Zimbabwe vs India, 2nd T20I, India tour of Zimbabwe 2026 - HighlightsZIM vs IND, 2nd T20I, India tour of Zimbabwe 2026 - Highlights

Brad Evans to Shivam Dube, FOUR, full and outside off stump, driven off the front foot through cover. Bennett dives full length to the left and flicks the ball back but looks like he was touching the rope and the replays confirm the same. Yes, the third ump says four

Brad Evans to Rinku Singh, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Full toss, Rinku Singh smashes it high. The ball was almost escaping the fielder but Burl had to covered nicely. Timed a slight jump to perfection, balanced his entire body weight on the back leg and held the pose after taking the catch a few inches inside the rope. Lovely bit of fielding. Rinku Singh c Ryan Burl b Brad Evans 12(8) [6s-1]

Blessing Muzarabani to Rinku Singh, SIX, gets inside the line and helps this short ball away over fine leg for a maximum. Smart batting, just got inside the line and played the pull fine

Blessing Muzarabani to Tilak Varma, SIX, that is a brilliant punchy loft drive! Even holds the pose for the cameras. Full delivery, Tilak clears his front leg out of the way and muscles it over long-off

Newman Nyamhuri to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! And he falls short of the hundred! Ishan Kishan wanted a big smack and had one knee on his floor almost, but Newman Nyamhuri made him fetch by bowling outside off stump. The ball takes the outside half of the bat and flies to deep point where Bennett runs in and judges it well with the dive. Fantastic innings from Ishan Kishan. Ishan Kishan c Brian Bennett b Newman Nyamhuri 81(44) [4s-9 6s-2]

Richard Ngarava to Tilak Varma, 2 runs, short slower delivery outside off stump, Tilak fetches the pull. Oh he bumps into Richard Ngarava while taking the second run, luckily for him the throw was wide to the keeper. Would have been interesting to see Zimbabwe's appeal for the runout had the throw been adjacent to the stumps. Tilak would have been well short in that case. But now he gets to celebrate his 9th T20I fifty and this has been a satisfying knock for him

Richard Ngarava to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, low full toss, misses the yorker again, but Ishan manages to get under the ball and smash it to long-on. Fielder runs to the right and dives but the ball escapes to the ropes

Richard Ngarava to Tilak Varma, SIX, full delivery, Tilak gets under and smacks the free-hit all the way to the fence over mid-wicket. Tried to fire the yorker in, instead offered a slot ball and got punished

Brad Evans to Tilak Varma, SIX, Tilak is on a roll! Offer him slot and you are asking for trouble. This was a length delivery slightly outside off stump, Tilak fetched the slog and smashed it over wide long-on

Sikandar Raza to Tilak Varma, FOUR, oh dear! Man at backward point lets this go right through him! Flatter delivery on the stumps, Tilak backs away to cut, hits it well. Should have been a single at best but it's a boundary. 21 off the over and Raza leaked 47 runs in his 4 overs

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, SIX, this is high, man at deep mid-wicket jumps and the ball just evades him! Ran down the pitch, Sikandar Raza tried to follow him but Ishan yet again managed to execute what he wanted and powered the slog just well enough to clear the leaping fielder

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, now Sikandar Raza does drop it slightly short and fire at the leg stump but that doesn't stop Ishan Kishan from playing the pull. Still managed to rock back and pull through square leg, splitting both deep mid-wicket and deep backward square leg to perfection

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, the idea was to cramp him for room but he bowled full and allowed Ishan to get under it, flick-slogged over mid-wicket and there are big pockets on the field at this venue

Blessing Muzarabani to Tilak Varma, FOUR, this is expertly done! All he did was play the ball late with an open bat face for a punch-guide. He understood that third man isn't having it easy to cut the angle to his left so he used the same spot between backward point and third man again and made it hat-trick of fours

Blessing Muzarabani to Tilak Varma, FOUR, lucky boundary! Tilak wanted to walk across and scoop this over short fine leg but the ball took the outside edge and flew to the left of the keeper and into the third man fence

Blessing Muzarabani to Tilak Varma, FOUR, short and outside off stump, cut away uppishly. Backward point flies to the right in hope of taking the catch but the ball evades him. Third man couldn't cut it off running to the left

Brad Evans to Ishan Kishan, SIX, full, in the slot, front leg out of the way and baaaanggg, clears long-on. Middled the ball sweetly and sent it soaring over the ropes

Brad Evans to Ishan Kishan, 1 run, full and angling in, Ishan Kishan taps it to cover. Just defended and took that single. 12th T20I fifty for Ishan Kishan, been having a good run these days and he raises the bat to the crowd and his teammates

Sikandar Raza to Tilak Varma, FOUR, now he stays inside the line when Sikandar Raza was expecting to move away from the stumps. Raza fires this down the leg-side as a result and Tilak helps himself to a boundary with an easy sweep past short fine leg. Fielder dived to the left but the ball escaped

Brian Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Brad Evans!! Bennett goes for 15 runs but breaks the partnership. Zimbabwe will take that. This is another soft dismissal. Iyer knows - he hangs his head back before starting the walk to the dugout. Short and outside off, Iyer cuts and does not keep it down, picks out backward point and Evans makes no mistake. Just when the acceleration was on, India have lost a wicket. Shreyas Iyer c Brad Evans b Brian Bennett 25(20) [4s-4]

Brian Bennett to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, third boundary in the over. They have decided to target Bennett. Iyer shimmies out, stays leg-side and thumps it flat over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes

Brian Bennett to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, back to back fours. Bennett went flatter and quicker, Ishan was waiting for that and steers it behind square on the off-side. The fielder at short third gets a hand but Meyers (from backward point) is late in giving the sprint, he dives head first and tries to flick it in but the ball had touched the rope

Brian Bennett to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, Ishan went "two, two, two" but he had struck that cleanly. Bennett tosses it up and overpitches outside off, Ishan drives in front of square and gives the sweeper no chance of making the stop

Newman Nyamhuri to Ishan Kishan, wide, sprays it way down leg, no chance for Ishan to reach that, diving take by Marumani

Newman Nyamhuri to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, second boundary in the over. He's been really good with the pull shot. Once again picks the length early, swivels around and smashes it square on the leg-side, splits the two fielder in the deep expertly

Newman Nyamhuri to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, Iyer needed that. Just to get him going again. Fullish delivery, width on offer and mid-off was inside the ring. Iyer goes up and over, clears Raza and picks up the boundary

Sikandar Raza to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, shot! This is fraction short and Ishan is quick to pounce, he transfers his weight back and nails the pull in front of square, bisecting deep mid-wicket and long-on perfectly

Newman Nyamhuri to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, was that a misfield? Yes. Back of a length angled across, Iyer slashes it to backward point. The ball bounces in front of Curran and spins away, making it difficult for him to stop it

Brad Evans to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, another boundary in the same region. 134ks back of a length outside off, Ishan has the room to open his arms, he toe-ends the pull through mid-wicket and the ball reaches the fence

Brad Evans to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, this is the last over of the powerplay and Ishan will try to maximise it. 130ks back of a length delivery, sits up around off and Ishan dismisses the pull in front of square. No one at mid-wicket and the ball races away..

Richard Ngarava to Ishan Kishan, 2 runs, dropped! Terrific effort but Curran can't hold on. Slanted in and it was heading down leg, Ishan stays inside the line and tries to help it along, the ball misses the bat and lobs off the thigh pad as per UltraEdge. It lobs towards short fine and Curran moves back, sticks his left hand out and can't hang on. So it was not a chance..

Blessing Muzarabani to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, width, punished! No feet from Iyer, it is all hands. Good length ball outside off, Iyer does not bother to keep the drive down - goes up and over the cover region, and opens his account

Richard Ngarava to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, out Caught by Blessing Muzarabani!! There you go.. Ngarava wins the battle. He went for a few boundaries but has struck gold. Sooryavanshi wasn't going to back down. He shimmies out and is met by a shortened length, the ball gets big on him but he still goes through with the pull shot. It is a complete miscue and the ball skies over mid-on, Muzarabani backtracks a few steps and takes a good catch. The ball hit the splice and hence there was no power or timing to clear the infield. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi c Blessing Muzarabani b Richard Ngarava 20(9) [4s-3 6s-1]

Richard Ngarava to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, he's outsmarting Ngarava at the moment. The field is set on the leg-side for the pull/cross-batted shot. But Sooryavanshi backs away and creates the room to go over the off-side field. The length was fuller and it allowed him to pump it over mid-off

Richard Ngarava to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, this is smart batting. Mid-wicket was sent back, so Sooryavanshi decides to charge down the wicket, convert it into a full delivery and lofts it over mid-off, one bounce and over the ropes

Richard Ngarava to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, SIX, this is better, this is longer. Very small margin for error against him. Ngarava offered the space outside off and Sooryavanshi flexes his arms, pulls it over wide long-on and sends it all the way. It did not come off the middle but still went all the way

Richard Ngarava to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, FOUR, this time Sooryavanshi connects. 134ks dragged short and the ball sits up, almost seemed like Sooryavanshi was early into the pull, but he places it in front of square and collects his first boundary

Blessing Muzarabani to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Muzarabani strikes! This is a soft dismissal. Felt like catching practice. Muzarabani is delighted - he does a fist pump. Back of a length, angling across Abhishek and the extra bounce does him in, he tries to punch with an open bat face and offers a simple catch to Burl at backward point. Just the start Zimbabwe needed after opting to bowl. Abhishek Sharma c Ryan Burl b Blessing Muzarabani 8(8) [4s-2]

Sikandar Raza to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, back to back fours. Raza spots Abhishek back away and he shortens the length, but the southpaw is up for the challenge, he slaps it over extra cover and sends it over the rope

Sikandar Raza to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, there's the first boundary. Abhishek moves away, gives himself the room to go over the off-side field, and though this was not middled, the ball clears the inner ring comfortably and almost travels the distance, just lands inside the rope
