IND vs ZIM Highlights, 2nd T20I: India thrash Zimbabwe by 90 runs to win series at Harare; first under Shreyas Iyer

IND vs ZIM Highlights, 2nd T20I: First under new captain Shreyas Iyer. The hosts were never in this contest. If truth be told, they lost it inside the powerplay. Despite a comprehensive win, India wouldn't be too happy over the injury of Prince Yadav. The final of the series will be played tomorrow here at the same time. Frankly, very timid performance from Sikandar Raza's men. The Indians came into this series on the back of defeats in Ireland and England and Raza's men had a great opportunity to add insult to injury. But they disappointed their fans big time.

Chasing 220 to win, they were bowled out for 129 in 17.5 overs with Abhishek Sharma (3/17) being the pick of the bowlers for the visitors. Yash Thakur took two wickets on debut. Prince was another who took two wickets.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: All he had to do was just hit the stumps from real close but he is casual and misses the target. Batsman breathing a sigh of relief. Zimbabwe 118/7 after 15 overs.

Abhishek bowls Nyamhuri for 3 off the second ball of the next over. Eighth wicket down for the hosts. A caught and bowled chance goes down off the next ball. Richard Ngarava survives.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: IMPOSSIBLE! Now Abhishek Sharma comes on to bowl and Evans dispatches him for a six. But Abhishek then avenges himself on the batter and bowls him down leg. Zimbabwe 105/7 in 13.3 overs. From the sublime to the ridiculous, one has to say that about Evans.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Ryan Burl is gone for 20. Finds Rinku Singh at long-on off the second ball of the Tilak Varma over. Zimbabwe 90/6 after 12 overs. Brad Evans joins Marumani at the crease and picks up a six via a slog sweep in the same over. But the match is over, really

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: They are totally out of this chase. Marumani and Burl are scoffing balls and the required run rate is really creeping up. They need 139 runs in 9 overs.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: It's Shivam Dube now among the wickets. The batsman goes for 2. Miscued shot into the hands of Shreyas Iyer. Zimbabwe have lost half their side now. It's all over bar the shouting. Marumani joins Burl at the crease. Zimbabwe 67/5 after 9 over

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Has Sikandar Raza caught behind and then walks back to the dugout after hurting his hamstring. One really hopes it's not too serious. Shivam Dube to bowl the remaining four balls in the over. And he gives away two fours, one was a misfield from Abhishek Sharma. Zimbabwe 59/4 after seven overs.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Down the throat of the fine leg. Ben Curran also departs. He made just one and played five balls. India are back into the contest with these two wickets. Myers and Burl are at the crease. Zimbabwe 44/2 after five overs.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: One more scoop, one more six. Off Yash Thakur this time around. He follows it up with a four off the next ball. Brian Bennett is well and truly on fire today.

Wait, just as we wrote that he goes for another daring shot but this time finds Ishan Kishan who takes a simple skier. First wicket for Thakur in his first match. Zimbabwe 34/1 after four overs. Bennett scored 32 off just 19 balls

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Bennett again, scoops the Indian pacer over the keeper for a six. Audacious, to say the least but Mayank Yadav does well in the rest of the over. In all just seven runs. Zimbabwe 23/0 after three overs.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: In the first over bowled by Mayank Yadav. In the second over bowled by debutant Yash Thakur, Tilak Varma dropped a travelling shot off the bat of Bennett who also picked up those big shots against Mayank. Six runs off the first over ever bowled by Thakur in international cricket. Zimbabwe 16/0 after 2 overs.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: 219/5. It's now India's game to lose. Hats off to Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma for playing blinders. Captain Shreyas Iyer also played an important innings of 25. Can the hosts now chase this down? Remember, if India win today, they take the first series under Iyer.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Ishan Kishan departs for 81 off 44 balls. Nyamhuri accounted for him. Rinku Singh is the new batter. One feels a little bad for him. At this number, he is not going to get many balls.

Meanwhile, Tilak Varma hits a fantastic six over long-off off the bowling of Muzarabani. Today he has played like a vice captain. Rinku also gets in on the act and picks up a six over fine leg. India 210/4 after 19 overs.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: In the 17th over. And Tilak Varma makes the most of the free-hit. A massive six over midwicket. It travels 84m. A four off the fourth ball, off the bat of Ishan Kishan this time. Hits it straight back and beats the long-on fielder. India 188/3 after 17 overs. Fifty for Tilak off the last ball.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Two fours and a six. Raza has been really expensive today. Finishes with figures of 0/47. Fielding has been terrible from the hosts today as Tilak Varma also picks up a boundary off the last b. India 158/3 after 15 overs. Three fours and a six off this Raza over.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: His 12th in T20Is. Plays a nice shot off Evans on the offside for a single. It comes off just 31 balls. He has really looked terrific today. It's been a chanceless innings but India need him to bat longer. Off the last ball of the over, Kishan celebrates his fifty with a big six over midwicket. India 121/3 after 13 overs.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Really soft dismissal. After picking up three fours off Bennett, Iyer falls for 25 off the last ball of the over. India 95/3 after 10 overs. Simple catch for Evans at backward point. Iyer would be very disappointed with himself. It was a big innings for the taking today. He was looking so good before playing that rash shot.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: That happens with a wide in the ninth over. Nyamhuri is the bowler. India 80/2 after 9 overs. Kishan 31, Iyer 19. The 50-run stand comes off just 35 balls. Really, it's been a chanceless partnership. At this rate, India should get a good total at the end of their innings.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Both have played some nice shots after Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi fall cheaply. India need a good partnership and on the evidence of their strokeplay so far, they should score big today. India 61/2 after seven overs

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got impatient again. He had already hit two fours and a six in the third over but he wanted more and that did for him. Richard Ngarava accounted for him with a short-pitched delivery. The teenager departs after scoring 20 off nine balls.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Two fours in the first over bowled by Sikandar Raza. Both were lofted shots on the offside. India 9/0 after the first over. Just when we wrote that, Abhishek Sharma has given an easy catch to backward point. He departs for 8. Just one run in the second over bowled by Blessing Muzarabani. India 10/1 after 2 overs

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I:

India: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Shreyas Iyer(c), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Prince Yadav, Yash Thakur, Mayank Yadav

Zimbabwe: Brian Bennett, Ben Curran, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza(c), Ryan Burl, Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani(w), Brad Evans, Newman Nyamhuri, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: Wally Hammond of England won his first eight tosses as catpain. Shreyas Iyer would have gone past him had he won today but that wasn't to be as Sikandar Raza won the toss and decided to have a bowl at Harare. As mentioned before, India make once change to their playing XI. Yash Thakur makes his debut as Ashok Sharma makes way for him.

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: This is what the Punjab Kings pacer said earlier, “I have progressed step by step, from Under-19 cricket, through the Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, IPL, India A, and now into the Indian team. Each level brought its own challenges, and I worked hard to clear every hurdle. Climbing every single step makes me feel very happy. I can't quite express the feeling right now, because playing for the country is everyone's dream when they start playing cricket. To finally be here, wearing the India jersey, feels like all the hard work has paid off.”

IND vs ZIM LIVE Score, 2nd T20I: After 32 first class, 57 List A and 74 T20 games, the Vidarbha fast bowler is going to make his international debut today. He has received his India cap which means only one thing that he is going to play today. Recently, he served India A very well.
