IND vs ZIM 3rd T20I SCORECARD<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n Zimbabwe, 10 places below second-placed India in the world T20I rankings, reached 157-7 in reply thanks mainly to an unbeaten 54 from lower-order batter Ryan Burl.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Victory marked an Indian turnaround after a 2-0 T20I series loss in Ireland, then a 4-0 drubbing in England. It was the second straight series loss for Zimbabwe after going down 2-1 to Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n At 15, Sooryavanshi is the youngest cricketer to represent India. He has sparkled in southern Africa after debuting in the England series and amassing 42 runs over three innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Sooryavanshi has had a memorable tour of Zimbabwe. He scored his maiden T20I half-century off just 18 balls in the first match and followed it up with 20 off nine deliveries in the second.<\/p>\r\n\r\n He made his intentions clear from the first ball of final tour match. He launched the Indian innings with a four off Zimbabwe captain and all-rounder Sikandar Raza and reached 50 from 31 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n The teen fell off the final ball of the 14th over. Sooryavanshi was out off a Wessly Madhevere delivery when Brad Evans dashed from the ropes to long off and caught the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan (29), a half centurion on Saturday, did best among the other Indian batters, slamming four fours before being bowled by Raza.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Zimbabwe slumped to 65-4 in reply with opener Brian Bennett and Raza both dismissed for golden ducks. The highlight of the innings was a 60-run fifth-wicket stand between Burl and Madhevere (28).<\/p>\r\n\r\n Brief scores<\/p>\r\n\r\n India 192-5 in 20 overs (V. Sooryavanshi 81, I. Kishan 29; B.Evans 2-41) v Zimbabwe 157-7 in 20 overs (R. Burl 54 not out; M. Yadav 3-28)<\/p>\r\n\r\n Result: India won by 35 runs<\/p>\r\n\r\n Series: India won 3-0<\/p>\r\n\r\n Toss: India<\/p>\r\n",
