Zimbabwe beat Team India by 13 runs in the first T20I

 

In the first of the five-match T20I series at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday, Team Zimbabwe beat India by 13 runs. The hosts bowled out the Shubman Gill-led side on 102 after posting 115/9.

Earlier, wrist-spinner Ravi Bishnoi claimed a career-best 4 for 13, while off-spin-allrounder Washington Sundar snapped 2 for 11 as Zimbabwe lost six wickets for 16 runs to slip to 90 for 9 inside 16 overs.

But wicketkeeper-batter Clive Madande held the fort with a fine cameo of 29 not out from 25 balls with an unbroken 25-run last wicket stand with Tendai Chatara.

India’s chase was an even bigger struggle, with the side getting bowled out for 102. This is the lowest total the Indian cricket team has failed to chase in a T20I game.
