India have registered a massive milestone in T20 cricket after humbling down Zimbabwe in the 4th T20I of the five-match series at Harare Sports Club on Saturday, July 13. The Shubman Gill-led team eased past Sikandar Raza's Zimbabwe with a huge 10-wicket win. The Men in Blue have clinched the T20I series with a game to go and have also registered a massive milestone.
This was India's 50th T20I win at home of the opposition. They have become the second team to have at least 50 wins at the oppositions' home. The first ones are Pakistan, who also have 50 wins to their name.
Teams with most wins at oppositions' home:
Pakistan: 50 wins in 95 matches
India: 50 wins in 82 matches
Australia: 39 wins in 79 matches
New Zealand: 37 wins in 74 matches
England: 35 wins in 76 matches
The visitors were dominant throughout the fourth T20I. They bossed the Chevrons in batting-friendly conditions first with the ball and then the openers led the way in a 153-run chase. Captain Shubman Gill and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal remained unbeaten on 58 and 93, respectively. This was Gill's second fifty-plus score in the first four games of this series. He made 66 in the previous T20I win over the Chevrons. This is the only fifth occasion that a team has chased down a score of over 150 without losing a wicket.
This is India's only second 10-wicket win in the format. They outclassed Zimbabwe by 10 wickets earlier in 2016 when they chased down 100 in a T20I game, which was their first win without losing a wicket.
The bowlers did the job well on a good batting surface. Khaleel Ahmed took two wickets while other bowlers had decent outings too. Ravi Bishnoi did not pick a wicket but was the most economical bowler with figures of 0/22 in his four overs.
Debutant Tushar Deshpande, Washington Sundar, Abhishek Sharma and Shivam Dube also picked a wicket each to restrict the hosts to 152. The Indians were quick to race off the blocks. Jaiswal and Gill picked out 27 runs from the opening two overs. Jaiswal took down Chatara for four fours in 16-run third-over. At powerplay, the visitors were at 61/0.
Jaiswal was the aggressor in the unbeaten 156-run stand with Gill. This is now the second-highest stand for India while chasing in a T20I game. The highest stand is 165 between the same pair, which they put up last year vs West Indies.
