Team India received their second mauling in a week as they have been defeated by Zimbabwe for the second time in the Tri-series.This time a more convincing win for Zimbabwe with a bonus point....
It was a shock repeat for Team India who displayed a pathetic play in the tournament.Compelled to bat Indian team could score only 194/9 in 50 overs and that too thanks to Ravindra Jadeja for his 51 runs.If he was not there conditions will be even worse. Zimbabwe's bowling attack was very tight which is evident from the Indian openers score cards.Murali Vijay has to use56 balls for his 21 runs.Both openers could score only 61 runs in the first 20 overs.
Needing only a low score to chase,Zimbabwe started slowly,but only in the first four overs.Then they changed their gear and started to score quickly.When they are sure about their victory they took their batting powerplay and reached the target with 11.4 overs remaining which gave them valuable 5 points and they are through to the finals.
Now fro India toreach the final on June 9 they have to win the match against Srilanka and for th next match between Srilanka and Zimbabwe.
