Zim 54-1 (15 ovs) vs India 276-5 | Scorecard


Bhuvneshwar, who has good figures of 5-1-10-0, will continue. An as usual he comes up with another tight over, giving away just two runs to keep up the pressure on Zimbabwe in the early overs.

Binny is taken off after just one over and he makes way for off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. He makes a tidy start, giving away just two singles.

Change of ends for Binny as he takes over from Bhuvi, who bowled an excellent first spell of six overs for 12 runs. Chakabva attempts a quick single to Jadhav at mid-on, who misses the direct hit with the batsman struggling to make his ground at the non-striker's end.

Binny looks to have made up for a poor first show but the last ball ruins it. a half-volley on the pads is flicked over midwicket by Chibhabha for his fourth boundary to take his score to 31.

Harbhajan bowling with a slip in place and a leg gully and Zimbabwe's batsmen are content to play with caution, picking two singles from his second over.

Binny finally gets it right as he comes up with a maiden over to make up for two below-par overs at the start.

Zimbabwe finding it hard to find some momentum as they reach 54 for one in 15 overs, needing 223 runs from 35 overs for victory at an asking rate of 6.37.
