India will look to clinch the three-match T20I series when they take on Zimbabwe in the second match at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday, July 25.
After a convincing seven-wicket victory in the series opener, Shreyas Iyer’s side carries a 1-0 lead into the contest and has the opportunity to wrap up the series with one game to spare.
The opening win was powered by teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who smashed a record-breaking 18-ball fifty to become the youngest player to score an international half-century, while returning pacer Mayank Yadav impressed with figures of 2/18.

Pitch and weather report
The Harare Sports Club is expected to offer another good batting surface after India comfortably chased down 126 in the opening match.
