2015 Zimbabwe Vs India Second T20 @ Harare Sunday July 19,2015

After sweeping the ODI series 3-0, India would look to repeat the same in T20s as well after winning the first game of the two-match series when they take on the Zimbabweans in the last match of the tour on Sunday July 19,2015

A clean sweep stares at the hosts as they will be desperate to avoid the embarrassment by putting up a good show in the final rubber of the tour.

The hosts will be keeping their eyes on Hamilton Masakadza, Elton Chigumbura and Chamu Chibhabha and expect them to fire in unison and make it count in what will be their last chance to come good in the series.

Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat first

Chamu Chibhabha's 51-ball 67 set up Zimbabwe's first T20 international win over India

 

After Chibhabha's 51-ball 67 helped Zimbabwe put up a total of 145 - one that seemed inadequate at the halfway mark - Cremer garotted India's batsmen with a spell of 4-0-18-3. Zimbabwe seemed to be headed towards another lopsided defeat when Robin Uthappa, who blasted 42 off 25 balls, was in the middle, but Cremer's introduction in the seventh over saw India slip from 56 for 1 to 61 for 4. India took the equation to 25 off 12 balls, but Taurai Muzarabani conceded only six runs in the penultimate over, before Chris Mpofu, buckled India's batsmen in the last over to complete Zimbabwe's first T20 win over India.
