sikandar Raza as captain for the five-match T20I series. India will need to be cautious of Zimbabwe’s bowling attack, including Blessing Muzarabani, Wellington Masakadza, and Richard Ngarava, who have been performing well. Zimbabwe aims to use this series as a chance for a resurgence in the international format.
