Harare Sports Club: Fast-bowler Mukesh Kumar picked his career-best figures in T20Is through a spell of 4-22 as India beat Zimbabwe by 42 runs in the fifth and final game at the Harare Sports Club to win the series 4-1.
Vice-captain Sanju Samson smashed his second T20I fifty through a 45-ball 58, while Shivam Dube hit a quick cameo of 26 at the end to power India to a competitive 167/6. In reply, Mukesh struck twice with the new ball to put Zimbabwe in early trouble.
Dion Myers and Tadiwanashe Marumani kept Zimbabwe in the hunt, but a collapse saw the hosts’ go from 85/3 to 94/7 and be eventually run-out for 125 in 18.3 overs, as India got a series win after losing the opening match by 13 runs.
