ZIM vs IND 2nd T20I Results

2:55 PM IST Plenty of lessons to take from the game - Sikandar Raza says his bowlers performed well in patches and gives credit to India for some of the quality shots and skill they displayed. He admits that the fielding could have been better, while praising Ishan for his consistency and acknowledging that he is going through a good run of form. Raza also feels there were plenty of lessons to take from the game and hopes the team could use them to improve. On a personal note, the captain admits that he has been letting the team down with the bat and vowed to do his best in the final game.

2:54 PM IST The victorious skipper of India - Shreyas Iyer says that he is feeling exultant after a comprehensive win and praises the brilliant contribution from each and every player. He highlights the way Ishan and Tilak batted, adding that the team felt 180-200 was a par score, with 220 proving to be the icing on the cake. With the ball, he says they executed their lines and lengths precisely, and bowling Zimbabwe out for just under 130 tells you the story. Iyer stresses the importance of being fearless, not dwelling too much on past performances, staying in the present and maximising every opportunity. With Prince Yadav picking up an injury, he hints that India could make a couple of changes for the final T20I, adding that tomorrow is a new day.

2:51 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Ishan Kishan wins the award for his fantastic knock of 81 off 44. He says that when you get runs for your team, you end up putting up a good total. He adds that he didn’t feel the wicket was one where you could just go and score runs because there was odd bounce on a few deliveries, so they felt partnerships were needed. Kishan notes the approach was to not think about wickets, leave the past behind, and just see which bowlers they could target. Kishan also says he is very happy to see Mayank, Yash and Prince, adding that they all have great stories behind their success and it’s good to have them around

2:50 PM IST One more to go - And that is a wrap from this one, with India sealing the series with a game to spare. They will now look to complete a clean sweep, while Zimbabwe will be playing for pride and hoping to finish the series on a high. There is hardly any time to catch a breath, with the third and final T20I coming up in less than 24 hours. The action is scheduled for Sunday, July 26, getting underway at 11 AM GMT (4.30 PM IST). But you know you can join us early for all the build-up to the final game. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

2:39 PM IST Presentation Time...

2:39 PM IST Bowlers seal a dominant win - India will be extremely pleased with their bowling effort, as they were spot on throughout, while the fielding was also much sharper after proving to be a weakness in recent times. Debutant Yash Thakur started proceedings with the first wicket, and India never looked back from there, picking up wickets at regular intervals. With plenty of runs to defend, they were also able to experiment, with Prince Yadav continuing his good form by picking up a couple of wickets before walking off with a hamstring issue. Ravi Bishnoi bowled an excellent spell of 1/20, while Tilak Varma also chipped in with a wicket and Yash added another to his tally. It was Abhishek Sharma who wrapped things up in style with a 3/17 to seal a dominant victory for India.
