India’s tour of Zimbabwe got off to a shaky start in the first T20I in Harare on Sunday. The visitors found themselves in a desperate situation, struggling to chase a relatively small target. After losing six wickets, India had managed to score only 47 runs.
If Zimbabwe manages to defend this low total, it would become the lowest total ever defended against India in a T20I match. Currently, the record for the lowest total defended against India belongs to New Zealand, who successfully defended a score of 126 runs in a T20 World Cup match back in 2016.
The Indian team’s batting performance in Harare raised concerns for their fans. It remains to be seen if they can recover from this disastrous start and turn the series around. The outcome of this match will be closely watched to determine if Zimbabwe can pull off an upset and secure a historic victory over the Indian team.
