India vs Zimbabwe Live Score, 2nd T20I: Can Shubman and Co. stage a comeback?
India vs Zimbabwe Live Score, 2nd T20I: After suffering a shocking defeat at the hands of hosts Zimbabwe in the 1st T20 clash in Harare, Shubman Gill and Co. would be looking to stage a comeback in the 5-match series by winning the match today.
During the first T20I match, Zimbabwe posted a meagre total of 115/9 in their quota of 20 overs. However, the inexperienced Indian team found it extremely hard to chase down the total with only three batsmen, Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan and Washington Sundar, going into the double digits.
There will be some tough decisions to make for the Indian skipper and coach VVS Laxman, given that the whole batting lineup did not perform. Meanwhile, Shubman also wasn’t happy with the fielding effort on Saturday and went on to say that players looked ‘rusty’.
Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza, on the other hand, has said that while he is happy with performance of his side in the first clash, the job isn’t done yet.
