Raza Admits Batting Blame After India's T20I Rout

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza has accepted blame for his team's batting difficulties during the T20I series against India. Following a significant 90-run loss in the second T20I in Harare, where Zimbabwe was dismissed for 129 after India posted 220, Raza acknowledged his role. He noted that despite a strong start from the opening batsmen, the middle order collapsed due to inexperience and questionable shot selection. Raza specifically highlighted his own recent performance, which has seen him record three consecutive single-digit scores. "My team needs my runs and bowling, and unfortunately it hasn't been the case," Raza stated, emphasizing his commitment to improving his form. With the final T20I approaching, Zimbabwe is determined to avoid a series whitewash, and Raza is focused on rediscovering his batting prowess to inspire a turnaround.
