Extras will cost Zimbabwe this game. 25 extras which means they've given away runs for 3 overs extra. #ZIMvInd

The highest Zimbabwe have chased down in a T20I is 141. Not sure how many Zimbabwe fans will be fancying them to chase 179 today #ZimvInd

Chigumbura: 'I think it's a good wicket, hopefully, we can restrict them to a low score. We are looking forward to a good game. We have to play positive cricket, hopefully, the players will play their roles and put the team through.'

Rahane: 'We will bat first. Looks like a dry wicket, we want to defend a score. The wicket will not change much, but might help our spinners later on. We have to be at our best throughout the 40 overs.'

For Zimbabwe, medium-pacer Taurai Muzarbani and Neville Madziva are playing their first T20Is.
