India vs Zimbabwe LIVE Updates, 4th T20I: India eye early wickets after inviting Zimbabwe to bat first in the fourth T20I match in Harare. Wessly Madhevere and Tadiwanashe Marumani have opened the batting for the hosts.
A new-look Indian cricket team slumped to a shocking loss against Zimbabwe in their first T20I encounter in Harare on Saturday. Ravi Bishnoi took four wickets while Washington Sundar took two as Zimbabwe could only manage to score 115/9 in 20 overs. In response, the Indian cricket team batters lost the plot completely as the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were all out for just 102. India skipper Shubman Gill criticised his side's fielding after the 13-run loss and also said that after losing five wickets early, he himself should have stayed till the end to finish the match for his side.
Shubman Gill can wrap up his first series win as India captain today as the team take on Zimbabwe in the fourth T20I of the five-match series. India head into the contest with a 2-1 lead. After a shock defeat in the first game, India bounced back in tremendous style with a 100-run win. The third T20I was a closer affair, with a valiant Zimbabwe falling just 23 runs short. Ahead of a decisive fourth T20I, let's take a look at India's possible XI for the game.
Young Abhishek Sharma announced his arrival on the big stage with a breathtaking 46-ball century as India pummelled Zimbabwe by a whopping 100 runs in the second T20I to restore parity in a resounding fashion in Harare on Sunday. This is India's biggest margin of victory in terms of runs against Zimbabwe in T20Is. The young Indian side didn't carry the baggage of a shock-13-run defeat in the series-opener as left-handed opener Abhishek blended power with grace for a scintillating 100-run knock that propelled India to a massive 234 for two on a track where batting wasn't exactly easy.
India vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20I Live Streaming: After the shock 13-run loss to Zimbabwe in the first T20I, Shubman Gill-led Team India have an instant opportunity to put things behind them and get back to form. With the first two T20Is being held on consecutive days, some of the squad could be rested. Harshit Rana and B Sai Sudharsan - who have been included in the squad for only the first two T20Is - will hope to make their T20I debuts for India today. Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel will also hope to get a second opportunity to score runs after disappointing in the first T20I.
India opener Abhishek Sharma's second T20I against Zimbabwe became more special after former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh congratulated him for his maiden ton for the country in the shortest format of cricket. After enduring a nightmarish start to his T20I career, Abhishek showed his true colours with the bat. From scoring a four-ball duck in his debut game, the 23-year-old youngster bounced back and scored a quick-fire hundred in the second T20I. He went berserk right from the get-go and opened his account with a towering maximum over deep backward square leg. His 47-ball century was laced with seven fours and a whopping eight maximums.
India's 13-run defeat to 12th-ranked Zimbabwe came after the young Indian batting lineup collapsed and were bowled out for just 102 runs. Captain Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar were the only two batters to score more than 20 runs, as the entire middle order failed to fire. From debutants Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag to first team hopefuls Rinku Singh and Ruturaj Gaikwad, it was a day to forget for Team India. Parag and Rinku, in particular, faced a lot of backlash from unhappy fans on social media.
India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20I Live Streaming: Team India will be squaring off against Zimbabwe in the first T20I of the five-match series in Harare on Saturday. Even as the euphoria of T20 World Cup triumph sweeps through the length and breadth of India, Shubman Gill, who was a reserve in that squad, will hit a refresh button along with a bunch of IPL performers. All the fresh faces are expected to make their international debut during the series scheduled to be played entirely in the Zimbabwean capital. As Gill also announced that Punjab teammate Abhishek Sharma will be making India debut and will be opening with him in the first game.
