India took an unassailable 3-0 lead in their 5-match T20I series against Zimbabwe after winning their 4th match at Queen’s Sports Club, Bulawayo. Shubman Gill led India with an excellent half-century, while Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag each chipped in for India to reach 167/6 in 20 overs. Zimbabwe battled hard and came close to reaching their target but wickets fell regularly, restricting their progress.
Zimbabwe’s opening pair, Wessly Madhevere and Tadiwanashe Marumani, scored an impressive 63 runs before they were dismissed by Indian bowlers.

On July 14 at Harare Sports Club, India and Zimbabwe will play the fifth T20I match of their series. Shubman Gill-led India are currently leading 3-1 after taking two victories so far and hope to cap off their tour on a strong note by winning all remaining three matches, while Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza will look to defend some nationalism with some victories of their own.
Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza won the toss and elected to bat first, which paid dividends as all five wickets fell during their opening powerplay session. Unfortunately, their batsmen failed to capitalize on such an effective start and thus left the game hanging by an uncertain thread.
Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad were the only batsmen who managed to score fifty runs; all other Zimbabwe batsmen failed to make any impactful contributions and ultimately conceded their first-innings lead of 75 runs before losing by 42 runs.
India openers were slow to get going, yet still managed to score 234 runs with only four wickets lost in their second innings – led by Abhishek Sharma who scored an astounding 46-ball century and carried India to victory. Kuldeep Yadav picked up four wickets while Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar took two each for India’s impressive bowlers.
Zimbabwe’s batsmen struggled against India’s spinners in the third innings and were bowled out for only 125 runs. Indian spinners had previously been dominant, yet this time around their effectivity wasn’t nearly as potent.
Zimbabwe cricket fans will be hoping that their side can deliver on an unexpected win to preserve some dignity in the final T20I and remain competitive in ICC T20I rankings. They must play well to avoid suffering an embarrassing defeat and remain on top.
