SportsTranscript
00:00The 4th T20 International of India's Tour of Zimbabwe 2024 was played at the Harare
00:16Sports Club in Zimbabwe's capital city.
00:19Welcome to the highlights.
00:22India secured a comprehensive victory against the hosts in the 3rd T20 and with the series
00:26now standing at 2-1, the hosts would be looking to level it up coming into this contest.
00:33The pitch had a cover of grass and some cracks, but was considered the best wicket used in
00:38the series thus far.
00:41Indian captain Shubman Gill won the toss and asked the hosts to bat first.
00:49The Indian team handed a debut to Tuchar Deshpande who replaced Avesh Khan in the playing 11.
00:59The hosts making one change as well, Faraz Akram coming in for Bellington Masakadza.
01:05So let's head straight to the action.
01:20It's Khalil to Madhaveri.
01:28It's T20, that's a gift.
01:34He started well Khalil for the first time.
01:37There's an error in his line and Madhaveri and Zimbabwe are off the mark.
01:45That's the big boundary but it's in the gap.
01:49Four for Madhaveri.
01:55That'll race away as well.
01:57So Deshpande under pressure in his first over.
02:00It's good from Zimbabwe, good from Madhaveri.
02:0215 without loss.
02:07Oh what a shot.
02:08Hold that pose.
02:11Brilliant from Madhaveri.
02:14Zimbabwe 35 without loss.
02:19It doesn't matter where those fielders are.
02:21It's gone behind square Maroumani.
02:23He's putting Bishnoi under pressure.
02:27That's picked up.
02:29It's gone.
02:30It's one bounce over the fence.
02:33He's just dragged it down a bit Sundar.
02:37And Maroumani pounced on that.
02:43Well, is that going to be out?
02:45Good.
02:46He's hit it straight down his throat.
02:49First international wicket for Abhishek Sharma.
02:54A shoulder ball from the left arm spinner.
02:56And he's mishitted out to deep mid wicket.
02:58Rinku Singh making a very comfortable catch.
03:01And Zimbabwe are now 63 for 1.
03:07Wow.
03:09Has that gone?
03:10Singh won't make any mistakes.
03:13And the second wicket down.
03:15We're going to play it in the deep in that area.
03:17It's a big boundary to clear.
03:21So Wesley Madhavere out for 25 of 24 balls.
03:28Getting rid of Maroumani.
03:30And Madhavere holding out in the last over.
03:32Which brings Sikandar Raza.
03:35Zimbabwe's captain.
03:39And that's against the turn.
03:41This is going to be wicket number 3.
03:43It should have.
03:44It should have been.
03:46But Ruturaj Gaikwad.
03:52Easy as you like.
03:53It is a poor ball with fine leg in.
03:55Sikandar Raza is too good to miss out.
03:58First boundary for the Zimbabwe captain.
04:03The key is the length.
04:04And this time he over pitches.
04:06And Raza punishes him.
04:13First six of the game.
04:16And it's over.
04:17It's over.
04:22That's it.
04:23Straight into the hands of Yashasvi Jaiswal.
04:26Then it was reprieved a couple of overs back.
04:29But not this time.
04:31It was a struggle today for young Brian Bennett.
04:34And Washington Sundar as his first.
04:39Looked to cut the off spinner.
04:41Yashasvi Jaiswal.
04:46Tom Campbell.
04:48Washington Sundar likes bowling to him.
04:50Slip is in straight away.
04:57He's very happy at the non-striker's end.
05:03Oh, mix up.
05:05Tom Campbell.
05:09Doesn't even need to go upstairs.
05:11Brilliant from Bishnoi.
05:13Bullseye with the stumps.
05:17Bishnoi has been really good with the ball.
05:19But he's been exceptional on the field.
05:22Sensational catch in the previous game.
05:25And this time of his own bowling.
05:28Unfortunately, second time run out in the series.
05:30Jonathan Campbell.
05:32Goes for a runner ball three.
05:33Zimbabwe 96 for four now.
05:36That's picked from Sikandar Raza.
05:39He's taken on the big boundary.
05:41And he's cleared it quite comfortably.
05:44And he got Raza in the last game caught in the deep.
05:46With a similar type shot.
05:50Raza was not put off.
05:55Outside edge.
05:56Oh, he's done well to get down there.
05:58Shibam Dube.
06:00He's saved three.
06:06Oh!
06:10Well, that one's worked okay off the full toss.
06:12Be interesting to see.
06:14If that'll be called no ball as well.
06:19No ball.
06:22Above hip height.
06:24From Khalil.
06:29And hit well enough to get over Mirov.
06:31Mirov's in.
06:32On the edge of the circle.
06:33That's a clear no ball.
06:38What a shot!
06:40Back past the bowler's head.
06:42Six runs to Sikandar Raza.
06:50Excellent work from the Zimbabwean skipper.
06:54Oh, now!
06:58Did he get a touch on that?
07:00No, he didn't.
07:01Wide signal.
07:03Extra ball for Zimbabwe.
07:08Oh, that's gone straight up.
07:10Who's getting under it?
07:11It's the opposite number.
07:12The captain.
07:14And...
07:16Safe hands.
07:18First wicket in T20 international cricket.
07:22Tushar Deshpande.
07:24Well done.
07:25Slower ball.
07:26This time there was a change of place.
07:28Again, looking for that wide line.
07:30But with an off pace delivery.
07:32And he deceived the batsman.
07:35Gill takes a solid catch.
07:37Dismissing his opposite number.
07:40Tushar Deshpande.
07:42First wicket in international T20 cricket for India.
07:46Raza's gone for 46.
07:51Wow!
07:53Awareness.
07:54Finesse.
07:55Control.
07:56147 for 5.
07:59Ball the final.
08:02Leading edge.
08:03Taken.
08:05Pace off the ball.
08:07Zimbabwean batsmen need to know that this is what he's going to do at this stage of the innings.
08:16Every delivery.
08:17Pace off.
08:18Rolls his fingers.
08:19118 kilometres an hour.
08:23And again a Zimbabwean batsman playing early.
08:25He's gone for 12.
08:29Wow!
08:30It's the big boundary.
08:31And not enough on it.
08:36Third Zimbabwean in this innings.
08:38Who perishes trying to clear that boundary.
08:41Manande.
08:42But it was the final ball of the innings and he had to go for it.
08:46Raza dominating that innings.
08:48There was a good opening stand between Wesley Madavera and Raza.
08:52A good opening stand between Wesley Madavera and Marumane.
08:56But Raza's acceleration took them to over 150.
09:00Yeah, they'll feel probably 20 less than what they could have got.
09:05Khalil two for 32 in his.
09:09He was outstanding.
09:11That's four overs.
09:13Right.
09:14So India to win the fourth T20 International and the series will require 153 runs
09:21of their allotted 20 overs.
09:23Don't go away.
09:24We'll be back with you shortly.
09:26One of the top batters to come through the ranks from under-19 cricket now to men's.
09:33Shubman Gill, 18 innings for him as well.
09:38Here we go.
09:44Struck away in front of that point fielder.
09:48Come back for two.
09:50Bennett and Madavera do the chasing.
09:56That'll go away.
09:58And probably to the boundary.
10:01Does.
10:08Oh, that's a beauty.
10:09There's a fielder back, but he won't get there.
10:11Jonathan Campbell.
10:12Two straight, two full.
10:20That's smashed away.
10:22Hasn't got all of it as he would have liked.
10:25But got enough of it to get four and end the first over.
10:28Very good start for India in the run chase.
10:3015 for none.
10:36That is such a good shot.
10:39Yes, it's a bad ball, but how well did he dispatch this?
10:49Yeah, that's not where you want to be bowling.
10:51Not to a batsman in the form of Shubman Gill.
11:00Change of bowling.
11:01Chattara.
11:04And he goes for four.
11:05First ball.
11:09Crunch down the ground.
11:13Down the ground.
11:14And he's decided that he's going to take Tendai Chattara on.
11:19No longer has the pace that he used to Chattara.
11:22And I think they're going to have to get the keeper up here.
11:28Over the offside this time.
11:32Big boundary, but enough on it to get there.
11:38And there's another.
11:41Wow.
11:42Yashasvi Jaiswal is having a party.
11:45Oh, that'll go away for four.
11:47This is sensible batting.
11:54Well, that's bludgeoned away with this dame.
11:59Oh, and 50 up.
12:00He's 50.
12:02What a player.
12:03Well done, Jaiswal.
12:10Looks hungry.
12:12Looks hungry, doesn't he?
12:14Very hungry.
12:17That's a good shot for four.
12:19Well, the field is there.
12:21I think Raza got a bit of a hand to it.
12:23And now they're looking at each other.
12:31Down the ground.
12:33What a shot.
12:35Maximum.
12:36Wow.
12:41Gill picked up a couple of boundaries in the power play.
12:44A little pull against Muzarabani.
12:49Wow.
12:50And as I said,
12:53Gill at his best.
13:00Slept away again.
13:01Oh, the fielder doesn't move.
13:03Goes for four.
13:04100 up.
13:06India on top.
13:08Look at this pace.
13:09If you're going to bowl that wide, Andy,
13:10you're going to be punished.
13:14Yeah, 100%.
13:17And he slaps this one.
13:18It's going to be another beating of Blesic Muzarabani once again.
13:23And four more to Gill.
13:25And Zimbabwe are reeling.
13:32That'll go the distance.
13:34It's a first six for Zimbabwe.
13:37It's a first six for Jaiswal.
13:40No matter who's bowling,
13:41the ball's just finding its way to or above the boundary.
13:45Yep, something happened all right.
13:48A sixth picked up off his hip.
13:53Went straight, Jaiswal edging across to off stump,
13:56giving himself the angle to get inside the ball.
14:00And that is the shorter side.
14:04He has been so good at that today,
14:06finding the gaps.
14:09It's been a masterclass from Yashaswi Jaiswal.
14:12His 12th boundary to take him into the 80s.
14:24Any width and Gill is just not missing out today.
14:30Short, wide, hammered.
14:37Smashed for six.
14:41India now two hits away.
14:45We saw Raza hit one in exactly that area in the first innings.
14:52And Gill against an off spinner with no pressure.
14:56There's almost no contest.
15:00Great hit with the spin.
15:02Head down over the ball and a beautiful free swing of the bat.
15:07Outstanding.
15:10What a cricketer this man is, Yashaswi Jaiswal.
15:14He clears the boundary with ridiculous ease.
15:19I was wrong.
15:20I thought he was eyeing up the short boundary
15:23on the leg side.
15:25But he's just lifted that over mid-off instead.
15:29He's got width this time.
15:31That's why he's so good.
15:33He's got width this time.
15:35That's why he's hit it offside.
16:03And they've been absolutely superb.
16:06Here at the Arari Sports Club and also now winning the series
16:11as they sail to a 3-1 lead.
16:15Lots to play for tomorrow for Zimbabwe and that will be for pride.
16:19Those are the beautiful scenes in Zimbabwe, the fourth international.
16:23India wicketless.
16:25They were just absolutely outstanding as we said.
16:29Jaiswal was brilliant for his 93 or 53 balls.
16:32He was still ably supported.
16:34He took the second fiddle role for a time.
16:37But when the opportunity arose, he came to the party.
16:40The match summary that Zimbabwe being sent into Patcott.
16:44252 for 7.
16:46They would have been a bit disappointed.
16:48They got that start in the power play of 44 without loss.
16:50And they would have wanted to kick on to get to about 170, 180.
16:54And then 156.
16:56Jaiswal 93.
16:58Gill 58.
