India 69-1 (20 ovs) vs Zim 168 | Scorecard


Elton Chigumbura comes into the attack. Rayudu drives a full toss to sweeper cover for one before Rahul chops a short ball over point for two runs and then sees off the rest of the over.

Rayudu takes a couple of steps down the track to Chibhabha, who has troubled him with some movement but the pacer continues to keep it tight.

Chigumbura gifts Rayudu a wide half-volley who manages to release the pressure by crashing it through point for a four. Four more singles helps India bring up their 50-run mark, in the 17th over.

Rahul hits another boundary in Chigumbura's next over, cutting a short ball past point for a four and gets two from the next ball fine on the leg side.

Rayudu plays a beautitful drive through the covers but gets two runs and he repeats the shot off the last ball, this time with slightly better timing, for a four to get 15 runs from the over.

At the other end, Chibhabha has been quite with the ball conceding just nine runs from six overs.

India are in complete control of the run chase at the moment, as they reach 69 for one in 20 overs, with exactly 100 needed from 30 overs for victory.

Rahul has looked good, scoring 36 from 51 balls, while Rayudu has shaken off a nervy start to reach 22 from 49 ablls.
