In this article we will be analyzing the ZIM vs IND match prediction. After an embarrassing defeat in the first T20I of the series, India stunned Zimbabwe in the second one, beating them by 100 runs. Young opener Abhishek Sharma stole the show with his quick century while Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rinku Singh reigned supreme as well. Gaikwad made 77* runs while Rinku made 48* runs and courtesy of their knocks, India posted 234 runs in the second T20I.
They would hope to continue with the same momentum in the third T20I. Yashasvi Jaiswal might have to wait to break into the squad but Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube are expected to replace Dhruv Jurel and Sai Sudharsan respectively. Among bowlers, Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan were sensational and overall, India would be happy with their position at the moment.
When it comes to Zimbabwe, they have a lot of room for improvement. A lot of their success depends on skipper Sikandar Raza and that needs to change. The bowling unit looks sorted despite leaking plenty of runs in the last match. They have the quality to bounce back and would hope to do the same as the first T20I.
