Will India make changes to the squad?
The Men in Blue is unlikely to change their combination after just one bad result. However, talking about the host nation, they might consider drafting either Tadiwanashe Marumani or Antum Naqvi instead of Innocent Kaia for the opening slot.
Talking about India's performance, skipper Shubman Gill criticized his side's fielding and said he should have stayed till the end to finish the match for his team.
"We bowled pretty well, we let ourselves down in the field. We were not up to standard and everyone looked a bit rusty. We spoke about taking time and enjoying our batting but it didn't pan out that way. Halfway through we had lost 5 wickets, would've been best for us if I stayed there till the end, very disappointed with the way I got out and the rest of the match panned out. There was a bit of hope for us but when you're chasing 115 and your no.10 batter is out there, you know something is wrong," Gill said.
The match went down till the very last over but it's Zimbabwe who win the 1st T20I.#TeamIndia will aim to bounce back in the 2nd T20I tomorrow.
