Who will win today match: The first t20 match of the India tour of Zimbabwe 2024 will take place at Harare Sports Club. This match will kick off at 1:30 p.m. local time. India and Zimbabwe are not so familiar opponents in T20Is. These two teams had played just eight T20I matches against each other before this encounter.
Zimbabwe has tasted a little bit of success in the past against the Indian team, but that time was different, and Zimbabwe was a good side back then. But in the current scenario, India is miles ahead of Zimbabwe, and it would be a big upset if India lost to Zimbabwe. However, anything is possible in cricket, so it will be interesting to see who will win today’s match.

IND vs ZIM Pitch Report: 1st T20I Harare Sports Club
The cricket pitch at Harare Sports Club is an excellent playing surface because it offers bowlers and batters equal support. Because of the solid and hard surface, the bounce in the wicket stays high and true, which benefits the batsman as the ball approaches the bat with ease. This pitch also provides something for bowlers; in the middle overs, spinners can find some grip from the surface, while fast bowlers can always find something here.
