IND vs ZIM: Predicted India playing XI for the second T20I
The Indian Team finally won their first T20I match after a 7-match winless streak. The Men in Blue defeated the hosts, Zimbabwe, by 7 wickets in the first T20I match of the 3-match series. This is the first victory for Shreyas Iyer as India’s regular T20I captain. His team faced humiliation during the UK tour, where they didn’t win a single game out of 7. However, the Zimbabwe tour brings new fortune for Iyer & co. After winning the first, Team India is now eyeing a series victory also. The second T20I between India and Zimbabwe will take place at the same stadium on July 25.
For this match, the Indian team could enter with the existing playing XI that played in the previous game. Abhishek Sharma failed in the first game, scoring only 1 run off 8 balls. Management could give him a rest in the next cricket match, but at the moment, it looks tough for management to make a change in the winning combination. If Abhishek sits on the bench, then Prabhsimran Singh will replace him.
Apart from that, the rest of the batting order could be the same. Apart from that, the rest of the batting order could be the same. Ishan Kishan, skipper Shreyas Iyer, and Tilak Varma will bat at 3,4 & 5 respectively. Following them, Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh will feature in the finishing roles.
In the bowling department, Yash Thakur will have to wait for his turn as Mayank Yadav, Ashok Sharma, and Prince Yadav performed well in the first T20I. The trio set the foundation for restricting Zimbabwe to a low-par score. Mayank Yadav, who was also returning in a T20I setup after recovering from injury, took 2 wickets and conceded 18 runs in 4 overs. At the same time, Prince’s figures were 4 overs, 19 runs, 2 wickets. However, Ashok Sharma didn’t take any wickets and conceded 29 runs in his debut. But he was looking impressive, especially after going expensive in the very first over of his spell. While Suryansh Shedge could replace Shivam Dube in the India playing XI.
