ZIM vs IND Harare Pitch Report

Harare hosted the three ODIs against Bangladesh earlier this month, all largely low scoring, with 250 not being crossed even once. Winters in Zimbabwe would lead to a bit of moisture, which can make batting against the new ball slightly tricky. On a surface that’s usually good to bat, plenty of grass was rolled in for the final ODI, which Mehidy Hasan called a tricky surface good for bowling.

ZIM vs IND Match Weather Forecast

The weather at Harare will be pleasant with plenty of sunshine, with no cloud cover, and temperature ranging in the mid-20s.
