India secured a 100-run victory to level the series against Zimbabwe, with strong performances from both bat and ball, as Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan took two wickets each and Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar controlled the middle overs.
India leveled the series with a massive 100-run win against Zimbabwe. India scored 234/2, building momentum with their batting. The visitors then dominated with the ball, as Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan each took two wickets. Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar controlled the middle overs, not allowing Zimbabwe to recover.
Despite an early setback in their chase, Zimbabwe’s Brian Bennett played aggressively but was soon dismissed. Sikandar Raza’s wicket added to their troubles, and losing four wickets in the Powerplay left them in a tough spot. Eventually, Zimbabwe was bowled out for 134, unable to match India’s dominant performance.
Earlier, India won the toss and chose to bat. Zimbabwe struck early, dismissing captain Shubman Gill, but Abhishek Sharma quickly counterattacked. Despite a slow start, Ruturaj Gaikwad found his rhythm thanks to Abhishek’s aggressive play. Abhishek, dropped at 27, went on to score his maiden international century. After his dismissal, Gaikwad and Rinku Singh ensured a strong finish, with India scoring 160 runs in the last 10 overs to reach a formidable total of 234.
