Tino Mawoyo @ pitch report
Slight covering of grass. It would dry out quickly. The surface won’t change much. Good batting wicket. 150 is the average score at Harare in the last 10-12 games, but I don’t think that would be enough for this deck.
Sikandar Raza | Player of the Match and Zimbabwe Captain
Feel really happy about the win. Need to take one game at a time. The job is not done, and the series is not over. World champions play like world champions, so we need to be ready for the next game. This isn’t a wicket where you get bowled out for 115. Credit to the bowlers on both sides. Clearly, this is an indication we need to up our skills. I said I didn’t care about the result as long as we could be true to the crowd and changing room. We had our plans, stuck to them, and backed our guys. Our catching and ground fielding was amazing, but we made some errors, which shows there’s room for improvement. We knew the fans would lift us up and give us energy; credit to them, it helped us.
Shubman Gill | India Captain
We bowled pretty well, and we let ourselves down in the field. So we were not up to standard, and everyone looked a bit rusty. We spoke about taking time and enjoying our batting, but it didn’t pan out that way. Halfway through, we had lost five wickets, and it would’ve been best for us if I had stayed there till the end. Very disappointed with the way I got out, and the rest of the match panned out. There was a bit of hope for us, but when you’re chasing 115, and your no.10 batter is out there, you know something is wrong.

Just wanted to play throughout the innings and tried to get as many as we could. Tried to protect my partner and ended up getting 115, which was okay on this wicket. Told him (Chatara) simple things. I tried to let him play just 2 balls in an over. We told the boys to give it our all and to give our 100% no matter what.
