ZIM vs IND Match Prediction & Analysis
India’s tour of Zimbabwe marks a new beginning for India’s T20 cricket as the new World Champions move ahead without two of their biggest stars. This series is a great opportunity for many rising stars who made a big impact during recent IPL seasons.
Zimbabwe, led by Sikandar Raza, will have a tough challenge, even if this is not India’s first XI. They haven’t been in great touch lately and India are bringing some of the most promising young players for this series.
The hosts have some promising bowlers in their squad who will be put to the test as they take on India’s finest next-gen batters. Blessing Muzarabani, Wellington Masakadza, and Richard Ngarava will be the key bowlers in this squad.
A few uncapped batters will be keen on making their international debut for India in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Zimbabwe Preview
Zimbabwe played their last home series back in December 2023 against Ireland which ended in a 3-3 tie. In 2024, they played 7 T20Is, all of them at away venues, and won just 2 of them.
Their best performance came in their last match against Bangladesh where Brian Bennett and Sikandar Raza played match-winning knocks to lead Zimbabwe to an 8-wicket win.
The bowlers were very impressive in that series, particularly Blessing Muzarabani. The good thing for Zimbabwe was the variety in the bowling attack and that everyone chipped in with contributions.
The all-rounders, Luke Jongwe, Brian Bennett, and Sikandar Raza will be the ones adding strength and options to the bowling attack. They are the ones to watch out for in this match.
Though India’s batting lineup looks solid with their newcomers having made a huge impact on the IPL, they are still quite inexperienced and haven’t played a lot of cricket in these conditions.
Sikandar Raza and co. should be looking to exploit that and make sure their bowlers are on top of the game from the word go. Raza has plenty of options to do exactly that with the ball.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing XI:
Brian Bennett, Tadiwanshe Marumani, Sikandar Raza (c), Jonathan Campbell, Clive Madande (wk), Innocent Kaia, Wesley Madhevere, Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngrava
Zimbabwe Actual Playing XI:
Johnathan Campbell, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza, Innocent Kaia, Wesley Madhevere, Brian Bennett, Luke Jongwe, Clive Madande, Tendai Chatara, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani
India Preview
India are all set to introduce their IPL rising stars to the world stage. Riyan Parag, Jitesh Sharma, and Abhishek Sharma are all uncapped players who will be keen to make a debut in this match.
While Dhruv Jurel is also yet to play a T20 international, he’s had some experience playing Tests for India recently. Harshit Rana, who was a star bowler for KKR and played a big role in their title-winning campaign, has also made it to the squad for this tour.
Shubman Gill will be leading all these young and promising players on this tour and will be ed by the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, and Washington Sundar, who are relatively more experienced than others.
India should push for new faces in the first two T20Is as for the rest of the games, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, and Sanju Samson will be back in the squad.
For this match, Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad can be an opening combination. Abhishek Sharma also makes a strong case for himself after a great season with SRH.
Avesh Khan should be able to make it to the XI along with Khaleel Ahmed in the pace attack. The choice for the 3rd pacer should be between Mukesh Kumar and Harshit Rana.
India’s packing a strong punch as far as their squad is concerned. However, will their approach change? They’ve relied way too much on spinners in the past. Can India look ahead with a new outlook as they begin a new era in T20Is?
India Predicted Playing XI:
Shubman Gill (c), Abhishek Sharma, Sai Sudarshan, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi
India Actual Playing XI:
Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh, Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Abhishek Sharma, Dhruv Jurel, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a balanced wicket that offers help for both batters and bowlers. Both teams have plenty of bowling options to exploit any help the pitch could offer. And that makes for an exciting contest in the opening T20I of the series. It will be a sunny day with a high of 26 degrees Celsius in Harare on the match day.
ZIM vs IND Pitch Report
Harare Sports Club will be the venue for this and the remaining matches of this T20I series between Zimbabwe and India. The average 1st innings score isn’t very high here, but for a match-winning total, we reckon the team batting first should aim for something around 185-190.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won slightly more number of matches here. But that won’t be of much importance. The pitch has been quite helpful to the batters in the past and has witnessed some big totals. We reckon batting first should be a great choice on this wicket.
ZIM vs IND
Winning Prediction
India are already the clear favorites on betting sites to win this match. We believe the hosts have the potential to pull something special here and make it an exciting game of T20 cricket. However, on the whole, the men in blue are ahead of the hosts and start as favorites in our match prediction.
