Zimbabwe will square off against India in the second T20I at the Harare Sports Club, Harare on Saturday. India was able to take a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the series opener by seven wickets on Thursday.
The visitors came up with a brilliant bowling display, restricting the hosts to a paltry score of 125-7 after electing to bowl first. Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav were right on the money for the tourists, returning with 2-18 and 2-19 in their quota of four overs respectively.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe will need to come up with an improved performance to challenge the potent Indian team after they could not tick the right boxes in the series opener.
