IND vs ZIM 5th T20I
Transcript
00:00The 5th T20 International of India's Tour of Zimbabwe 2024 was played at the Harare
00:17Sports Club in Zimbabwe's capital city.
00:20Welcome to the highlights.
00:23Same pitch was used in this match as in the 4th T20.
00:27There's a cover of grass and some cracks in it.
00:30Perfect pitch for batters.
00:33Zimbabwean captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and asked the Indian team to bat first.
00:42Indian side with two changes.
00:43Riyan Farag and Mukesh Kumar come in for Uttaraj Gaikwad and Khalil Ahmed.
00:50Hosts also have a change in their playing eleven.
00:53London Mavuta comes in for Tendai Chattara.
01:24It's going to be in a boat very quickly.
01:28Just feels like he's started off where he left off last evening and in swinger attempted
01:35from Raza but it was a full toss hip high and a no ball as well.
01:42And Jaiswal starts off with a sixer.
01:46Now it's a free hit on offer.
01:53Down the ground he goes again.
01:57Out of the egg she goes.
01:59Another six.
02:00What a start.
02:06Actual fact it was a front foot no ball.
02:10Ball in.
02:13Got him.
02:17Oh that's a big blow.
02:19Big wicket for Zimbabwe.
02:22Jaiswal gone for twelve.
02:25Arbik Sharma, Arbik Shekhar beg your pardon.
02:28Look at that strike rate.
02:33And that gets the punishment it deserves.
02:38You cannot with that bowling pace bowl the ball in the middle of the wicket.
02:45I'm pretty surprised with this move.
02:49Oh that is just caressed with absolute ease for four.
02:56Brilliant brilliant stroke.
02:58Wow.
02:59I just love it.
03:03Goes again this time as the beating of the players in the circle there.
03:08The third man's in the circle.
03:09He's not up it goes between him and backward point.
03:15There's a catch.
03:16Yes.
03:17Big outside edge.
03:18Nick lucky for him.
03:20Not too expensive.
03:23Zimbabwe strikes.
03:24Arbik Shekhar Sharma.
03:26He's always going to give you an opportunity.
03:29Thirty-eight for two now is India.
03:37At a back of a length consistently this over and gets the reward finally.
03:43Coming down the track but only managing an edge to the keeper this time was Arbik Shekhar Sharma.
03:48India lose their second.
03:50Arbik Shekhar Sharma goes for fourteen.
03:52Sanju Samson in.
03:53He was part of that World Cup winning squad.
03:59This is guarding the air.
04:00Should be out.
04:01Gallus gone.
04:02Sadhvi Kadad.
04:07Steps out and smashes him for six.
04:11That is what Sanju Samson is capable of.
04:13He has his first boundary.
04:20Got into a great position.
04:21That is massive.
04:23On the roof of the Harare Sports Club.
04:26Riyan Parag has six for the first time in international cricket.
04:35That is out of here.
04:39The roof has been kept busy at Harare.
04:41This time is it Samson.
04:49Up and over.
04:50Gorgeous and six.
04:56Full range of shots.
04:58That is a stylish way to bring up the 50 of the partnership from Sanju Samson.
05:06Call for catch.
05:07Fielders running in.
05:10And then Gorama holds on.
05:14Parag's fun is over.
05:16The change of ends works for Mavuta.
05:19That is an important partnership broken by Zimbabwe.
05:23Dropped a couple today Zimbabwe.
05:25A couple of important catches.
05:28And here Brandon Mavuta gets the better of Sanju Samson.
05:36Parag gone.
05:37My mistake.
05:38Parag's gone.
05:39Excellent catch from Gorama.
05:41Good piece of bowling from the leg spinner.
05:43Parag gone for 22.
05:48Dube goes big.
05:51And Dube gets six.
05:55Spin hitting specialist on display.
06:06Looking for the second.
06:07And that should be his second international half century Sanju
06:13Samson.
06:14His first innings of note on tour here in Zimbabwe.
06:18This one is in the air.
06:20Marumani takes an outstanding catch running off the deep
06:24boundary.
06:25And this was exactly what he was looking for.
06:28To break this partnership.
06:30But most importantly get rid of Sanju Samson.
06:33And a good catch from Marumani.
06:36Accounts for Sanju Samson.
06:41Good innings of 58 from Sanju.
06:45India lose the fifth for 135.
06:4915 deliveries remain for this man, Rinku Singh.
06:56He's going to have to deal with Zarabani.
06:58He's going to have to deal.
07:03Smashed through the offside.
07:05There was just a bit of whiff.
07:11Oh, now low full toss.
07:14And it's gone to the top of the grandstand.
07:18Just what the doctor ordered for India.
07:27This is exactly the length that he desired.
07:32In the air.
07:33Oh, he's put it down.
07:35Confusion, run out opportunity.
07:39It will be a wicket anyway.
07:45Dubey gone for 26.
07:50It's gone up.
07:51And it's gone all the way.
07:59This time around in the slot.
08:01And flexes his muscles.
08:05And India get their 11th six.
08:12And it goes fine.
08:14It's going to run away into the boundary.
08:16Probably be signalled as leg buys.
08:18Yes.
08:20India won't mind.
08:22So Zimbabwe to finish off the series on high.
08:26Will require 168 runs of their 20 overs.
08:30The batting looked good yesterday.
08:32And they can carry on from there today.
08:35Slip in position.
08:37Quite an attacking field.
08:42A little bit of away movement there.
08:47Chopped it on.
08:49First wicket.
08:54And Madhavere is gone for naught.
08:58Zimbabwe's had a tough start.
09:00Madhavere gone.
09:01Zimbabwe one for one.
09:04That's beautifully played as well.
09:07Full straight and just helped it on its way.
09:12Udesh Pandey.
09:14I think he's looking for outswing.
09:18That's cut away.
09:20Beautiful stroke.
09:21He waited for that.
09:22Got the width.
09:23Thank you very much.
09:26Up and over.
09:28But out.
09:31Right now the front of third man.
09:37He got it finer than he wanted.
09:40He's looking for a proper hard hit over backward point.
09:44But it's taken the outside edge and it's flown all the way to
09:48third man.
09:49Zimbabwe lose their second wicket and are two for 15.
09:53Joining Marumane at the crease.
09:59Works around.
10:00Off his hips.
10:03And what a way to open your count.
10:09That will go for four.
10:11Got the width and got the necessary treatment.
10:19Turns around.
10:20Same result.
10:22Marumane is having some fun against Bishnoi.
10:29Up and over.
10:31Inside out.
10:34Has the legs to go for four.
10:3816 of Bishnoi's over.
10:43That will race away as well.
10:45More of an edge than the middle of the bat.
10:48This is a better chance.
10:54This time Washington Sundar has the umpire raise his finger.
10:59He's had an excellent series.
11:01Boy did India need that.
11:04Zimbabwe's turn to deliberate on the review.
11:07But Marumane walks.
11:09The last one was quicker.
11:11This one much slower through the air.
11:15And he was early on the shot.
11:18Marumane may be a bit high as well.
11:20But didn't opt for the review.
11:23Washington Sundar has the breakthrough.
11:25He breaks this partnership.
11:27And Marumane has to finally go.
11:29He made 27.
11:31Zimbabwe 59-3.
11:35Pivotal period of play.
11:37With Sikandar Raza walking out.
11:43Washington Sundar.
11:48Something was going to give.
11:50And that is majestic from Myers.
11:53Takes on Abhishek Sharma.
11:56That is the first six of the innings.
12:02Thick outside edge.
12:04It's running away towards the boundary.
12:06It's the big boundary.
12:07But it will make it.
12:09I would like to think that Dion Myers there has got...
12:16Gone.
12:17He's cramped in for room.
12:19And you could just sense that something had to give.
12:23And it's Dion Myers.
12:27And Dubé kept thumping the ball into the deck.
12:29So he couldn't hit it off the front foot.
12:31Good piece of bowling again from Dubé.
12:36And that's a fatal mistake for Dion Myers, unfortunately.
12:39He was looking good.
12:41He was doing the right sort of job for the Zimbabwe batting team.
12:45But he's gone for 34.
12:47And Zimbabwe have lost their fourth wicket for 85.
12:53Oh, no.
12:55These two.
12:58Now, has that ball hit the stumps?
13:01It has.
13:02And he's out.
13:03I cannot believe this.
13:05That Raza ran Jonathan Campbell out.
13:09I'm satisfied.
13:10I'm ready to make my decision.
13:11And I'm afraid.
13:14Has been run out.
13:19Have the hopes of Zimbabwe gone with him.
13:21Eight from 12.
13:2287 now for five.
13:26Swung away.
13:27But there's a fielder back.
13:30Jonathan Campbell has picked the only fielder.
13:37Within 40 metres of where he's headed.
13:39Comfortable catch.
13:41Tough, tough series for Jonathan Campbell.
13:44Dubé doing the basics.
13:46Not giving them any hits off the front foot.
13:51Jonathan Campbell, he's gone for four.
13:55And he's gone for seven.
13:57For tortuous seven balls.
14:03Hello.
14:05Faraz Akram.
14:08How simple did he make that look?
14:13There he goes.
14:15Another wicket down.
14:19And now the Zimbabweans are perishing.
14:24And now the Zimbabweans are perishing.
14:29Comfortable catch for Sanju Samson.
14:33And within ten runs, Zimbabwe have lost four wickets.
14:37The latest to fall.
14:39He goes for one.
14:42He's picked that one up.
14:44And it's gone the whole way.
14:51This is in the air.
14:54Will it go all the way?
14:56Yes, it does.
14:58Beautifully picked up.
15:00Akram's playing here.
15:02A little too late, I think, at this stage.
15:09He's come inside it.
15:11And played it over.
15:13Down to fine leg.
15:17Well, well, well.
15:20We know something else that we don't know, Mr. Mukund.
15:26There is some life in this game, according to Faraz Akram.
15:33Almost a fumble.
15:37Gets his first wicket.
15:39Well done.
15:41To catch that, he's followed through.
15:43Eight down, Zimbabwe now.
15:49And gets a simple return catch, which he almost fumbled.
15:53But took it on the second attempt.
15:58Mavuta has to go for four.
16:00Zimbabwe 120 for eight.
16:03That's gone.
16:05Good night, goodbye, God bless.
16:07There we go.
16:09Eight wicket down.
16:12Coming from over the wicket this time around.
16:16And asking Faraz Akram to fetch one from wide outside of stump.
16:22Outside edge.
16:24We're seeing a procession here.
16:30Fortunately Faraz Akram has to go for 27 of 13 deliveries.
16:34Zimbabwe 123 for nine.
16:38The end of the match.
16:40Middle stump out of the ground.
16:44For Mukesh Kumar.
16:46India victorious now by 42 runs.
16:50They got 267.
16:53And Zimbabwe got themselves into a situation.
16:57But not to be comprehensively castled.
17:01Middle stump out of the ground.
17:04After dropping the first game in the series, India have come back sensationally.
17:09So, that's the match summary.
17:13And India winning by 42 runs.
17:15Let's go downstairs for the flash interview.
17:34So, India, young India, new India, young captain Shubman Gill.
17:38Just two players over 30 in this squad.
17:41They have beaten Zimbabwe 4-1.
17:44Little wake up call in the series opener.
17:46International cricket is challenging in its own way.
17:51Never expected to win with the pressures for a young side.
17:54The first international series after India's victorious T20 World Cup campaign.
