Heroic half-centuries from Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma powered India to 219/5 against Zimbabwe in the second T20 International at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.
India suffered an early setback, losing both openers with the score on 29. Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi managed 20 off just nine balls, while Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for eight.
From there, Kishan and captain Shreyas Iyer steadied the innings while maintaining the scoring rate. Iyer made 25 before being dismissed, bringing Tilak Varma to the crease.
Kishan looked set for a century as he dominated the Zimbabwe bowlers, but Newman Nyamhuri cut short his innings on 81. Rinku Singh chipped in with a quick 12, while Tilak accelerated brilliantly in the closing overs to guide India to 219/5. Tilak remained unbeaten on 60.
