11.50am 168, 126 and now 123. Another shocking batting performance from Zimbabwe, after it looked like India would chase close to 180, if not more, at one stage. Then came an epic collapse that gave India four wickets in four balls. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the lot, but I must say India's slip fielding was equally impressive. This should be a stroll nine times out of ten. Four batsmen into double digits, with the highest being 38 by Sibanda. Will Zimbabwe have anything left to give when they come out to bowl? We'll soon find out.
chaitanya: "DT Tiripano.. DT stands for Direct Throw now?"
Pratap: "Lot of similarities in the way Bumrah and Ntini operate. Ofcourse very different actions, but that same wide of the crease approach, get the ball to nip back in, and to add to the confusion get a few to leave the right hander. All this at a decent pace."
DT Tiripano run out 2 (20m 16b 0x4 0x6) SR: 12.50
Dhawal Kulkarni back into the attack

Ashwin Shankar: "I was just looking at the international calendar. Is it true that India do not have anything after the West Indies series till the champions trophy in june next year..? Is there any series in talks..?" They play limited-overs games against New Zealand and England too
Manoj: "This will probably be considered one of the most one sided bilateral ODI series ever. Very disappointing from zimbabwe."
