With two games remaining in the T20I series, India leads 2-1 heading into Saturday’s match at the Harare Sports Club. Zimbabwe, the hosts, took a 1-0 lead, but were defeated by 100 runs in the subsequent match and 23 runs in Wednesday’s T20I. Zimbabwe managed to extend the match on Wednesday, but they were unable to win following falling to 39/5 while chasing 183. So far in the series, they appear to be the weaker side in all departments when compared to India. There was some criticism of India’s batting strategy in the previous game, but their total of 182/4 was sufficient to win. With plenty of variety in their bowling and a long batting lineup, they should be able to secure another comfortable victory.

Despite the bowlers dominating on Saturday and the batters struggling, India demonstrated the quality of the batting surface at the Harare Sports Stadium in Sunday’s game. Whoever bats first in this T20I will aim for a score of 180 or higher.
The conditions are expected to be very similar to what we saw in the first two games, with sunshine throughout and temperatures in the mid-twenties from start to finish.

India has not looked like losing either of its last two matches, and they are expected to arrive at the Harare Sport Club full of confidence on Saturday. Zimbabwe should be better than they were on Wednesday, and if Richard Ngarava can return to his best form, they could be a real threat with the ball. Our prediction, based on India’s strong batters, is for another victory. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
