Oct 18, 2026 18:07 ISTIND vs ZIM: 2nd T20I previewIndia will look to address their top-order woes when they take on Zimbabwe in the second T20I in Raipur on Sunday. Smriti Mandhana's team escaped with a four-wicket win in the series opener, but their pursuit of 115 was far from convincing. Mandhana fell for nine as India slumped to 19/4 inside the first four overs, leaving the middle order with a mountain to climb. Deepti Sharma's 49 off 37 balls and an unbeaten 39 from debutant Niki Prasad rescued the hosts and took them over the line. Earlier, Zimbabwe posted 114/4, with Sharne Mayers scoring 43 and Kelis Ndhlovu contributing 42. India will now aim for a more assured performance, particularly from their top order, as they look to build on their opening victory.
