- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.6 looks to take him on with the pull shot but ends up getting more height than distance. Rinku, circling around at deep square leg, takes it comfortably inside. Two in two for India as Zimbabwe's quest to up the ante now sees both openers back with a platform set 67/28.4 there's the breakthrough! Abhishek's first wicket in T20Is and it comes via an absolute half-tracker. Marumani rocks back and pulls this short ball, but the timing is off as he hits it towards the bottom. He was also trying to hit it towards the bigger pocket, but was caught well inside by Rinku at deep midwicket. 63/113.4 Slaps it straight into the hands of Jaiswal at extra cover. Washington varies his pace well and reaped the rewards. Was a touch slower and shorter outside off. Bennett looks to break the shackles but all he can manage is finding the safe hands of Jaiswal. 92/318.3 Maiden wicket for Deshpande in T20Is. Slower offcutter well outside off. Raza was looking to thump him away to the shorter leg side but has to fetch that from way outside off. Gets a big top-edge that balloons straight up for Gill at extra cover to take a comfortable catch 141/514.4 Direct hit and he is a goner! Miscommunication all around and Campbell is run out for the second time in the series. Sold down the river by his captain. Very flat on middle, he works it to the on-side and sets off only to later decide, he ain't going. The ball was a bit too close to Bishnoi who hares across the turf, slides, and in one swift motion turns around and throws down the non-striker's stumps. Campbell is nowhere in the frame. 96/419.1 Pace-off does the trick again. Rolls his fingers on that length ball at 118kph on leg stump. Myers is way too early on his flick, gets a leading edge that spoons straight up with Khaleel taking a simple catch. 147/619.6 Madande tries to take on the big boundary, but can't clear it. Back of a length ball outside off, he pulls, gets a good chunk of it but not enough to clear Rinku. 152/7Extras14 (lb 5, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL152/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.6)Fall of wickets: 1-63 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 8.4 ov), 2-67 (Wessly Madhevere, 9.6 ov), 3-92 (Brian Bennett, 13.4 ov), 4-96 (Johnathan Campbell, 14.4 ov), 5-141 (Sikandar Raza, 18.3 ov), 6-147 (Dion Myers, 19.1 ov), 7-152 (Clive Madande, 19.6 ov)
