StarSports||*Watch# India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 Highlights
In short it was a perfect and an all-round performance by the Men in Blue. The new look Indian side have done fine on the tour. With one match to go, they'll look to win the last one as well. 5-0 will be their next target.
During the run chase, Zimbabwean openers got them off to a dazzling start but once the openers were dismissed, wickets fell down like nine pins. No partnerships, no resistance, no fight was shown by the middle order batsmen. They marked their attendance, played rash shots and left in a hurry. Towards the end Madziva and Utseya hit a few lusty blows but it was too late. For India, Axar Patel and Harbhajan Singh, the spin twins kept things tight and picked up crucial wickets. Patel took three wickets while Bhajji picked up a couple of them.
A clinical performance by the Men in Blue. They have won the fourth match in a row on the tour. Everything went their way today. Right from the toss to the last over of the match. Rahane elected to bat first and then the top order in the likes of Vijay, Uthappa, Pandey and Rahane himself played crucial knocks. They got off to a flier and the rest of the batsmen who followed did their bit as well. They ended the innings on high as Harbhajan hit a boundary off the last ball of the innings.
The Man of the Match goes to Axar Patel for his brilliant spell - I bowled to my strengths and it's not easy for the batsmen when you keep it slow. The seam on the ball helps the spinners a lot. Thanks and cheers mate!
Ajinkya Rahane - I think we batted pretty well. We thought a score of 160 would be decent and we got more than that. The wicket was better and our bowlers did their job. The singles and doubles we took in the middle overs were crucial. That helped us to get a good score.
Elton Chigumbura - I think we were all round the place especially with the bat. I though that we give them 15-20 runs more. It doesn't help when you are losing wickets. Definitely, it's important to play well on Sunday and hopefully we will do it.
