With three T20Is, the action turns to Grange. There is no information on the squads, as expected, but it is commonly assumed that Zim will field a 'Masakadja-Rajput XI.' Match at 6 pm IST.
In terms of statistics, we won the only T20I match between these two teams, which was the T20I World Cup (when I met Raza for the first time and he gave me his shirt), where Wellington rose to prominence and got (if I'm not mistaken) his first player of the match award.
In ODIs, the teams are more evenly matched, with Zimbabwe missing an opportunity in 2017 when the series was tied at 1-1. The highlights of this series were Williams, Cremer (5-fer), Waller 92, and Raza's undefeated 50. They next met in the 2018 World Cup Qualifier in Byo, where, after qualifying to the Super Six stage, they faced off in a nail-biter, with Muzarabani-Taylor holding their nerve to defend one off the final over amid wild celebrations to save the match from defeat. During the series, Lady Cremer (who was more trustworthy than CricInfo) captured the moment. Relive the thrills.

Isn’t it stupid playing Chatara if we are testing key players for experience?
That defies both logical positions

Just tuned in to the YouTube stream and how soothing it is to hear the old school commentary from Houghton, specially in these days of blaring over-excited shoutfest...

At least it is clear from his commentary that he keenly follows the guys in the current team too, and their strengths and weaknesses.

That was a tricky catch. Well done. Wellington is definitely one of the safest and quickest guys we have in the field.
