Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill looked like unstoppable Ferraris on a national highway as they smashed unbeaten fifties to help India defeat Zimbabwe by 10 wickets and establish a commanding 3-1 lead in the five-match series. In the fourth T20I at the Harare Sports Club, India held Zimbabwe to 152/7 in 20 overs before Jaiswal (93 not out) and Gill (58 not out) pushed their bats through to chase down 156 in just 15.2 overs and record a huge victory with 28 balls to spare.
In the first over, Jaiswal thrashed Richard Ngarava for three lovely boundaries (cut, whip, and heave). Shubman Gill used his trademark short-arm jab and cut to take two boundaries off Blessing Muzarabani.
Jaiswal showed he was unstoppable when he clobbered Tendai Chatara for four boundaries and took India to fifty in only 3.5 overs by guiding Faraz Akram to the left of the diving short third-man for four.
After the Power-play ended, Jaiswal reached his fifty in 29 balls by hitting an overpitched delivery from Sikandar Raza through extra cover for a boundary. From there on, it was one-way traffic as Jaiswal and Gill displayed incredible stroke play, leaving Zimbabwe shocked.
Gill scored his second consecutive fifty in 35 balls, and Jaiswal completed the chase by drawing Muzarabani for four to secure India’s series victory.
Brief scores:
Zimbabwe 152/7 in 20 overs (Sikandar Raza 46, Tadiwanashe Marumani 32; Khaleel Ahmed 2-32, Shivam Dube 1-11) lost to India 156 for no loss in 15.2 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 93 not out; Shubman Gill 58 not out) by 10 wickets
