Sikandar Raza was the player of the match.
The target of 116 runs…and in the run chase, the world champion Indian team was all out at 102, that too against a team like Zimbabwe. This is surprising, but this is what happened in the first match of the India-Zimbabwe T20 series on Saturday. The Indian team, which won the T20 World Cup last week, lost by 13 runs, although there was no member of the world champion team in this team.
At Harare Sports Club, India’s young captain Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bowl and Zimbabwe scored 115 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Team India was all out for 102 runs in 19.5 overs. This is Zimbabwe’s third win over India. With this win, the host team took a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series.
This match reminded us of the match played 8 years ago in which India lost by 2 runs. Then captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not score 7 runs in the last over.
