- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.1 Raza provides the breakthrough. Stretches his arms and roars in celebration. Tossed up on a length around off, Jaiswal looks to play the switch hit and hit it over backward point. Does not get hold of it and chips it to Bennett there 67/117.5 The extra bounce does the trick for Muzarabani. Was on a length and Gill thought that was in the slot. He looks to go up and over mid-off, but the bounce does him in. Gets it off the splice as the ball balloons straight up with Raza back-peddling and taking a comfortable catch 153/310.3 Straight down deep midwicket's throat. Abhishek departs for just 10. Dragged down but that came onto Abhishek quicker than what he expected. He pulls, gets it off the higher part of the blade and the fielder makes no mistake this time around 81/219.4 Muzarabani gets his revenge the very next ball with a Zimbabwe fielder finally completing a catch. And it is a good one. Fuller outside off, Gaikwad gives himself room and scythes it straight to deep point, but the ball was travelling. Madhevere didn't make a mistake 177/4Extras8 (b 4, lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL182/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 8.1 ov), 2-81 (Abhishek Sharma, 10.3 ov), 3-153 (Shubman Gill, 17.5 ov), 4-177 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Catching practice. Avesh strikes first ball and it is the bounce off the surface that has come to his aid. He digs it in on a back of a length outside off, Madhevere hangs back and looks to punch it over short cover. Mistimes it straight to Abhishek there 9/12.4 Khaleel on the board now! Marumani's happy-go-lucky innings ends just like most high-risk knocks do. Looks to smack Khaleel over mid-on seeing the length ball around off, miscues it straight to Dube in the ring 19/23.1 Screameerrrrrrr from Bishnoi. All the India players rush to engulf him in hugs. What a catch that! Superb. Bennett hangs back to a length ball outside off and slashes hard at it. The camera almost pans to the deep point fence. Only for Bishnoi to time his leap to perfection and pluck it with both hands 19/36.2 Swings it high and straight to Rinku at deep square leg. Washington strikes second ball and it is the big wicket of Raza. He tosses it up, lands it on a length just outside off. Almost inviting the big shot. Raza takes the bait and that's that 37/46.6 Sharp catch by sub Parag at slip. Two in the over for Washington and Zimbabwe's slide has been quick. Tosses it up, lands it on a length outside off, slow through the air. Campbell comes forward and just fishes at it outside off. Gets a thick outside edge that goes to slip. 39/516.3 Gets his third wicket of the game. Washington goes slower, wider away from Madande's arc. He moves right across, eyeing a slog but can only manage a top-edge that spoons straight up for Rinku at deep backward square leg to take a simple catch 116/6Extras5 (b 1, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL159/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Wessly Madhevere, 1.1 ov), 2-19 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 2.4 ov), 3-19 (Brian Bennett, 3.1 ov), 4-37 (Sikandar Raza, 6.2 ov), 5-39 (Johnathan Campbell, 6.6 ov), 6-116 (Clive Madande, 16.3 ov)
