Thats all we have for you. Thanks for your company and your comments. Hope to see you in a couple of days time for the end of this tour with the second T20
Axar Patel is Man of the Match on T20I debut with 3 for 17: Obviously, I bowled to my strengths. Cut the pace off the ball, so batsmen cant hit me. So I was rewarded. I like the Dukes ball, more pronounced seam to grip
I think first of all we batted very well. Between 160 and 170 would be a good total and as I said at the toss, our spinners came handy. Became a little slower later on, but still the bowlers had to do well,Rahane says, No initial movement so slightly easier to bat in the first innings. The way we batted in the middle overs, taking singles and twos, that was crucial on a big ground
We were outclassed all around today. Its very disappointing, Chigumbura says, I thought we gave them 10 to 15 runs too many. And also in the second innings, the wicket got dryer and became two-paced. Became difficult to try and play some strokes. They bowled well as well, changing the pace. Mainly on the batting side was disappointing. It doesnt help when you lose wickets [spinners strangling them] Credit to the bowlers. Important to try and play our best cricket on Sunday and hopefully we get a better result
4.15 pm Only 11 boundaries. Very few singles. Zimbabwe just couldnt find a way to score. Meanwhile the required rate kept mounting; the dot-ball percentage was 50% They needed 92 runs in the final five overs, way too much to leave for the big boom. Much of that was because of Axar Patel and Harbhajan Singh, who hustled three men out in 10 balls. Just stifling line bowling, helped by a pretty slow pitch that was about as conducive for shot making as an angry porcupine is for petting
rana: "Notice the irony..... the last two batsmen have the best strike rate!"

The losses kept piling up and there were off-field troubles as well. But Zimbabwe decided enough was enough and their stand-in captain was at the centre of a stirring victory
Rahane dismisses chasing troubles
India were asked to chase for the first time on the tour, but they fell short of a target of 146 against Zimbabwe. Ajinkya Rahane accepted that they didn't bat well, but said chasing "wasn't an issue"
