Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal displayed impressive batting prowess to lead India to a decisive 42-run win against Australia. These Indian youngsters showed great resilience and character during this series.
Muzarabani returns to attack, castleing Jaiswal in the first ball but not being successful as it was no ball. Dot Balls quickly follow this over.
India National Cricket Team
India made full use of their challenging pitch, highlighted by Shubman Gill’s impressive innings and support from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Meanwhile, Clive Madande and Dion Myers kept Zimbabwe competitive for some time with their solid stand.
Indian bowling and fielding proved too much for Pakistan in this encounter; eventually they fell short by 23 runs to India in the end. With this victory, India cemented their dominance of the three-match series and signaled the arrival of a revamped team.
Mukesh Kumar finally found success as an economical bowler when he dismissed Innocent Kaia with one ball. Washington Sundar then hit Marumani but the umpire decided that was not out.
Zimbabwe National Cricket Team Performance
Zimbabwe and India cricket teams have long had a heated rivalry, meeting often over the years to produce some amazing moments of competition between them. That rivalry will likely intensify even further in 2024 when they meet for T20I matches against each other.
Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bat first, replacing Khaleel Ahmed with Riyan Parag and Mukesh Kumar with Brandon Mavuta. Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza noted that initially the wicket was slow and that he wanted his side to perform in all departments regardless of winning or losing.
Zimbabwean openers Wessly Madhevere and Dion Myers began their innings aggressively. Dion Myers put in some notable strokes against seamer Tushar Deshpande and wristspinner Ravi Bishnoi; for instance slamming him for four fours before cutting him again to reach fifty in only 37 balls! Both players donned black armbands as a show of solidarity with Zimbabweans who have left due to political persecution.
Team Match Scorecard
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza decided to bowl in order to secure a series win – his confidence proved correct as their batsmen did exactly as anticipated and secured victory for his side.
India openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhishek Sharma started off their innings strongly, taking singles off each ball of the over. Zimbabwe pacer Ngarava then responded with a Dot Ball; however, Jaiswal took advantage of that to reach 50 runs in 39 balls.
Rinku and Shivam begin the over with an unfortunate miscommunication that leads to them miscueing a shot and missing it by inches from hitting a boundary. Rinku then attempts a hard hit but instead hits himself on the back pad before running to third man for an easy catch.
Bishnoi takes his turn bowling. This over has seen tighter bowling from him as only singles have been scored by Campbell off his bat, before Bishnoi landed one that got rid of Campbell for a WICKET! India have an excellent opportunity to extend their lead. But first there needs to be an investigation.

How many times Zimbabwe beat India in Test?
Zimbabwe (previously Rhodesia) is an international cricket playing nation. With an extensive and proud cricketing heritage dating back to 1904 and ongoing until it achieved independence in 1980, Zimbabwe has participated in domestic tournaments sporadically between 1932-1946 in South Africa before transitioning into playing international competition.
India and Zimbabwe have met 66 ODI times so far, winning 54 and losing 10, with 10 draws occurring between them.
Zimbabwe are out to prove themselves after failing to qualify for the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup and their recent three ODI series against India where they were thoroughly defeated. Led by Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe are hoping that Blessing Muzarabani and Tendai Chatara return from injury which should boost their performances going forward while India must do everything they can to limit Zimbabwe. Bowlers such as Barinder Sran, Jasprit Bumrah and Amit Mishra are essential in helping India’s chances of victory against them both teams.
Final words
Indian cricket quickly rebounded after its shocking loss in the opening T20I against Zimbabwe with an emphatic 10-wicket victory in game two of their T20 series with Zimbabwe, sealing an emphatic series win with an outstanding 10-wicket defeat of Zimbabwe in game two. Shubman Gill led from the front with an outstanding 93 off 53 balls while Sanju Samson contributed with a quickfire 58, Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar also excelled as spinners.
Zimbabwe achieved the lowest total ever scored by any team in ODI cricket history – beating Sri Lanka’s previous mark of 35 runs against Netherlands in 2023 by scoring no runs at all during their innings against them. Their batting was practically nonexistent during this match as all their wickets fell within 18 overs of play.
Zimbabwe’s domestic cricket suffered from a precipitous decline after the Logan Cup was cancelled in 2006. Internal politics led to player exodus and economic collapse affecting stadium attendances; international cricket matches had to be abandoned or postponed because of Zimbabwe’s political turmoil; this ultimately lead to suspension from the International Cricket Council (ICC) as well as applying for political asylum abroad.
