India Leveled T20 cricket series by 1-1

Zimbabwe were made score only 35 for 4 after the power play on the same deck they had made 170 score on only two ago. They decided to batting first after winning toss at Harare stadium. The pitch was being used for a third time on the tour, which give advantage to betting first and Zimbabwe get that advantage. If they had put a big enough total then situation may be difficult for the Indian team.  Zimbabwe could not find a single run off the bat in first nine balls.

Chamu Chibhabha comes on strike. He had found eight run out of 10 through boundaries.

But unluckily Ambati ayudu snapped up an excellent catch over his shoulder while running toward the boundary. Hamilton got his 1^st run off his seventh ball with a fearsome drive. And soon after this he heaved across the live and lost his middle stump. New batsman Sikandar Raza fell down when he obliged by steering his second ball to the fielder. Tinotenda Mutumbodzi was incorrectly judged lbw by umpire Russell Tiffin. The batsman was struck above the knee roll ad hawk eye suggested enough of the ball and pitched outside leg stump. Peter Moon brought in and he drive top scored with 31 run off 32 balls. His presence would give Zimbabwe hope but Dhoni played a mean trick. He well knows about the weak point of the opponent, and he calls the spinners to take under pressure batsman.

Now Bumrah has 24 wickets in 2016 most by any other bowler in the current year. Mandeep singh cruised to his maiden T20I fifty, but he could have been caught in the fifth over had Malcolm Waller  rushing forward from deep square leg and Taurai Muzarabani running back from short fine leg communicated better ad I the end ball fell between them and trickled to  four. Zimbabwe also missed a catch of Indian opener at the boundary. This match shows the very poor performance of Zimbabwe Team.
