Zimbabwe vs India, 1st T20I, Zimbabwe won by 13 runs
Harare, July 6 (UNI) In a thrilling spectacle at the Harare Sports Club, Zimbabwe staged a sensational upset, defeating India by 13 runs in a nail-biting encounter on Saturday. India vs Zimbabwe, 1st T20I - Live Cricket Score
The drama unfolded when India, tasked with chasing 116 runs, stumbled disastrously from the start. Debutant Abhishek Sharma fell for no runs, caught at deep mid-wicket by a deceptive delivery from Brian Bennett. Concerns were compounded with the quick exit of fellow debutant Ryan Parag, throwing India's batting lineup into disarray. India vs Zimbabwe, 1st T20I - Live Cricket Score
Amidst the chaos, Shubman Gill emerged as the lone beacon of hope, top-scoring with a determined 31 off 29 balls. However, his valiant efforts were overshadowed by the lack of sufficient support from the other side. Zimbabwe's Tendai Chatara (3/16) and skipper Sikandar Raja (3/25) wreaked havoc, breaking India's chase with surgical precision.
With wickets falling like dominoes, India are on the brink of 84-8 by the end of the 16th over. Washington mounted a splendid lone resistance, scoring 27 off 34 balls. The equation needed 16 runs with just one wicket in hand in the last over - a daunting task that proved overwhelming.
In the climactic last over, Sundar's heroic effort was heartbroken. He was caught off the bowling of Blessing Mujarabani at backward square leg and died off the last ball to seal a thrilling victory for Zimbabwe.
Earlier in the day, Zimbabwe's own batting ordeal saw them struggle to 115, stifled by a devastating four-wicket haul from Ravi Bishnoi (4/13). Despite promising starts from Wesley Madhvere (21 off 22) and Dion Myers (23 off 22), Zimbabwe failed to capitalize on their partnership.
The victory is a watershed moment for Zimbabwean cricket, a testament to their resilience and tenacity. The Harare fans erupted in ecstatic celebrations, rejoicing in their team's hard-earned win against the mighty Indian side.
India, on the other hand, will regret their missed opportunities and poor partnership. The defeat served as a stark reminder of the tough challenges their young team faces on the international stage, a call to regroup and strengthen their resolve for the battle ahead.
