4:48 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Raza walks back

 

The last man giving a fight, Sikandar Raza too has to walk back as he tried to hit a six to the longest part, deep square leg. Pandy bowled a slower ball and hence the power that Raza needed, could not be generated. India are now just one wicket away from a win. Raza scored a 24-ball 34

Tony Munyonga, who was played in place of Milton Shumba in this game has failed once again and has been cleaned up by Mohammed Shami as Zimbabwe get five down for only 37 runs on the board.

 

4:00 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Another one goes down

 

Craig Ervine had gotten a free hit on the ball prior to the one on which he got out. But he could not utilise that and eventually got one high on the bat it rose up after hitting the bat and Pandya caught a late one to get a caught and bowled to his name. In seven overs, Zimbabwe are four down now 

 

3:54 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Nothing shot gets Williams

 

After having got a chance off the last ball, Sean Williams swung hard at this one too, but it was not a bouncer, but a length ball and it carried straight to third-man where Bhuvneshwar Kumar took an easy catch to dismiss the batter. The powerplay ends with Zimbabwe three down for 28 

 

3:52 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: First six of the innings

 

Six!! So the first six of the innings has come about for Zimbabwe, but it was not a convincing one by any means as Williams was hurried by the Mohammed Shami bouncer and he just pulled, gt a thick edge which flew over deep fine leg for a six 

 

3:47 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Zimbabwe crawling back

 

After a very hazardous start for Zimbabwe in which they lost two quick wickets and hardly scored anything, a 20 runs partnership has been stitched by the experienced pairing of skipper Craig Ervine and Sean Williams. 

 

3:43 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: No doubt in that

3:38 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: The last one was not a maiden

3:33 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Zimbabwe 2-2

 

Wicket!! It has been a brilliant start by Team India as they have given away just two runs and taken two wickets in the first two overs. While the first one was caught by Kohli, this one was a dream left-arm pace bowler’s delivery as it came back in after pitching and hit the off-stump of Regis Chakabva 

 

3:31 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: First runs for Zimbabwe

 

The first runs that have come Zimbabwe’s way are from a wide and a single taken on a rough collection of that wide by Rishabh Pant behind the stumps

Final Score

3:16 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: 21 runs from the last over

 

Suryakumar Yadav played a ramp shot from every position possible in the crease as he hit 21 runs in the last over to take his team to 186/5 at the end of 20 overs. Courtesy of Surya’s 25-ball 61, India managed to score 79 runs in the last five overs. 

 

3:09 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: No stopping Surya, even after Pandya's wicket

Pandya

3:06 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Pandya gone, 4 balls remaining

 

Hardik Pandya’s poor run with the bat continues as he has hit a wide low full toss to Blessing Muzarabani who has caught it well to give Zimbabwe its fifth wicket 

 

3:02 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Surya is just unbelievable

Surya

3:01 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Zimbabwe lost in strategy

 

It is very difficult to know why neither Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams and Wellington Masakadza were allied to complete their quota of overs. They were bowling really well. But just because 15 overs were done, the spinners were removed. That is not logical

 

2:57 PM

IND vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: 150 up for India, 1000 T20I runs in 2022 for Surya
