ZIM vs IND: Pitch Report

The wicket in Harare is on the slower side. Seamers will extract bounce and movement from the new ball. However, batters can score when the ball is hard and new. Spinners will have a key role here, as the ball will grip and turn in the lateral stages. Traditionally, the team that has batted first has done well here, because the batting conditions will be tough in the second innings.
