The Zimbabwean side could finally put up a positive show as they defeated the Indians by 10 runs in the second T20I. The hosts decided to bat first and got to 145 in their allocated 20 overs. Considering the might of the Indian batting, the target should have been chased down with a few overs to spare. But the Zimbabwean bowlers and fielders put on a spirited show to deny Indians a win. The hosts won the game by 10 runs.
Twitter as usual, was buzzing with activity during the course of the game. Below, are some of the tweets from the second T20I between Zimbabwe and India.
