July 10, 2015  17:49

Zim 56-2 (15 ovs) vs India 255-6 | Scorecard


Bhuvneshwar continues as the umpire signals for Powerplay 2, which basically means two fielders allowed outside the circle from overs 11-40.

The first loose delivery from the India pacer, drifting on the pads as Sibanda clips it past midwicket for a delightful four, the only scoring shot of the over.

India introduce spin as veteran Harbhajan Singh comes into the attack. Masakadza tries to sweep the second ball but is beaten but he pulls off the shot two balls later to get two runs and defends the rest of the over.

Change of ends for Binny as Sibanda comes down the track and lofts it straight down the ground for a six.

But Binny gets his revenge off the very next delivery as Sibanda (20) pulls a short ball straight into the hands of Harbhajan at mid-on.

Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura walks out to bat with his team needing a big partnership to get out of this early trouble.

Harbhajan starts his second over with a leg side wide to Masakadza which brings up Zimbabwe's 50, in the 14th over.

Five dot balls in a row from Bhajji before he keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Masakadza turns Binny to midwicket for a single before Chigumbura steers a full delivery on the pads fine for a four to take Zimbabwe to 56 for two in 15 overs, with exactly 200 runs needed from 35 overs for victory.
