The second T20I match between India and Zimbabwe is scheduled to take place at the Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe. The weather forecast for Harare indicates clear skies with a minimal likelihood of rain.

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza has won the toss and asked India to set a target in the second T20I at the Harare Sports Club today (July 25, 2026). Facing a must-win situation to keep the three-match series alive, the hosts are looking to exploit early moisture on a hard, flat deck.

India enter the match with a 1-0 series lead following a dominant seven-wicket win in Thursday's opener. The spotlight remains firmly focused on 15-year-old Indian batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who shattered records by hitting a blistering 18-ball half-century.

India’s XI: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (w), Shreyas Iyer (c), Tilak Varma (vc), Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Prince Yadav, Yash Thakur, Mayank Yadav.

Zimbabwe’s XI: Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani (w), Ben Curran, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Wessly Madhevere, Brad Evans, Newman Nyamhuri, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani.

Can Zimbabwe take the series into a decider?

Sikandar Raza has the new ball. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will take strike.

Abhishek is bitterly disappointed and it's Muzarabani again!

India lose an early wicket yet again.

IND- 10/1 (2/20)

Now, it's the 15-year old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who will have to leave the field! His show is over..

Sooryavanshi decides he's going to continue taking them on and goes through with the pull, but this skews high up in the air, off the top part of the bat, and the mid-on fielder takes an excellent catch running behind a few steps.

IND- 30/2 (3/20)

It's the captain this time!

He has picked out backward point! Iyer sees this dropped short and rocks back to cut, and in trying to do so has perished. The ball lobbed to Evans who didn't have to move an inch.

IND- 95/3 (10/20)

Kishan is out after playing a fine innings..

He throws his bat at it, which turns on impact, a sign there is not a lot of timing in the shot.

IND- 194/4 (18/20)

Rinku Singh swings to a full toss, goes high and gets out!

IND- 219/5 (20)

India have an excellent total on board. The real acceleration came in their middle overs with fabulous performance from Ishan Kishan (81) and Tilak Verma (60*).

Zimbabwe haven't done well to themselves and it would be a hard challenge for the Chevrons to score past 200 against the Men In Blue.

IND- 219/5 (20)

We're set for Zimbabwe's chase. Mayank Yadav has the new ball in hand.

Bennett takes the Strike!

First International wicket for Vidarbha's Yash Thakur!

Bennett ended making a royal mess..

ZIM- 34/1 (4/20)

And there's another..

Prince is on board immediately, short ball turned out to be too expensive for Ben Curran.

ZIM- 36/2 (4.3/20)

Myers misses it miserably, sees leg-stump knocked back!

Bishnoi bags the wicket wide of the crease.

ZIM- 49/3 (6/20)

Big fat edge it was and easy catch for Kishan behind the stumps!

Raza will be bitterly disappointed with the stroke. A nothing stroke really. Zimbabwe are unravelling very quickly here.

ZIM- 50/4 (6.2/20)

Madhevere lobs up to Iyer who takes the dolly. One of the easiest catches to take.

ZIM- 67/4 (9.4/20)

He leaves his stumps open and Abhishek takes them. Evans tries to shuffle across his stumps to scoop the bowler. And he misses a fast, flat delivery that pings his leg stump

Abhishek bowls. That might be too good for a lower-order batter. Tossed up. Drifts in. The angle forces Nyamhuri to think the flick shot is on. But then the ball dips, grips and turns clean past the leading edge into the stumps.

Marumani can't connect with the offcutter so it connects with his stumps

Yash Thakur it is again.

Taken at long-on. That's the game. Tossed up well wide of the left-hander's reach as Abhishek responds to Ngarava charging him.

The batter still goes for the slog. Mistimes it and is taken safely by Rinku.

ZIM- 129 (17.5/20)

That’s it!

India win the 2nd T20I and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Yash Thakur enjoyed a memorable debut with 2-30, while India’s batters responded strongly to the pace-and-bounce challenge.

One match remains in the series.
