June 18, 2016  19:02


India 69-3 (10 ovs ) vs Zim 170-6 | Scorecard

Part-time off-spinner Sikandar Raza comes into the attack. He starts with three dot balls to Mandeep before three singles come from the last three balls of the over.

Chibhabha slips one down the leg side which Mandeep flicks past short fine leg for a four and gets two runs from the next ball to midwicket.

But Chibhabha strikes again in his next over. Mandeep looks to play the inside out lofted shot but gets it off the inside half of the bat as Mutumbodzi comes up with a brilliant catch diving forward at long-on.

Mandeep walks back for 31 to leave India in trouble at 53 for three in the eighth over.

Two new batsman out in the middle for India in Pandey and Kedar Jadhav, both of them didn't get to bat in the ODI series. Infact, Pandey faced just one delivery in the three matches while Jadhav didn't face a single ball.

India need a partnership from the two batsmen and set up things in the final few overs for the lower order which also includes captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Raza bowling to his field without trying much and has given away just eight runs in his two overs.

Spin from both ends now as captain and leg-spinner Graeme Cremer comes into the attack. With the required run rate going above 10, India will need to take a few risks and keep things under control.

Pandey goes after Cremer straight away as he lofts the first ball straight back over his head for a six. But the leggie does well to give away just three runs from the rest of the over.

India are 69 for three in 10 overs, needing 102 from the remaining 10 overs for victory.
