IND vs ZIM 1st T20I: Pitch report from Harare Sports Club
As it is an afternoon game, there is a buzz around a flat pitch, which will favour the batters at Harare Sports Club. However, it won’t be a one-sided game as seamers may get a success with variations in their bowling efforts.
Spinners might get a bit of turn, especially in the latter half of the game. However, as it’s the first match of the series, the pitch is unlikely to deteriorate. Consequently, the toss-winner might choose to bowl first.
