ZIMvIND 4th T20I: And the Jaiswal-Gill partnership make it an easy 3-1!

By Mumbai Indians

A thorough exhibition of brilliance with the bat and ball saw India register a convincing 10-wicket win on Saturday, July 13, and take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20I series.

Let's take a quick look back at the game.

First innings: ZIM start well, collapse at the end

There was promise in Zimbabwe’s start as ​​Tadiwanashe Marumani (32) and Wessly Madhevere (25) stitched together 63 runs up top. But after Madhevere’s dismissal, the momentum started to slip away. A vital but late cameo from skipper Sikandar Raza (46 off 28) catapulted the hosts to a score of 152/7.

Second innings: Jaiswal, Gill go on a ‘run’ carnage

The target (153) was a mere formality for India, as young openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (93*) and Shubman Gill (58*) displayed precision and confidence in their batting strides to lead India to victory inside 15.2 overs. While they started a bit patiently (61 runs in powerplay), the opening pair would accelerate and see off the game with ease.

Brief scores: India 156/0 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 93*, Shubman Gill 58*) BEAT Zimbabwe 152/7 (Sikandar Raza; Khaleel Ahmed 2/32) BY 10 WICKETS.
