Twitter reactions: Zimbabwe defeat India in the 1st T20I
Jun 18, 2016 at 8:20 PM
Zimbabwe batting first scored a competitive total of 176 against India in the first T20 at Harare Sports Club. Elton Chigumbura scored 54 and Sikandar Raza, Chamu Chibhabha, Hamilton Masakadza and Malcolm Waller made some small but important contribution that helped Zimbabwe to post a daunting total against India.
Manish Pandey’s gusty batting and Axar Patel’s batting at the death over was not enough to win the match. Zimbabwe’s fast bowler Neville Madziva kept Indian batsmen in check and defended 8 runs in the last over. Indian captain MS Dhoni failed to pierce the ball through the fielders for four to win the match. With this victory, Zimbabwe take the 1-0 series lead.
Twitter reacted:
Endearing to see such passion among Zimbabweans. Despite losing 90% of their matches, the amount support they have is unbelievable #ZIMvIND
