BackSmriti Mandhana has lifted two WPL trophies with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and now she gets India.
On Friday, she leads the side out in Raipur as full-time captain, with Harmanpreet Kaur still in the squad after handing over the armband and Shafali Verma installed as her deputy.
India come into this as Asian Games champions, having defended their title in Aichi-Nagoya last month, and Mandhana brings 11 wins from 18 T20Is in charge.
Zimbabwe will see a side in transition and fancy their chance to catch it mid-handover.
India should win the opener and take control of the series. They have quality, depth and all the things going in their favour. Zimbabwe has a side in transition and it would be an uphill task for them to dislodge India.
