The ongoing three-match series marks a historic occasion, as it is the first time these two nations have met in women's T20 international cricket. In the first T20I, Smriti Mandhana's side emerged victorious by four wickets, but not without overcoming an early scare. India's top order struggled, collapsing to 19/4, before a crucial 82-run partnership between debutant Niki Prasad and seasoned all-rounder Deepti Sharma guided them to a four-wicket win while chasing 114 runs. Mandhana, who recently took over as India's full-time captain, will be eager for a more commanding performance from her squad in this second encounter.
Zimbabwe Women, despite their spirited bowling performance in the first T20I, will be looking to level the series and snap their 18-match T20I losing streak. Off-spinner Nyasha Gwanzura was particularly impressive, dismantling India's top three in the powerplay. The pitch in Raipur is expected to be good for batting, with dew likely to be a factor.
