India are set to face Zimbabwe in the fourth T20I of the ongoing five-match series on Saturday in Harare. Holding a 2-1 lead, India are just one victory away from clinching the series, while Zimbabwe will be determined to level the playing field and push the contest to a fifth match.

The series has been a rollercoaster of emotions for both teams. Zimbabwe started strong with a convincing victory in the first game, showcasing their dominance over India. However, India bounced back with a spirited performance in the second and third T20Is, proving their quality with both bat and ball. 

India’s success in the first two matches can be attributed to a well-rounded team performance. Key players like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad have provided solid foundations with the bat, while bowlers like Khaleel Ahmed and Washington Sundar have kept the Zimbabwe batsmen under pressure. The team will likely continue to rely on its experienced players to guide them through the pressure of the upcoming match.

For Zimbabwe, the fourth match is crucial. They need to maintain their aggressive playstyle, capitalize on India’s weaknesses, and keep themselves upto the task. 

Zim probable XI: Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wessly Madhevere, Brian Bennett , Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza (c), Johnathan Campbell, Clive Madande (wk), Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chatara

Ind probable XI: Shubman Gill (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed
