Zim 145-7 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Binny comes back for his second spell. He gets the wicket of Charles Coventry, who is trapped leg before wicket for four. It turns out to be a good over under the circumstances, giving away four runs while getting the wicket of Coventry to check Zimbabwe's charge.

Infact, Chibhabha nearly lost his wicket as the leading edge just about managed to evade Rahane in the covers.

Bhuvneshwar has been pretty effective in the death overs and Rahane calls him yet again to do the job. He mixes his pace and length quite well and concedes just five runs, in the 17th over.

But Mohit starts his third over with a length ball on the stumps which Chibhabha heaves on the leg side for a four.

Two balls later, Craig Ervine lofts another length delivery over mid-off for a four as Mohit goes for 11 runs in the over.

Zimbabwe again lose a wicket just when they were starting to get a bit of momentum. It is the key wicket of Chibhabha, who is beaten by a superb yorker from Bhuvneshwar and is bowled after a good innings of 67 from 51 balls.

In the same over, Bhuvi ends Ervine's innings with another unplayable yorker which beats the left-hander and crashes into the stumps.

A wide down the leg side gifts Zimbabwe five extra runs and spoils his figures somewhat as Bhuvi ends with good figures of two for 26 in his four overs.

Mohit starts the final over in perfect fashion, a full yorker outside the off-stump, which beats Malcolm Waller. The next ball is a slower ball which the right-hander drives down to long-off for just a single.

Mohit bowls a slower bouncer which Prosper Utseya mishits on the leg side and Axar takes a good catch diving forward at deep midwicket.

Just four runs from the final over as Zimbabwe finish on 145 for seven in their 20 overs.
