Zim 168-all out (49.5 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Bumrah shows why is so difficult to get away in the final overs as he bowls a string of good yorkers with both Cremer and Chigumbura getting only four singles in the 46th over.

In the next over, Cremer walks across his stumps and tries the paddle scoop but misses and is bowled for eight.

Kulkarni also picks a wicket in his final over to finish with two for 42 in 10 overs.

In the next over, Chigumbura (37) is caught at deep midwicket off Bumrah but the pacer has overstepped. So not only does Chigumbura get a lifeline but he also profits from a free-hit.

Tendai Chatara can't make most of the free hit as Bumrah bowls another yorker to keep it down to a single.

Even in the death overs, Zimbabwe are struggling to get the boundaries as India's bowlers continue to impress.

Chatara throws his bat at Sran, in the 49th over but fails to make connection for three deliveries in a row. He takes one from the fifth ball before Chigumbura pulls a slower bouncer on the leg side for two runs.

A good outing for Sran, who ends with two for 42 in 10 overs.

Bumrah strikes again in the final over. This time he bowls Chigumbura with the incoming delivery as he plays all over but misses to be dismissed after scoring 41 from 65 balls to add some respectability to Zimbabwe's total.

Chatara has a wild swing but ends up holing a high catch which is taken by Ambati Rayudu.

Bumrah finishes with career best figures of four for 28 as Zimbabwe are bowled out for a lowly 168 in 49.5 overs.

A disappointing batting performance by Zimbabwe as only Chigumbura (41) got past the 40-run mark, while Raza made 23 and Ervine scored 21.

For India, all their five bowlers were among the wickets with Bumrah taking 4-28, while fellow pacers Sran and Kulkarni claimed two wickets apiece and spinners Axar and Chahal took one each.
