After winning the toss and deciding to bowl first, India restricted Zimbabwe to only 189 in 40.3 overs. It could have been far less if not for a 70-run stand for the ninth wicket between Bradley Evans and Richard Ngarava.
Deepak Chahar, Axar Patel and Prasidh Krishna took three wickets each while skipper Regis Chakanbavva top scored for Zimbabwe with 35.
With the bat, Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill were just flawless. Especially Gill was in a mood as she scored quickly and even after Dhawan was dropped once and scored slower than usual, the young turk made sure that India finished the game in only 30.5 overs. Gill remained unbeaten on 82 off 72 balls, while Dhawan scored 81* from 113 balls.
