Harare, August 2023: India extended their dominance over Zimbabwe in the ongoing T20I series, securing a resounding 10-wicket victory in the fourth match at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill combined in a scintillating opening partnership to guide India to the target without losing a wicket.

Zimbabwe's Innings: Dube, Sharma Impress

Opting to bat first, Zimbabwe struggled to gain momentum early on, losing wickets at regular intervals. The Indian bowlers, led by Shivam Dube and Abhishek Sharma, displayed excellent control and precision. Dube claimed three wickets for 32 runs, while Sharma picked up two for 27.

Despite the early setbacks, Zimbabwe managed to post a respectable total of 152 for seven thanks to a fighting knock from their captain, Sikandar Raza. Raza played a fiery innings of 46 off 28 balls, including five boundaries and two maximums. His efforts provided the much-needed impetus for Zimbabwe's innings.

India's Response: Jaiswal, Gill Shine

In reply, India openers Jaiswal and Gill made a mockery of the target. Jaiswal played with characteristic aggression, striking the ball cleanly to all parts of the ground. Gill, on the other hand, provided the stability and composure needed for the chase.

Jaiswal reached his half-century in just 27 deliveries, smashing four boundaries and three sixes. Gill played the role of an anchor, ensuring there were no hiccups in the chase. He contributed an unbeaten 48 off 47 balls, hitting four boundaries.

India Seal Series Win
