SportsTranscript
00:00Hello and welcome to the highlights of the 3rd T20 International of India's Tour of
00:16Zimbabwe 2024, played at the Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe's capital city.
00:23India made a great comeback in the 2nd T20i after the hosts had started things off on
00:28a winning note, levelling the series one all.
00:31The 3rd T20i was being played on a new pitch, where bowlers would have a few cracks to work
00:36with, promising a good contest between bat and ball.
00:45Indian captain Shubman Gill won the toss again and opted to bat first.
00:52Fresh from their T20 World Cup winning exploits, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Shivam
00:58Dube joined the Indian side along with Khalil Ahmed.
01:01Dhruv Chourelle, Rian Parag and Mukesh Kumar miss out.
01:08Zimbabwe have two changes.
01:09Innocent Kaya and Luke Jongwe are replaced by Tadiwanashe Marumani and Richard Angaraba.
01:17Yashaswi Jaiswal, talk about this being the first series post the World Cup, post Nehra
01:28that's gone by with great success, Jaiswal is very much proud of the plans for the future.
01:32Strike rate in excess of 160, as does his partner Shubman Gill, India's captain for
01:36this series.
01:37Looking to have more of an impact, it's good numbers, nobody's capable of.
01:45First out in the World Cup 15 was a reserve player, the first two games have gone quietly
01:50for Shubman, the batter batted time in the chase in the first one, couldn't see the job
01:55through.
01:56On his day, just as good.
02:00India with their World Cup squad returning is stronger and batting.
02:06Here's Bennett with a slip in place.
02:18Just talking about the fielding, that is a gift, that is not the start you want, you're
02:25the Zimbabwe captain but it is just what Jaiswal needs to get underway.
02:34Helped on its way, no one back there, Jaiswal has just helped himself to two boundaries.
02:40And it's a no ball as well, well the quiet start that we had the first couple of balls,
02:47you could finish with a very big over, nine from it already, a couple of balls to go and
02:52now you can see that, well over.
02:58Pass it on, it's a free hit, it'll clear deep midwicket, Yashaswi Jaiswal is underway with
03:05six.
03:06Okay, chance, just short.
03:14Oh, that is Ngorova showing us that he can surprise the batter, probably took a bit of
03:21helmet as well.
03:25What a response from Gill, he gets all of this, that is his first six.
03:36It's down the ground, it's a nice test of the outfield, no chance.
03:43Fine legs in, and that's again an easy boundary.
03:49Oh, this is going to be a top edge, that'll go all the way.
03:53Well, for Chutu is, but it's all going India's way, it's another expensive over.
04:00Oh, slip was in play, but it's all going India's way.
04:07But it probably wouldn't have been so close to the ball, because it would have been violent
04:10over the wicket.
04:13Oh, there's work for the man in the deep.
04:19And that's going to be another boundary.
04:22There goes Jaiswal, oh, he's got a hand to it, but Perry's at one bounce over the boundary,
04:29just had a bit too much of it.
04:33Oh, can you believe this?
04:38Well, Zimbabwe have just been sloppy, to say the least.
04:42Bit more effort.
04:47Such has been the fielding.
04:50And a wicket, for Sikandaraza, as Jaiswal succumbs eventually.
04:57A joy for Zimbabwe at last.
05:02The centurion of the previous game, Abhishek Sharma.
05:14This time he goes down the ground, and it's gone for four.
05:18Well, it's also taken the fielder by surprise.
05:25Ball for Kacik, fielder settles, takes it.
05:29No fireworks from Abhishek today, as Raza has two.
05:37Well, that move hasn't worked for Abhishek today.
05:42Now comes in to replace him.
05:45Runs in the second T20, finished with 77.
05:52India have now put themselves in position with the selections they've made.
06:00That's hammered down the ground.
06:03Bowler saw him coming.
06:08Oh, Shubman, he is shifting gears now.
06:11It's part-time offspin at best, and Shubman is treating it as such.
06:17Good from the Indian skipper.
06:19He's launched this.
06:25How easy is that?
06:28Gaikwad, brilliant.
06:33Up and over. No one back there.
06:37Right, the message is clear now. Gaikwad is going to take the bowling on.
06:44Oh, there we see that beautiful foot movement again from Gaikwad.
06:47Beautiful balance. Look how steady that head is.
06:51Even though he's moving his feet significantly down the track.
06:55Beautiful steady head. Steady eyes.
06:59And that's hit the middle of the bat.
07:04That's going to be four.
07:07Ngarabha, short third, drops his shoulders.
07:10But that is 50 for Shubman Gill.
07:13India's captain gets a score.
07:19That is a great shot in the gap, sweetly timed.
07:23Gaikwad is showing us his range of ball striking.
07:30This time, Gaikwad uses his feet to go sideways a little.
07:34He goes a long way inside the line of the ball.
07:40Gives himself the width to free those arms.
07:44Oh, now.
07:47Clive Madandi was up. Didn't expect the batsman to miss the ball.
07:56Oh, that's hit away. That should go all the way.
08:00And it does. Top of the glass bag from the captain.
08:05Another one of his variations.
08:13Now, this is straight down the ground.
08:16And the Indian pair have decided that we're going to take on Sikandaraza in this final over.
08:23In the air. Put it down.
08:26He's put it down.
08:29Tendai Chitara.
08:33Zimbabwe's poor fielding continues.
08:38Let's add one more to that package.
08:41They haven't done themselves any favours whatsoever on the field, Zimbabwe.
08:47Regulation chance, unfortunately, goes down.
08:56In the air. Now, how far has this gone?
09:00Not far enough.
09:03And Zimbabwe might have been poor in the field so far, but if you're going to pick out a fielder to hit a catch to,
09:09don't hit it to Sikandaraza.
09:13Bottom edge. That's unfortunate, but India will take it.
09:22Need of the hour for Sanju Samson and India.
09:27And that's gone. It's the slower ball, but it's a low full toss.
09:33You called it, Abi.
09:36But he gets enough on it.
09:38Does Gaikwad and takes him to 42.
09:44Thick outside edge.
09:46It'll run away for 4.
09:48Abi, you said 6 and a 4 in the over will give them a chance for 180.
09:52And it does.
09:53One over to go. 171 for 3.
09:57Oh, that's come out the middle, has it?
10:00There might be an opportunity and he's put it down.
10:04Zimbabwe have dropped another.
10:08Marumani this time.
10:18Oh, it's a bug, isn't it?
10:20Just travels around the ground when you feel badly as a team.
10:23It just goes around.
10:25Another one goes down for Zimbabwe.
10:29Straightforward opportunity.
10:32Didn't get the hands together in time.
10:34And Raza is thinking to himself.
10:41Back to back half centuries.
10:43No.
10:44Zimbabwe have caught one finally.
10:50Nicely played.
10:51That is a beautiful way to conclude the Indian innings.
10:57Sanju Samson.
11:01Taking advantage of the spaces.
11:03An extra cover.
11:06And India end up 182 for 4.
11:13A swing there.
11:16A little bit of swing. Comfortably played.
11:20Oh, down the ground it goes.
11:22Oh, this is lovely.
11:23That will go to 4.
11:24No need to run.
11:26And what a way to open your count.
11:36Got hold of that one.
11:37Was short.
11:38This time he got hold of it.
11:39Will it go all the way for 4?
11:42Yes, it does.
11:44And 9 was not lost in the first over for Zimbabwe.
11:47Good start.
11:50Oh.
11:51Soft dismissal.
11:52Given away.
11:54And Matavera succumbs.
12:03Brian Bennett in.
12:0414 innings.
12:05He's played well.
12:06I like that strike rate.
12:09That one he's got hold of.
12:10And that should go for 4.
12:12Good shot.
12:1315 for 1.
12:16Short again.
12:17Cut away.
12:18And that will go for 4.
12:20What was offered.
12:21It was short.
12:22And it got the necessary punishment.
12:27Out.
12:28Dubé makes no mistake.
12:30At middle.
12:33And Maramani succumbs.
12:3519 for 2.
12:41Oh, what a catch.
12:42That is magnificent stuff from Bishnoi.
12:46Wow.
12:48A backward point.
12:50That's what we match us.
12:51Catch us like that.
12:52Bennett gone for 4.
12:55Brilliant strike rate.
12:59Best of 87.
13:00He's been the glue and the key for Zimbabwe.
13:05That's short.
13:06It's gone on the poor.
13:08No one there.
13:09It will go for 4.
13:14Short again.
13:15Gone away with disdain this time.
13:17Gone for 4.
13:1930 for 3 now.
13:24It's a rare loose ball that Bishnoi has bowled.
13:27And Raza has capitalized.
13:34Tries to catch it.
13:36Fielder takes it.
13:38Such good judgment from Rinku Singh.
13:42Made it look easy.
13:44We've seen a few catches go down in the first innings.
13:47But India have been exceptional.
13:54Took on the match of Raza.
14:00Here's another one.
14:02Riyan Parag had slipped the substitute fielder.
14:05Washington Sundar has 2 in the over.
14:14Myers.
14:16With some intent.
14:18And brilliantly executed.
14:24That's in the gap.
14:29Has he found the gap?
14:31Yes, he has.
14:32Dion Myers.
14:36Pulled away.
14:37There's a fielder back.
14:39There's 2 fielders back.
14:40And he splits them both.
14:42He's found the gap.
14:44And it'll be 4 more runs.
14:50He's pulled that away.
14:52That's where he's strong.
14:536 runs.
14:56Down the wicket.
14:57He's got a top edge.
14:59But I think it's going to go all the way.
15:01And it does.
15:04Manande on fire.
15:08There he goes.
15:10There he goes.
15:11That's in the air.
15:14Gone.
15:16No mistake.
15:17Rinko Singh.
15:19Out in the deep.
15:20Takes a good catch.
15:22And Washington Sundar is third.
15:24116 for 6.
15:31Nicely struck.
15:32That's gone for 4.
15:37They've gone down the ground.
15:38Maximum 50 up.
15:40What a shot.
15:48What a way to bring up his half century.
15:52Dion Myers.
15:53It was in the slot.
15:57Wow.
15:59He's given that a thump.
16:01It's gone.
16:02Gone.
16:03Gone for 6.
16:046.
16:07Thicker edge.
16:10And it's gone for 4.
16:12Nobody knowing the fact.
16:13You've quieted.
16:16Kenny has a go.
16:17Third man's in the circle as you said.
16:19He goes with again.
16:21And Myers.
16:23Giving him the same treatment.
16:28Last ball.
16:30Question being asked.
16:32Umpire's unmoved.
16:35And that will be the end of the match.
16:39Well India winning by 23 runs.
16:41How different couldn't have been.
16:42In the first 10.
16:4360 runs above we got.
16:45Second 10.
16:4699 runs.
16:47Just shows you.
16:48Wickets in hand.
16:49Better fielding.
16:50It could have been a lot tighter.
