Toss Zimbabwe opt to bowl vs India

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza's luck with the toss finally changed in the fifth T20I against India in Harare, where he won the coin flip for the first time in the series with a brand-new technique. He said Zimbabwe would bowl first, expecting the pitch to get better for batting later.

"Knowing our wickets, I think they'll keep getting better," Raza said at the toss. "The motivation is there, the confidence is there, the skillset is there. We want to finish the series on a high."

The hosts made one change, resting Tendai Chatara after his four outings on the trot in the day games, and also with one eye on the Test match against Ireland on July 25. Brandon Mavuta, his replacement, will have his first outing of the series.
India captain Shubman Gill said the visitors wanted to bat first anyway and announced two changes. Mukesh Kumar replaced Khaleel Ahmed on the bowling front, while Riyan Parag returned in place of Ruturaj Gaikwad in the middle order.

"I think our spinners have bowled really well. So have our fast bowlers in the powerplay, they've been very economical," Gill said. "[Enjoyed seeing] how hungry the players have been. Not easy playing back-to-back games, but players have been hungry, especially after losing the first game."

India are aiming to complete a 4-1 series win. Zimbabwe will want to bookend the series with a second win following their victory in the opening fixture of the tour.

This match also offers a final chance for those looking to make a mark ahead of India's next set of T20Is away in Sri Lanka starting July 27. The squad for that three-game series, and the three ODIs that will follow, has not yet been announced.

Zimbabwe: 1 Wessly Madhevere, 2 Tadiwanashe Marumani, 3 Brian Bennett, 4 Sikandar Raza (capt), 5 Johnathan Campbell, 6 Dion Myers, 7 Clive Madande (wk), 8 Faraz Akram, 9 Blessing Muzarabani, 10 Richard Ngarava, 11 Brandon Mavuta.

India: 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2 Shubman Gill (capt), 3 Abhishek Sharma, 4 Riyan Parag, 5 Sanju Samson (wk), 6 Rinku Singh, 7 Shivam Dube, 8 Washington Sundar, 9 Ravi Bishnoi, 10 Tushar Deshpande, 11 Mukesh Kumar.
