1st T20I: Mayank And Prince Pick Two Scalps Each As India Restrict Zimbabwe To 125/7
Harare Sports Club: Dynamic Delhi-based fast bowling duo Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav delivered a masterclass in aggressive fast bowling as India restricted Zimbabwe to a modest 125/7 in the first T20I at the Harare Sports Club on Thursday.
Opting to field after winning the toss, skipper Shreyas Iyer deployed an all-out pace assault that immediately put the hosts on the back foot on a track offering spongy bounce, especially with Zimbabwe batters unable to handle pace and brilliant lines and lengths employed by Mayank.
While Mayank took 2-18, Prince picked 2-19, with Shivam Dube and Ravi Bishnoi having a scalp each. At 32/4, Zimbabwe were on the verge of getting a total less than 100.
