Match Preview
The series started with an unexpected victory for Zimbabwe in a low-scoring match, but they struggled to maintain momentum afterward. Their defeat by 28 runs in the 3rd T20I highlighted batting challenges, and their heavy loss in the 4th T20I match was disappointing as they lost by 10 wickets. Tendai Chatara’s costly spells have been a concern. Sikandar Raza stood out, scoring above 40 and rescuing the team to a respectable total in the first innings. Luke Jongwe, who has maintained an economy rate below 8 in 2024, might replace Faraz Akram in the Playing XI.
India, on the other hand, made a remarkable comeback in the series after defeat in the first T20I. They secured a commanding 10-wicket victory in the 4th T20I, driven by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s blistering 93 off 53 balls and Shubman Gill’s composed 58 off 39 to chase down 153. The pacers excelled, claiming four wickets in today’s match, while Shivam Dube’s return to bowling after a prolonged interval was another highlight. Apart from that, Shubman Gill had good captaincy in rotating the bowlers and bringing in the key ones to take crucial wickets.
