Ah! Man, they should have had at least a day off. I've never liked back to back games.

Agreed- particularly for the likes of Muz and Richie.

I spoke to a couple of guys who watched India in the nets. Maphosa, Nungu and mubaiwa were getting them out repeatedly.

Interesting. I know this India C but they are still all huge IPL stars and by all accounts excellent players.

Nungu is very talented for my money, I’ve always really liked the look of him. Annoying that he hasn’t had a proper franchise run yet - always been in and out.

Unchanged side

Well, India already on the backfoot, deciding to go in with only 4 bowlers which means Abhishek will be the 5th bowler. That itself gives Zimbabwe a good chance.

Sudharshan is a very talented player though and Zimbabwe need to be wary of him. His is not a big hitter but a solid player.

Naqvi is not currently eligible. They reckon ICC papers should be sorted by Wednesday.

Same pitch again today.

Shumba up top against pace in place of Kaia? You don't want to meddle too much with a winning team.

Yeah you don’t want to risk someoen scoring lower than Kaia game one.

Don’t t20 teams usually start with spin nowadays btw?

I hope Ngarava gets a couple of games in so that the Indian fans can get to see him in action

Is it being screened on Ztv?
