Zimbabwe National Cricket Team skipper Sikandar Raza made a big goof-up at the toss of the last T20I against India National Cricket Team. The fifth T20I between the teams is taking place at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Sunday (14th July).

Even before the match started, Zimbabwe National Cricket Team skipper Sikandar Raza stole the limelight with his antics at the toss. As he spun the coin, he made the weird jump so that things went in his favor. The move worked as he won the toss and it came after he lost the 4 tosses on trot in the last 4 games.

Sikander Raza, who won the toss, had a worst moment at the toss as well. As the coin went up and came down in his favor, he came ahead to talk about his decision. However, he forgot the mic in overexcitement as he started speaking. Shubman Gill then came to the rescue as he handed the mic to Raza.

Here's the video:

Speaking at the toss, Sikandar Raza opted to field first and stated that the wicket will get better as the game progresses. He also mentioned that confidence in the team is high and they want to end the series on high. He elaborated:

"We are gonna have a bowl first. The wicket did get better. They will get better when we bat second. Not difficult at all, the motivation is there, the confidence is there and the skillset is there. We want to do well and finish the series on a high. Brandon Mavuta comes in. Chatara has been rested, he's played four games in a row and we have a Test match coming up."

On the other hand, Shubman Gill also expressed his desire to field first but mentioned that players are hungry. He talked about the changes as well and mentioned:

"We were looking to bat first anyway. Our spinners have bowled well and the fast bowlers have been economical. The players have been hungry. It's not easy to play back-to-back matches. A couple of changes. Mukesh Kumar and Parag come in."

Coming to the series, India National Cricket Team has already won the series after their three brilliant performances. Zimbabwe National Cricket Team started the series on high as they won the first game by 13 runs and after that visitors staged a dominant comeback. They won the three back-to-back games and would be keen to win the last game as well. The Sikander-led side on the other hand would want to finish the series on high and win their second match.
