34.2 - Bumrah to Mutumbami, FOUR, poor delivery. Bumrah for once loses his radar. Drifts down leg, Mutumbami leans forward, gets inside the line and flicks it behind square, middled it and the ball raced away to the boundary

27.3 - Barinder to Sibanda, FOUR, sloppy work from Fazal. Sran is not a happy man. Fuller and on off, Sibanda whips it across the line to the right of mid-on, Fazal slides but allows the ball to escape. He hurt his finger in the process, but stays on the field for now

24.4 - Chahal to Maruma, FOUR, finally, something for the fans to cheer about. A much needed boundary for Zimbabwe. They require plenty more of this. Flighted on off, Maruma sinks low and sweeps it over mid-wicket, couple of bounces and into the fence

8.1 - Barinder to Chibhabha, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Zimbabwe, this was full and well outside off, Chibhabha leans forward, plays with a closed face and drives it back past the non-striker, mid-off was squarer and he had no chance

8.0 - D Kulkarni to Sibanda, FOUR, cracking shot, a long half-volley from Kulkarni, Sibanda leans into the shot and sends it whistling through extra-cover, holds his poise as he watches it roll away to the fence

3.5 - D Kulkarni to Chibhabha, FOUR, lucky for Chibhabha, he was caught in two minds, makes a late call to let the length ball go through, the ball goes off the inside edge and rolls dangerously close to the leg-stump, beats Dhoni and races away to the fence

2.1 - Barinder to H Masakadza, FOUR, too short from Sran, can't bowl those at his pace. Masakadza plants his front-foot forward, swivels across and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary

1.1 - D Kulkarni to Chibhabha, FOUR, lovely shot, Kulkarni searches for swing, ends up overpitching outside off, Chibhabha leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and creams it past cover-point, off the mark with a boundary

25.1 - Barinder to Sibanda, SIX, fabulous shot! Short delivery and Sibanda takes full toll of it. Banged in halfway down, Sibanda transfers his weight onto the back foot and pulls it over deep square leg. There was a fielder but he could only see the ball sail over him

42.2 - D Kulkarni to Donald Tiripano, out Donald Tiripano Run Out!! Zimbabwe have been bowled out for a third consecutive time. The wicket just summarizes the Zimbabwe innings. There was never a run and Madziva pushed his partner through, only to find him short. Back of length around off, Tiripano ekes out an inside edge onto the pad, the ball drops adjacent to the wicket on the off-side, Madziva calls for the run. Kulkarni runs forward, collects the ball and hits timber at the bowler's end to catch Tiripano short. Donald Tiripano run out (D Kulkarni) 2(16)

36.4 - Bumrah to Mupariwa, out Caught by M Pandey!! Fourth wicket for Bumrah. Catching practice for Pandey. Fullish and outside off, Mupariwa goes for the drive, not much feet movement and the outside edge goes at a nice height to second slip. Pandey makes no mistake, grabs it comfortably. Mupariwa c M Pandey b Bumrah 1(9)

34.3 - Bumrah to Mutumbami, out Caught by Rahul!! Another one bites the dust. Bumrah has his third and the wickets keep tumbling. Terrific catch from Rahul. Fuller and outside off, Mutumbami is drawn into the push, the outside edge flies to the left of Rahul, who is standing at a wide slip position, he dives full length and clings on with both hands. Mutumbami c Rahul b Bumrah 4(3) [4s-1]

33.2 - Axar to Cremer, out Lbw!! Make it four in four. No wonder their supporters are disappointed with them. In a matter of four deliveries they have undone all the hard work. It was the arm-ball first up from Axar, skids on after pitching, Cremer went back to keep that out, but is beaten for pace and the ball strikes him in front of off-stump. One of the easiest decisions for umpire Ian Gould. Cremer lbw b Axar 0(1)

33.1 - Axar to M Waller, out M Waller Run Out!! What is going on? Three wickets in three balls. The hosts have lost the plot. It is now a procession. Slower and close to off, Waller pushes it towards cover-point and sets off, Mutumbami doesn't respond and by the time he did, Waller was almost at the bowler's end. Rahul collects the ball and throws it to Dhoni, who does the rest. There was a run and Mutumbami was ball-watching. M Waller run out (Rahul/Dhoni) 8(15)

33.0 - Bumrah to Chigumbura, out Caught by Dhoni!! Another golden duck for Chigumbura. Even in the last match, Chigumbura was out first ball. Dhoni also completes 350 ODI dismissals. Zimbabwe once again find themselves in trouble after a good start. Fuller and in the corridor of uncertainty, the ball straightens to take the outside edge, Dhoni dives low to his right to grasp it. Chigumbura c Dhoni b Bumrah 0(1)

32.5 - Bumrah to Maruma, out Bowled!! Castled! Bit too pacy for Maruma. Back of a length delivery that jags back in sharply, Maruma is rooted to the crease, is late to bring his bat down and when he does, it comes down at an angle, the inside edge goes on to uproot the off-stump. Zimbabwe keep losing wickets at regular intervals. Maruma b Bumrah 17(29) [4s-1]

28.4 - Chahal to Sibanda, out Caught&Bowled!! That's a dolly. The set batsman departs. Sibanda once again gets a start, but does not capitalize. Floated up on leg-stump, Sibanda leans forward to nudge it into the on-side, the bat face closed early and the leading edge lobbed back to Chahal. A wicket just when the partnership was starting to grow. Sibanda c and b Chahal 38(71) [4s-2 6s-1]

20.1 - Chahal to Chibhabha, out Caught by Bumrah!! Finally, a wicket for India. It was coming and it is Chibhabha, who has to walk back to the pavilion. Tossed up invitingly around off, Chibhabha takes the bait, shimmies down and gets a bit too close to the ball, lofts it towards long-off. Small boundaries would have fetched him a six, but not Harare, Bumrah takes it meters inside the rope. Chibhabha c Bumrah b Chahal 27(66) [4s-3]

5.3 - D Kulkarni to H Masakadza, out Caught by Rahul!! Masakadza has thrown his wicket away once again. He threatened to give the charge once again, Kulkarni saw him coming and hurled this one wider outside off, Masakadza could have let it go by, instead, he went chasing after that, gets a thick outside edge - straight to Rahul at first slip. He doesn't drop those, Zimbabwe have lost an early wicket once again. H Masakadza c Rahul b D Kulkarni 8(18) [4s-1]

7.0 - Barinder to Sibanda, 1 run, Chahal has dropped a sitter, a lucky reprieve for Sibanda, will he make India pay for it? Length delivery on his pads, he was looking to flick it behind square, closed the face of the bat a tad too early, gets a fat leading edge, high and towards mid-wicket. Chahal settled under it, went reverse cup and lets the ball burst through his hands

21.5 - Chibhabha to Faiz Fazal, FOUR, It's all over. India have wrapped up the series 3-0 and have completed the whitewash. Coming to the ball, this was shortish and sat up nicely for Fazal, who gets into a good position and nails the pulls to mid-wicket.

19.0 - Mupariwa to Faiz Fazal, FOUR, back to back boundaries for Fazal! Mupariwa bangs a short delivery on the stumps, Fazal swivels across and pulls it towards the fine leg fence. The fielder in the deep ran to his left, even put in the dive but the ball beat him to the fence

18.5 - Mupariwa to Faiz Fazal, FOUR, nicely played! Half-volley outside off, Fazal leans forward and creams the drive through extra cover. The ball races away to the fence in a jiffy

16.5 - Mupariwa to Faiz Fazal, FOUR, good length delivery and angled away, Fazal takes a small stride forward, leans into the shot and essays the punch straight down the ground. Despite the best efforts of the fielder at mid-on to hunt it down, it runs away to the fence

13.0 - Mupariwa to Rahul, FOUR, short and wide delivery, Rahul stays back and cuts it hard to the sweeper cover boundary

12.5 - Mupariwa to Rahul, FOUR, another marvellous stroke from the Karnataka lad. Good length delivery, but Mupariwa offers the width, Rahul prods forward and drives it more on the up to the sweeper cover fence

12.4 - Mupariwa to Rahul, FOUR, now that was a splendid straight drive from Rahul. It is a stroke that he is well known for in the Ranji Trophy. Fullish and on the stumps, Rahul, with a still head, gets his front foot out and cracks the drive into the downtown territories

9.4 - Neville Madziva to Rahul, FOUR, overpitched and and begging to be thwacked, Rahul waits fot it and brings out a sumptuous drive that vrooms away to the deep extra cover fence. He breached the gap between mid-off and cover with needlepoint perfection

8.4 - Mupariwa to Faiz Fazal, FOUR, half volley and outside off, Fazal gets well forward and cracks the drive all along the carpet to the deep extra cover fence

7.3 - Neville Madziva to Faiz Fazal, FOUR, with a concoction of timing and placement, Fazal crunches the drive to a fullish delivery and bisects the gap through the cover-region with perfection. It races away to the boundary boards

5.5 - Neville Madziva to Faiz Fazal, FOUR, top shot! First boundary for the debutant. Half-volley just outside off, Fazal leans forward, presents a full bat-face and drives it past mid-off, races away to the fence

21.3 - Chibhabha to Rahul, SIX, massive hit! Gets hold of this length delivery and hammers it over the long-on fence. It went a long way into the stands.

18.0 - Cremer to Faiz Fazal, SIX, this time, Fazal saunters down the track, takes it on the half-volley and cracks the lift into the downtown territories. It cleared the fence with ease

15.1 - Cremer to Rahul, SIX, Rahul skips down the track, gets close to the pitch of the ball and lofts it high and handsome for a maximum down the ground

20.1 - Donald Tiripano to Faiz Fazal, 1 run, short of length on the stumps, Fazal swivels and pulls it to fine leg, reaches his maiden ODI fifty. He raises his bat and acknowledges the applause from the dressing room.

18.1 - Mupariwa to Rahul, 1 run, a tad fuller and outside off, Rahul pushes it to point and picks up a quick single. With it, he also composes his first fifty in ODIs. Remember, he also crunched a well measured century in the first game
