Bad pitch and then the toss: Sikandar Raza blames the Harare wicket after thrashing by India in first T20I

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza criticized the Harare Sports Club pitch after a seven-wicket loss to India in the first T20I.

Zimbabwe was bowled out for 125/7 after being put into bat, with India chasing the target in 13.2 overs.

India's pacer Mayank Yadav took a wicket off the first ball of the match.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 50 off 19 balls to lead India's chase.

Raza noted that the pitch remained moist for 8-12 overs, aiding movement, and hoped for a better wicket in the second T20I on Saturday.
