This match was a series of One Day International (ODI) between these two nations.

#Zimbabwe vs India 1st T20I
Zimbabwe was bowled out for a subpar total of 152/7 by India at Harare Sports Club. Sikandar Raza scored an outstanding 28-ball 46, but several wickets throughout put Zimbabwe back on its heels.
Washington Sundar quickly dispatched two wickets early in their innings through quick-fire deliveries from Ruturaj Gaikwad, as Abhishek Sharma tapped a loose delivery straight to the midwicket fielder for four, and Abhishek was bowled by a yorker on his thigh for one run. Ravi Bishnoi then struck again, dismissing Gaikwad twice consecutively to secure victory for the home team.
Blessing Muzarabani joins the party but gets off to an unimpressive start when his initial ball is put down by fielders. On his sixth ball, he hits one for four – clearing the short third-man fence by hitting it swat-style; also, four more runs come off another short delivery on his leg side from which Muzarabani grabs another boundary hit with an aggressive sweep shot off an offspinner delivery.

#Zimbabwe vs India 2nd T20I
India and Zimbabwe, defeated in game 1, will resume their five-match Twenty20 International series, starting with a game at Harare Sports Club today. Continuing from a loss of game one, Zimbabwe will be ready to bounce back with a great performance to catch up with India.
Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad have taken their places at the Indian crease, while Wellington Masakadza leads Zimbabwe’s bowling attack. Gaikwad made an early impression, hitting a boundary off his fourth delivery, but India’s batsmen continued their assault against Zimbabwean bowlers.
Ravi Bishnoi takes over for Mukesh Kumar, who overstepped on the previous delivery. Madhevere immediately punished Ravi with a four toward extra cover that helped generate 16 runs from this over.
Mukesh returns with his bowling arm in hand and begins by bowling a full length outside off to Luke Jongwe, but the ball sails high over the slip fielder’s head and into the air.
Avesh Khan comes into the bowl and hits a short delivery that Tendai Chatara attempts to ramp away but misses entirely.
#Zimbabwe vs India 3rd T20I
India managed to recover quickly after losing their opening match of this series by winning both subsequent ones, taking an unassailable 2-1 lead into Saturday’s finale at Harare Sports Club at 1:00 pm local time (approximately 3.5 hours behind Indian Standard Time (IST)).
Rohit Sharma hit a fifty in India’s 22-run win against Zimbabwe in their inaugural T20I series matchup, led by Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad, who each scored half-centuries to put Rohit on top and help put his side ahead in terms of runs scored.
The Men in Blue got off to an impressive start, scoring 112/5 in 20 overs before losing three wickets during their powerplay and falling backward in their pursuit. Blessing Muzarabani and Sikandar Raza took vital wickets, including Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, and Clive Madande, to reduce them to 85/4 as chasers.
But they managed to score some big runs – including an impressive six from Rinku Singh – to reach 200 runs before Washington Sundar took Johnathan Campbell’s wicket and sealed India’s win.
#Zimbabwe vs India 4th T20I
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill’s outstanding unbeaten 93 helped India level the five-match series 1-1 as Zimbabwe were reeling.

India Vs Zimbabwe Live Score: Young India batsmen have been on an excellent run, and it will likely only be a matter of time before their visitors make it 3-0 in this series. Skipper Shubman Gill will aim to continue his excellent form while pacers Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, and Khaleel Ahmed aim to cement their spots in the team – not forgetting young IPL talents Abhishek Sharma, Dhruv Jurel, and Riyan Parag who all hope to impress during national team matches.
Zimbabwe openers Sikandar Raza and Tendai Chatara could not capitalize on their early bright start as the Men In Blue picked off wickets at an alarming rate to bring their total down quickly to 154/6 after 20 overs as their hosts struggled to match the scoring rate.
Men In Blue will soon begin their run-chase.
Jaiswal continued his impressive form by hitting Sikandar Raza for six off the first ball of an over. Later, he hit him again for another boundary to put his team in an advantageous position.
Zakir Hasan’s first over is costly as he concedes five runs off three balls. But his fortune changes drastically in the second over when Chatara fails to hold onto one of Hasan’s short balls that lands safely at midwicket. Dion Myers clears a short third-man fielder for four runs as Zimbabwe reaches 76/2 after ten overs. India beat Zimbabwe by 23 runs.
