Captain sikandar raza

Harare Sports Club: Left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed took 2-32 in a collective bowling show as India kept Zimbabwe to 152/7 in the fourth T20I at the Harare Sports Club here on Saturday. Tushar Deshpande, Washington Sundar, Abhishek Sharma, and Shivam Dube provided decent support to Khaleel by taking a wicket each.

For Zimbabwe, Tadiwanashe Marumani and Wesley Madhevere put up a 63-run opening stand. But the hosts lost their way after the duo fell in quick succession. Captain Sikandar Raza stepped up to take Zimbabwe past 150 with a 28-ball 46.

His quick-fire knock was laced with two fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 164.29, though his dismissal at the fag-end cost Zimbabwe around 10-15 runs. Pushed into batting first, Zimbabwe were off to a decent start as Madhevere and Marumani hit seven boundaries between themselves in a 63-run opening partnership.
