India begin their next chapter in the T20Is on tour as they take on Zimbabwe in a three-match series, which starts today (July 23) in Harare.

Defending T20 World Cup champions India, led by Shreyas Iyer, are touring Zimbabwe to rebuild momentum after recent setbacks. Zimbabwe, captained by the experienced Sikandar Raza, will look to challenge the visitors on home soil despite India's dominant 11-3 head-to-head record in T20Is.

India have a big task ahead after losing consecutive T20I series, for the first time in their history in almost seven years. The team, led by Shreyas Iyer, will be aiming to bounce back, while the Zimbabweans would have their own agenda to spoil the party.

IND vs ZIM 1st T20I Pitch Report

The pitch is expected to play a key part in this match. At Harare Sports Club, the ball swings a bit early on, and with the cold weather, the batters will have to be cautious in the early stages. We can expect a competitive pitch which is good for batting but will also help bowlers.
