ZIM vs IND Match Preview

India won the T20 series over Zimbabwe in perhaps the most comprehensive way possible. They chased off a par total of 156 with 10 wickets in hand, thanks to some outstanding batting from Jaiswal and Gill. The final match is meaningless in the context of the series, but both Zimbabwe and India would like to use it to learn more about their future players.

Topmost Picks for ZIM vs IND Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Zimbabwe

• Brian Bennett – Although the 20 year old batting all-rounder made only four from five balls in the last game. He hit another boundary and India’s bowlers will be wary of him being at the crease for any length of time.
• Sikandar Raza – The captain dismissed two of India’s top three in the last match and now has picked up five wickets across this series.

Top Picks – India

• Ruturaj Gaikwad – The right-handed top order batter captained Chennai Super Kings in the 2024 Indian Premier League and hit 11 fours along with one six in Sunday’s T20I.
• Mukesh Kumar – The opening pace bowler dismissed both of Zimbabwe’s openers in Sunday’s T20I and he has now got the wicket of Innocent Kaia in both matches in the series.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for ZIM vs IND Dream11 Team:

Clive Madande, Innocent Kaia, Wesley Madhevere, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill(C), Brian Bennett, Sikandar Raza(VC), Abhishek Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi, Blessing Muzarabani

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for ZIM vs IND Dream11 Team:

Clive Madande, Innocent Kaia, Wesley Madhevere, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Brian Bennett, Sikandar Raza, Abhishek Sharma(C), Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi(VC), Blessing Muzarabani

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Vice-captain – Ravi Bishnoi, Sikandar Raza

Wicketkeeper – Clive Madande

ZIM vs IND Probable Winners:

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 Sunday. 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.
