Sooryavanshi carries India to commanding total
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's 81 off 49 balls set up India's 35-run victory at Harare Sports Club. The opener struck with intent from the start, anchoring a chase that saw India post 192 for 5 despite losing the toss.
Ishan Kishan contributed 29 off 26 deliveries in the middle order, while Shreyas Iyer's quickfire 27 off 18 balls accelerated the innings in the closing overs. Brad Evans took 2 for 41 for Zimbabwe, but couldn't stem India's run-scoring.
Zimbabwe's reply fell short despite Ryan Burl's 54 off 43 balls. The left-hander fought hard but lacked sufficient support. Wesley Madhevere made 28 and Ben Curran 20, but the chase stalled at 157 for 7.
Mayank Yadav was the standout bowler, claiming 3 for 29 to dismantle Zimbabwe's middle order. Yash Thakur took 2 for 45, keeping the hosts' scoring in check throughout the innings. Sikandar Raza's 1 for 40 offered little resistance to India's top-order aggression.
Sooryavanshi's aggressive fifty-plus score proved the difference in a match where India's batting depth and bowling discipline combined to seal the series momentum.
