India sent Abhishek Sharma and the 15-year old prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi out to bat first. Abhishek made 8 runs from five balls, while Sooryavanshi played with another aggressive approach following his record-breaking fifty in the first T20I match. However, Zimbabwe were quick to dismiss both the openers which slowed down the momentum of India's attack. This resulted in India adopting an approach of recovery with the middle-order taking control after this double hit by Zimbabwe.
After that, the two managed to get back in control. They turned the strike and upped the pace, with Kishan hitting boundaries against Sikandar Raza, as well as both of them scoring another fruitful over against Newman Nyamhuri. Zimbabwe even had a caught-behind claim against Iyer but did not opt for a review. In terms of scores, Kishan had an unbeaten 40 from 23 balls, while Iyer was unbeaten on 25 off 19 balls. The team had scored 95/2 in 9.5 overs at 9.66 runs per over.
