Zimbabwe, opting to bowl first, will maintain their lineup against India at the Harare Sports Club. India leads the series 1-0, aiming for a decisive victory. Zimbabwe’s captain, Sikandar Raza, cited the winter wicket’s early spice as a reason for the unchanged team selection.
India’s captain, Shreyas Iyer, announced pacer Yash Thakur’s international debut, replacing Ashok Sharma in the playing eleven. Thakur, a Punjab Kings player in the IPL, brings his experience from winning the Ranji Trophy in 2024/25 with Vidarbha. The pitch conditions appear different from the previous game, prompting a strategic decision to bat first.
The playing XIs for Zimbabwe and India are set, with both teams fielding their chosen lineups for the match. Zimbabwe features players like Brian Bennett and Sikandar Raza, while India includes talents such as Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer in their squad.
