Zimbabwe beat India by 2 runs in first T20

HARARE: Zimbabwe held its nerve to beat India by two runs in the first Twenty20 on Saturday as Mahendra Singh Dhoni failed to hit a four off the last ball for the win.

Zimbabwe seamer Neville Madziva conceded just five off the last over, and removed the dangerous-looking Axar Patel, as India fell short of the home team's 170-6.

Chigumbura pummelled seven sixes as he took Zimbabwe to 170 for six in their 20 overs having been sent into bat by the tourists.

India lost opener Lokesh Rahul on his Twenty20 debut in the first ball of their reply, but they went into the final over from seamer Neville Madziva needing eight to win.

That was reduced to four off the last ball with Mahendra Singh Dhoni on strike, but he could only bludgeon the ball to deep point and Zimbabwe celebrated a second consecutive victory over India in the 20-over format.

Aside from Chigumbura, Malcolm Waller (30 from 21 balls) and opener Hamilton Masakadza (25 from 15 balls) gave Zimbabwe their highest score against India in Twenty20 cricket.

India were behind the run-rate for much of their innings, but Manish Pandey (48 from 35 balls) kept them in the hunt until the last over.

With Dhoni on strike it looked like advantage to the tourists, but Madziva bowled a succession of excellent yorkers to limit India to five runs.

India ended on 168-6. Zimbabwe's total was set up by 54 not out off 26 balls from Elton Chigumbura and 30 from Malcolm Waller.

Manish Pandey made 48 for India, which easily won the one-day series 3-0 and was expected to continue its dominance in the three-match T20 series.

Aside from Rahul, the visitors handed 20-over debuts to batsman Mandeep Singh, seamer Jaydev Unadkat, all-rounder Rishi Dhawan and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.

The second Twenty20 match will be played at the same venue on Monday.

unfortunately this wont make any difference on money that Indian players make..they will continue to become the most richest sportsmen....I see Indian cricket team no different than Brazilian football team...
 
Lol congratz zim u deserve it but to the op for the tittle look at the team no regulars if u take out MSD even the zim commentator said india b or c team
 
Congratulation Zimbabwe..Good to see and waiting to see the old Zimbawe back to the form...
 
it was quite obvious that this was going to happen

the shorter format allows smaller teams to keep themselves from exposing their weak points

but such a loss never helps

sure Pakistan also lost to smaller teams may times

but India was supposed to have to much more talent to offer after hosting the IPL

it seems weird that India loses in the format in which they play most

wassalaam
