India vs Zimbabwe
Indian cricket team will travel to Zimbabwe for a five-match T20I series starting July 6. Prior to leaving home, Shubman Gill will lead their squad as captain and hope to break their current losing streak in T20Is.
Zimbabwe may not have the best economic situation, yet football remains immensely popular throughout its borders. Witnessing scenes at recent World Cup qualifier against Ireland showed just how enthusiastic Zimbabwe fans can be; their smiles displayed their joy. All this made even more striking by Zimbabwe’s current socio-economic conditions which include inflation ravaging its people while many live in dire poverty.
Zimbabwe’s preferred format has always been Twenty20 cricket, and their squad boasts talented young players like Travis Friend, Andy Blignaut, Hamilton Masakadza, Dougie Hondo, Craig Wishart, Elton Chigumbura Tatenda Taibu Prosper Utseya Prosper Utseya Barney Rogers who show plenty of promise compared to players such as Streak Goodwin Flower brothers etc. While these newcomers might not have Streak Goodwin Flower Flower brothers or Streak Goodwin Flower brothers but these newcomers show plenty of potential.
Last year’s World Cup qualifying match between Ireland and Zimbabwe was one of the most entertaining ever seen, featuring one of the most controversial incidents ever witnessed involving John Mooney of Ireland and Sean Williams from Zimbabwe – with Mooney appearing to run out a boundary but eventually declared out due to eight different television replays being inconclusive; eventually Zimbabwe lost and Mooney declared out, declaring out and declaring out as well as losing their game against Ireland.
Zimbabwe haven’t enjoyed significant Test cricket success for some time, following their dismal showing at the 2007 World Cup where they even struggled against non-Test playing Ireland, prompting many observers to suggest that Zimbabwe focus more on improving domestic structures instead of competing against Full Member sides. Subsequently, captain Anthony Ireland accepted an offer to join Gloucestershire rather than leading Zimbabwe back.
Zimbabwe Cricket Team currently competes in the ICC World T20 Qualifier tournament alongside Afghanistan, Nepal, Hong Kong and Scotland. They were defeated 0-2 by Afghanistan early in the tournament but managed to make it into Super Six by defeating Nepal and Afghanistan respectively.
Zimbabwe will have their chance to shine against India in a T20 series that offers them the perfect platform to showcase their skills. Zimbabwe could cause an upset in this competition; but their batsmen and bowlers must deliver.
