India will take on Zimbabwe in the opening T20I of the three-match series at Harare Sports Club in Harare. The visitors, led by Shreyas Iyer, will be eager to return to winning ways after a difficult run in the shortest format.
India, who lifted the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup earlier this year, have struggled for consistency in recent T20Is, losing six of their last seven matches. As they begin their Zimbabwe tour, victory will be crucial not only to regain momentum but also to rebuild confidence ahead of future international assignments.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, will look to make the most of home conditions and continue troubling the Men in Blue in the T20 format.
When and where will the match be played?
The first T20I between India and Zimbabwe will be played at Harare Sports Club, Harare.
