ZIM vs IND Dream11 Prediction: After defying the odds in the 1st T20I match, Zimbabwe cricket team will look to clock back-to-back wins when they host the Indian cricket team in the 2nd T20I match at Harare Sports Club. The match is scheduled to start at 04:30 PM (IST) on Sunday, July 07, 2024.
Zimbabwe produced a superb performance in the first T20I match and beat Team India by 13 runs. Indian captain opted to bowl first and the decision was proven right as Indian bowler turned the screws on Zimbabwe’s batsmen right from the first over. Ravi Bishnoi was unplayable with the spinner picking up four wickets and the home team could manage only 115 runs in 20 overs.
With the total so low, India had the game in sight. It was their for taking, but still, Team India failed to chase the target down and were bundled out for a meagre 102 runs.

Pitch Report: Zimbabwe and India combined for 217 runs in 39.5 overs in the first T20I match, with 19 wickets falling in the process. The low score doesn’t mean that the pitch at Harare Sports Club is bad for batting. In fact, the surface offers true bounce and that means, batsmen can play through the line. India’s big fall in the first T20I match was down to their batsmen playing bad aerial shots. The par score at this venue remains around 155-160 runs. If India bat first, expect them to reach around 160 runs.

TOP Picks For ZIM vs IND Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Shubman Gill: With 31 runs off 29 balls, India’s captain Shubman Gill scored the highest runs in the match. India remained in the game as long as he was on the crease. He is a premium batsman and India’s best bet in this series.
- Sikandar Raza: Won man-of-the-match award for his all-round display. Zimbabwe’s captain scored a crucial 17 runs and then performed with the ball as well, picking up three wickets in four overs.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad: Chennai Super Kings’ captain may have failed to get going in the first T20I match, scoring only 7 runs off 9 balls, but we know he is a class player. He will be itching to make amends in the 2nd T20I match.
- Ravi Bishnoi: Zimbabwe batsmen didn’t have a clue about Ravi Bishnoi. He was unplayable. Believe it or not, Bishnoi bowled two maiden overs in four overs and picked up four wickets as well. Had India’s batsmen not let him down, he would have won the man-of-the-match award.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Tendai Chatara: Zimbabwe’s medium pacer created all sorts of problems for Indian batsmen who failed to read his variations. He is worth keeping an eye on in this match.
- Washington Sundar: Took two wickets in four overs and scored 27 runs as well. His all-round skills make him a no-nonsense option to have in Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
- Blessing Muzarabani: Zimbabwe’s best bowler. The lanky fast bowler can get bounce off any surface and poses the biggest threat to Indian batsmen.
