3rd T20I: Washington Takes 3-15 As India Beat Zimbabwe By 23 Runs; Go 2-1 Up In Series
Harare Sports Club: Off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar was at his frugal best and smart in lengths to pick 3-15 as India survived a fighting effort from Dion Myers to beat Zimbabwe by 23 runs in the third T20I and take a 2-1 series lead at the Harare Sports Club here on Wednesday.
On a two-paced pitch, captain Shubman Gill top-scored with a 49-ball 66, while Ruturaj Gaikwad hit a quick 28-ball 49 as the duo carried India to 182/4 in 20 overs. In reply, Zimbabwe were reduced to 39/5, before Myers and Clive Madande had a 77-run sixth-wicket stand to keep Zimbabwe in the hunt.
Myers went on to be unbeaten on 65 off 49 balls, but it ended in vain as Zimbabwe could only make 159/6 in 20 overs, with the hosts going to rue their poor fielding performance playing a part in India posting a challenging total. Apart from Sundar’s three-fer, Avesh Khan picked 2-39, while Khaleel Ahmed was excellent in his 1-15.
