India gifts away 2nd T20 to Zimbabwe in Harare – lose by 10 runs

#INDvsZIM #AjinkyaRahane #Zimbabwe #stuartbinny India, true to tradition, played some forgettable cricket and paid the price for complacency like their seniors. The team of Ajinkya Rahane gifted away the 2nd T20 played at Harare to Zimbabwe – India lost by 10 runs. This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 20 July 2015.

Zimbabwe won the toss, elected to bat and put up 145 runs which was probably not enough – but, they defended it admirably and won the match defeating India by 10 runs. Zimbabwe opener Chamu Chibhabha was responsible to ensure that Zimbabwe put up a respectable total with a superb 51-ball 67.
In their chase of 146 runs for a win, India were looking down the barrel at 69 for five in nine overs. It was then that Stuart Binny (24) and debutant Sanju Samson (19) played cameo innings, but it was ultimately Zimbabwe’s day at the Harare Sports Club.
There were three runouts in the Indian side – Ajinkya Rahane (4), Kedar Jadhav (5) and Bhubaneshwar Kumar (9). However, there was not a single runout in the home side. This reveals that Indians are an impatient lot and do not hesitate to throw their wickets away.
Graeme Cremer wreaked havoc with his three wickets for 18 runs in his four overs, while other wickets were shared by SC Williams (1/31), Taurai Muzarabani (1/23) and Chris Mpofu (1/26).
