Zimbabwe vs India, 1st T20I – Stats Preview

India will lock horns against Zimbabwe in the first T20I at the Harare Sports Club, Harare on Saturday. As the celebration wave of India’s victory in the T20 World Cup has been creating all the buzz, the young brigade, led by Shubman Gill, will embark on a new chapter in India’s T20I folklore.

India has no shortage of talent and the young players will be on display in this five-match T20I series. It is already a dream come true for many of these rising stars and they will want to grab their opportunity with both hands after impressing one and all on the big stage of the Indian Premier League. 

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup but their players certainly can learn a lot by playing against this talented Indian group.

Stats Preview:

India’s flamboyant batter Ruturaj Gaikwad needs one four to complete 50 boundaries in T20Is.

Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza needs 53 runs to reach the 2000-run mark in T20Is. Raza needs four fours and eight sixes to complete 150 boundaries and 100 maximums respectively in T20I format.

Luke Jongwe needs 25 runs to complete 500 runs in T20Is. The right-hander also needs nine fours to complete 50 boundaries.
