Pre-match:
Seven winless games and two back-to-back T20I series defeats later, T20 World Cup champions India make the trip to Zimbabwe for a three-match series.
India are yet to win a game under the new T20I skipper Shreyas Iyer while there's plenty of questioning surrounding both the batting and bowling setups.
The spotlight will remain on 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is expected to open the batting in this series in the absence of Sanju Samson.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe won't be a pushover this time around. They boast a strong fast bowling attack led by Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani, while talisman all-rounder Sikandar Raza will do the heavy lifting with both the bat and his off-spin.
Can Zimbabwe inflict a third-consecutive T20I series defeat for the Men in Blue?
