- 19:59 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: Zimbabwe win!!!Washington Sundar is out and that is the victory for Zimbabwe! They have defeated India by 13 runs. This Zimbabwe's third win in the T20I format over India. An outstanding bowling show from the side as it has defended a total of 115 for 9.
- 19:50 (IST)
- 19:32 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: Zimbabwe on topAvesh Khan hit Luke Jongwe for a four on the fifth ball of the over. A total of 8 runs came in the over. India need 47 runs in 36 balls. The asking rate is below 8 but India have lost as many as 7 wickets with no pure batter at the crease now.IND 69/7 (14)
- 19:25 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: Bishnoi departs!India are in all sorts of trouble. They are seven down in the chase of 116 runs. Bishnoi jumped out of his crease to play the ball on the leg side but it hit his front pad. Umpire raised his finger and even a review could not save the batter. This seems like Zimbabwe's game to lose as seven-down India need 55 runs in 42 balls.IND 61/7 (13)
- 19:16 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: OUT!Shubman Gill has been cleaned up! Would you believe it? Is this the game for Zimbabwe? That might be too early to saw but Zimbabwe are surely on top of this game as India need 69 runs in 58 balls with only last four wickets remaining.IND 47/6 (10.2)
- 19:14 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: OUT!Dhruv Jurel is OUT! Zimbabwe are trying their best to keep themselves fighting in this game. On the previous delivery, Luke Jongwe bowled it fuller outside off stump and Jurel drove it away for a four. This ball was bowled almost at the same spot but Jongwe slowed down the pace of it. The change in speed saw Jurel handing a catch to Madhevere at cover.IND 43/5 (9.5)
- 19:05 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: Match in the balanceShubman Gill is looking solid at one end while Dhruv Jurel is taking his time at the other end. India need 82 runs in 72 balls. A good partnership can put India in a commanding position. On the other hand, a couple of wickets will see Zimbabwe entering India's tail.IND 34/4 (8)
- 18:54 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: End of powerplay!Zimbabwe could not have asked for a better start. They have utilised the extra bounce of the surface really well. On the other hand, Indian batters didn't shy away from throwing their wicket away, almost all four of them beaten by the bounce. India need 88 runs in 84 balls.IND 28/4 (6)
- 18:47 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: OUT!This match has come alive. Zimbabwe are not only back in the game but they are in a dominating position, all thanks to poor shot-making from the India batters. This time Rinku Singh tried to play a pull shot on the bowling of Tendai Chatara and the extra bounce got better of him. He edged the ball before Brian Bennett took a fine catch.IND 22/4 (5)
- 18:44 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: OUT!Another debutant departs cheaply. That is simply a useless shot from Riyan Parag. He tried to hit a lofted shot over the mid-off and found Brandon Mavuta. India are in some trouble here as they have lost three quick wickets in the game.IND 22/3 (4.4)
- 18:32 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: FOUR!It was turning out to be another maiden over from Zimbabwe but Shubman Gill hit a four on the fifth ball to get off the mark. W Masakadza bowled a length delivery with a bit of width on offer and Gill slashed it away through the backward point for a four.IND 4/1 (2)
- 18:26 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: OUT!Poor start for Abhishek Sharma. He played three dot balls before getting dismissed by Brian Bennett on the fourth ball of the over. It turned out to be a maiden over with a wicket. This is superb start from Zimbabwe. Can they keep the noose tightened?IND 0/1 (1)
- 18:18 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: Target for India is 116Zimbabwe end at 115 for 9 in 20 overs. They have set a target of 116 runs for India. This is a below-par score on this surface as it is good for batting. India's squad might be having some less experience of international cricket but they are all quality players.ZIM 115/9 (20)
- 17:54 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: WICKET!Another wicket for Ravi Bishnoi. He is simply unplayable for the Zimbabwe batters. It was another googly from the spinner and that hit the stumps of Blessing Muzarabani. The batter went for a big shot but missed the ball completely.ZIM 90/9 (15.3)
- 17:49 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: WICKET!A third wicket for Ravi Bishnoi. Another googly from him and another Zimbabwe batter bites the dust. Luke Jongwe missed the ball completely and that hit on his pad. Umpire raised his finger and even a review could not save the batter as the ball was found to be clipping the leg stump.ZIM 90/8 (15.1)
- 17:42 (IST)
- 17:34 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: Run-out!Johnathan Campbell hit the ball on the off side and ran to take a single before changing his decision. By that time, Dion Myers ran to the other end. Washington Sundar collected the ball after running to point and threw the ball into the hands of Avesh Khan, who dislodged the bails at the non-striker's end. Given Myers took the crease at the other end before Campbell, the latter had to depart.ZIM 74/5 (12)
- 17:30 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: OUT!Skahndar Raza is gone! It was a short ball from Avesh Khan outside off stump and Raza pulled it to deep mid-wicket where Ravi Bishnoi took a really good catch. This was always coming as Avesh had put Raza under pressure by bowling three consecutive dot balls before this.ZIM 74/4 (11.5)
- 17:24 (IST)India vs Zimbabwe Live Score: End of 10 overs!Nine runs came off Avesh Khan's first over. He was smashed for a six down the ground by Sikandar Raza on the second ball of the over. Zimbabwe's scoring rate has been decent but they need a good partnership to make a comeback.ZIM 69/3 (10)
- 17:01 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: WICKET!Second wicket goes down for Zimbabwe. Ravi Bishnoi's googly outfoxed Brian Bennett and hit the off stump before the bail got dislodged. The ground umpires sent it for a review and the TV umpire did a little mistake before giving the right decision. After having a check, the third umpire gave it not out before quickly reversing his decision.ZIM 40/2 (5.1)
- 16:43 (IST)India vs Zimbabwe Live Score: Good comeback from ZimbabweDespite losing the precious wicket of Innocent Kia to Mukesh Kumar, Zimbabwe make solid comeback in the remaining over. In the rest of five balls, Brian Bennett smashes two brilliant boundaries as Mukesh concedes 8 runs. Zimbabwe now rely on Bennett and Wessly Madhevere for a stable partnership.ZIM 14/1 (2 overs)
- 16:17 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live Score: Here are the playing XIs -India: Shubman Gill(c), Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel(w), Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel AhmedZimbabwe: Tadiwanashe Marumani, Innocent Kaia, Brian Bennett, Sikandar Raza(c), Dion Myers, Johnathan Campbell, Clive Madande(w), Wessly Madhevere, Luke Jongwe, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chatara
- 16:13 (IST)IND vs ZIM Live: Raza wants his boys to fight"I don't mind batting first. The wicket looks good. Zimbabwe cricket has trusted me with this transition phase. I look for young boys to come out and fight. It is humbling to lead this bunch. Sean has retired. It is a young side. Ervine will have a role in future," said Sikandar Raza.
- 16:07 (IST)India vs Zimbabwe Live Score: "Looks like a good surface," says Gill"We will field first. I think it looks like a good surface. It won't change much later. It has been long coming. We won an ICC event after 11 years. You always have some expectations from yourself. We have three debutants. Sharma, Jurel and Parag make their debuts," said Shubman Gill.
