India 74-2 (20 ovs) vs Zim | Scorecard

Rayudu throws his bat at a wide delivery but hits it straight to the fielder at point who fails to stop it cleanly and gives away a single. The wicketkeeper has come up to the stumps to prevent the Indian batsmen from using their feet.

The two Indian batsmen have struggled to rotate the strike which has made Zimbabwe's task easier.

Tiripano spoils a good over by bowling a half-volley on the pads to Rahane, who flicks it through midwicket for a much-needed four, his fourth of the innings.

Chibhabha continues to be tight, giving away another two runs, for good figures of five runs from his first three overs.

In the next over, Rahane plays a cracking straight drive past the bowler for a four. But Tiripano gets his revenge off the very next delivery with Rahane caught at first slip after scoring 34 from 49 balls.

Good captaincy from Chigumbura to have a fielder at slip, where Hamilton Masakadza took a superb catch with Rahane trying to steer one to the thirdman region.

Manoj Tiwary comes in at No. 4 and he gets off the mark with a single to the fine leg region.

Chibhabha finally loses his mark as he bowls a big wide down the leg side which beats the keeper to gift India five wides. There is an appeal for caught behind off the next ball down the leg side but the umpire rules it in the favour of Rayudu before he takes one from the next ball.

Tiripano over pitches as Rayudu flicks it past mid-on for another four and takes a single to take his score to 30.

India reach 74 for two in 20 overs, scoring at 3.70 per over on a pitch still offering some assistance to the pace bowlers.
