Zimbabwe beat India in last ball thriller

Harare, June 18 (IBNS): Shocking the former T20 champions, Zimbabwe clinched a last-ball thriller as they beat India by 2 runs in a T20 clash here on Saturday.

Posting 170 tuns for the loss of six wickets in their 20 overs, with

Elton Chigumbura hammering unbeaten 54 runs off 30 balls, Zimbabwe then restricted India at 168 runs for the loss of six wickets.


Zimbabwe's Chigumbura layed an aggressive knock where he hit seven sixes and a boundary to give Indian bowlers tough times at the park.

It was his 26-ball knock which helped his side post a competitive 170 runs on the scoreboard.

Jasprit Bumrah remained the pick of the Indian bowlers as he finished with a figure of 2/24.

After losing three quick wickets in the first eight overs with just 53 runs on the scorecard, it was skipper Manish Pandey(48*) and MS Dhoni (19*) who stitched together a 53-run partnership to pull out India from the tough position.

Zimbabwe bowlers, however, put up a strong display to manage a two wicket victory at the end.

Zimbabwe lead the series 1-0.
