D Kulkarni to Cremer, FOUR, positive batting from Cremer, banged in short and just outside off, doesn't rise as much as Cremer expected. Cremer rocks back, rolls his wrists and pulls it in front of square on the on-side, rolls away to the fence
42.5 -
Barinder to Mutumbami, FOUR, that has been smashed! Length delivery outside off, Mutumbami gets a big stride forward and drills it back past the non-striker. Mid-off was inside the ring and had no chance
39.3 -
Bumrah to Mutumbami, FOUR, lovely shot, width on offer from Bumrah, Mutumbami gets on top of the bounce and cracks it over backward point, rolls away to the fence in quick time
31.1 -
D Kulkarni to S Raza, FOUR, what a shot! Not the welcome Dhawal would have wanted in his second spell. Just short of a good length and outside off, enough time for Raza to go on the back foot and he pulls it fiercely over mid-wicket, no need to run for those as it hit the fence like a tracer bullet
28.3 -
Chahal to Chigumbura, FOUR, edged and doesn't carry to slip. Flatter, quicker and spinning away outside off, Chigumbura just hangs his bat at it, the outside edge is found but it falls short of Rahul at slip, who doesn't get down in time to stop it, the ball brushes his fingertips and runs away to the fence
27.1 -
Axar to S Raza, FOUR, no slip in place and it cost India a boundary. This was floated up outside off, enticing the batsman to drive. Raza throws the kitchen sink at it and the outside edge flies through the vacant slip region and runs away to the fence
12.0 -
Barinder to C Ervine, FOUR, that is slapped. Short and outside off, instead of going over the off-side field. Ervine flat-bats it over the bowler. Just stood and dismissed it from his presence
8.1 -
D Kulkarni to H Masakadza, FOUR, poor delivery that has been dealt with. Masakadza getting a move on for Zimbabwe. Full and on the pads, Masakadza leans forward to play the pick up shot, slots it over mid-wicket to collect his second boundary
7.4 -
Barinder to H Masakadza, FOUR, there's the first boundary of the innings. Took Zimbabwe eight overs to get it. Short and at the body, Masakadza doesn't bother to rock back, pulls it off the front foot over square leg
49.5 -
Bumrah to Chatara, out Caught by Rayudu!! Zimbabwe have been bowled out for 168. This was pitched up on the stumps, Chatara backed away on the hoick, doesn't get anywhere near the middle of the bat, gets a lot of height but not the distance. Rayudu runs across to his right from mid-wicket, calls for the catch, watches it all along and holds on. He has a wry smile on his face, so does Dhoni as the captain leads his troops off. Bumrah finishes with 4/28, his career best figures in ODIs. Chatara c Rayudu b Bumrah 4(10)
49.3 -
Bumrah to Chigumbura, out Bowled!! Bumrah has got rid of Chigumbura for a second time and it's not a no-ball this time. This was a perfect length delivery on the stumps, Chigumbura backs away a long way, was looking to go over mid-wicket, misses and the leg-stump goes for a walk. Chigumbura b Bumrah 41(65) [4s-1]
46.5 -
D Kulkarni to Cremer, out Bowled!! Cremer attempts a cheeky lap shot and ends up losing his wicket. Kulkarni just kept it straight, around the middle stump line, Cremer went across his stumps, was looking to use Kulkarni's pace and lap it over short fine, misses and the ball hits the top of middle-stump. Second wicket for Kulkarni, can Zimbabwe last the full 50 overs? Cremer b D Kulkarni 8(11) [4s-1]
43.3 -
Chahal to Mutumbami, out Caught by Rahul!! Maiden ODI wicket for Chahal, he deserved this one. Mutumbami didn't learn from his mistake in the previous over, this was tossed up invitingly outside off, Mutumbami couldn't resist going for the big shot, doesn't get hold of the lofted drive and finds Rahul to perfection at long-off. Chigumbura stands forlorn at the other end. Mutumbami c Rahul b Chahal 15(27) [4s-2]
37.3 -
Barinder to S Raza, out Bowled!! Raza has thrown his wicket away, Zimbabwe's struggle for fluency continues. This was pitched up in that corridor outside off, Raza's eyes lit up as he saw the width, went hard on the drive, his feet was rooted to the crease, ends up playing with an angled bat, gets a thick inside edge and the middle-stump is sent cartwheeling. Second wicket for Sran and Zimbabwe are in real trouble now. S Raza b Barinder 23(54) [4s-2]
24.0 -
Axar to C Ervine, out Caught by (sub)Faiz Fazal!! One more down. Such a soft dismissal and Zimbabwe are losing the plot. This was the flatter delivery from Axar, Ervine was rooted to the crease as he wanted to pull it towards mid-wicket, doesn't get it off the middle and biffs it straight down the throat of long-on who pouches a clean catch after moving to his left. C Ervine c (sub)Faiz Fazal b Axar 21(45) [4s-1]
19.2 -
Bumrah to Sibanda, out Caught by Dhoni!! Another one bites the dust. Sibanda throws his wicket away. Short and width offered outside off, Sibanda flashes hard at that, gets a thick outside edge and Dhoni moves to his right and grabs it with ease. Sibanda c Dhoni b Bumrah 5(21)
13.1 -
Bumrah to Chibhabha, out Bowled!! Change of ends and Bumrah has struck immediately. Chibhabha never looked at ease in his stay and it was just a matter of time before his luck also ran out. Good length delivery that angles in, no movement whatsoever, just a bit more zip off the surface. Chibhabha is late in bringing his bat down, the ball brushes the back pad and then goes on to uproot the off-stump. Chibhabha b Bumrah 13(42)
8.4 -
D Kulkarni to H Masakadza, out Caught by Dhoni!! Lovely delivery from Dhawal. He finally has a wicket to his name. Has been beating the bat quite often, now gets one to brush the outside edge. Good length ball in the corridor around off, Masakadza was drawn into the forward defensive, the ball takes the edge and goes low to Dhoni, who doesn't make any mistake. H Masakadza c Dhoni b D Kulkarni 14(21) [4s-2]
2.0 -
Barinder to Peter Moor, out Lbw!! Finally, Sran has a wicket to his name. He should have had both the openers. Nevertheless, it is an early breakthrough for India. Very similar to the one Chibhabha survived off the first ball. The length was a bit shorter and it nipped back in, Moor is not fast enough to get his bat down and is hit on the kneeroll. The impact was around off and middle. Sran's polite appeal was answered by the raise of the finger from Tiffin. Peter Moor lbw b Barinder 3(5)

Bumrah to C Ervine, no run, edged and dropped! KL Rahul puts down a dolly at second slip. Ervine gets a reprieve. This was a length delivery angled across off, Ervine pushed at that with laden feet, gets a thick outside edge which carries at a good height to second slip but Rahul has made a mess of it. He got both hands but couldn't cling onto it.
