First meeting after the 2024 tour

This will be India’s first tour of Zimbabwe since July 2024, when the two sides played a five-match T20I series. Since then, there have been changes in the personnel and approach of both teams, especially in the T20 format. Their most recent encounter came during the Super Eights stage of the T20 World Cup, where India registered an impressive 72-run win after posting a strong total.
