Watch Cricket Highlights Zimbabwe vs India Match Highlights 2016, Watch Cricket Highlights Zimbabwe vs India Match Highlights 2016.HARARE (Reuters) - Elton Chigumbura smashed an unbeaten 54 from 26 balls as Zimbabwe stunned India with a two run win in the first Twenty20 International at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.

Chigumbura pummelled seven sixes as he took Zimbabwe to 170 for six in their 20 overs having been sent into bat by the tourists.India lost opener Lokesh Rahul on his Twenty20 debut in the first ball of their reply, but they went into the final over from seamer Neville Madziva needing eight to win.
That was reduced to four off the last ball with Mahendra Singh Dhoni on strike, but he could only bludgeon the ball to deep point and Zimbabwe celebrated a second consecutive victory over India in the 20-over format.
Aside from Chigumbura, Malcolm Waller (30 from 21 balls) and opener Hamilton Masakadza (25 from 15 balls) gave Zimbabwe their highest score against India in Twenty20 cricket.
This is where you have to personally tell them as to ‘this could have been done at that point of time.’ And also that’s how you learn. It is not that you have to commit a mistake to learn.”The loss was a rude shock for the team that steamrolled Zimbabwe in the preceding three ODIs. Dhoni said the result proves every international team needs to be respected.
“It doesn’t matter which team you are playing. It is a levelling experience. What I mean by that is you need to give a lot of respect to cricket and when you go in to bat or bowl in the field, irrespective of the opposition, you have to be at your best.
“You can’t play with your reputation or playing eleven that looks good on paper. What is important is how well you play on the field, how well you are executing. It is the cricket that wins you the games, not the teams. I felt we were way off today, both in the bowling and the batting department,” he added.
The BCCI, on its part, refused to comment, claiming that it is yet to ascertain the exact facts of the issue. "We are keeping a close watch on the development. It is a serious issue. Being aware of the sensitive nature of the issue, the BCCI won't make comments without ascertaining facts," said a top Board official on condition of anonymity.

India vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20 live streaming highlight Sports Live icc

India vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20 live streaming highlight Sports Live icc, India vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20 live streaming highlight Sports Live icc. India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hopes the youngsters in the squad learn from their mistakes after a shock loss to Zimbabwe in the opening T20 International in Harare.

The young Indian batsmen thew their wickets away at crucial junctures as the visitors ended up losing the game by two runs in Harare on Saturday.Dhoni hopes the fresh faces don’t make the same mistakes in the second game here tomorrow.“I feel, though we lost the game — it is disappointing — it is still a learning curve for the youngsters, provided they are learning out of it,” said Dhoni.
“You have to take it in a serious manner because whenever you will represent the country, whenever they get a chance to be part of the proper Indian team for a consistent period of time, they will feel the pressure. That will be the time when a game like this or a tour like this will really help them ease out that pressure,” he said further.
The captain himself failed to get his team over the line as India could not get eight runs off the final over with pacer Neville Madziva holding his nerve. He said he should have completed the job but expected a more sensible approach from his batsmen.
NEW DELHI: India's cricket tour of Zimbabwe was today hit by a massive controversy after an official associated with one of the sponsors of the series was arrested for alleged rape even though he pleaded innocence to the charge.
The storm erupted after the Zimbabwean media reported that an unnamed Indian cricketer had been arrested on charges of rape. The reports stated that India's ambassador to the African nation, R Masakui, had tried to prevent the player's arrest last night at a Harare hotel.
I felt the last ball was brilliant but that is what my job is, so maybe I am the person to finish the job. But at the same time, we kept losing wickets and what happens at that stage is that you are losing wickets and you are giving one dot ball and at the same time, the set batsman is not getting strike.
“I felt the batsmen will have to take the responsibility. The reason being, few of them, they were set, they were batting well. When you are chasing targets, you need to take it to the end and then look to play the shots. That was something that was lacking in this game,” Dhoni pointed out.
The second string squad for the tour was picked in the absence of seniors and Dhoni said the rookie players must make the most of the opportunity. The skipper said he batted at six to give others more time in the middle.

Watch Cricket Highlights India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 Highlights Today 18 June 2016

Watch Cricket Highlights India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 Highlights Today 18 June 2016.Watch Cricket Highlights India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 Highlights Today 18 June 2016.The second string squad was picked to test the team's bench strength and the youngsters had the ideal platform to perform at the back of a resounding series win in the preceding three ODIs. However, they wilted under pressure when challenged for the first time in the series.

While the batsmen did not show composure required at the highest level, the bowlers, who were given opportunity for the first time on the tour, disappointed.Credit should go to Zimbabwe for their performance after a humiliating loss in the ODIs but they were allowed to play big shots by the erring Indian bowlers to post 170.
All-rounder Rishi Dhawan, representing India for the first time since the Australia tour and making his T20 International debut, put up an ordinary effort leaking 42 runs in four overs.
Pressure was also on pacer Jaydev Unadkat, who was in India colours for the first time in almost three years. Making his debut in the format, Unadkat was not consistent with his line and length and paid the price for it.
It remains to be seen whether he gets another game after ending with figures of 0/43 or Barinder Sran and Dhawal Kulkarni come back to bowl with the new ball, pushing Dhawan out of the eleven too.
Leggie Yuzvendra Chahal, who impressed in ODIs, also had an off day and he would be aiming to bounce back strongly.
Ahead of the must-win game, Dhoni warned his men to not repeat the same mistakes in the remaining gamesThough spinner Jayant Yadav was the only one to not get an opportunity in the 16-man squad, Dhoni is expected to get back to his full strength bowling attack.
India did not see the loss coming after a cakewalk in the ODIs, giving Zimbabwe a much-needed morale boost to press for another win.Saturday's clash was a day of memorable moments and important life lessons. Finally, after a week full of disappointments, the hosts finally broke into frenzied celebrations following Neville Madziva's terrific final over, in which he managed to prevent proven match-winner and Indian captain Dhoni from scoring the required four runs off the last ball. The way Madziva pulled out a stump and ran towards long-off a-la Imran Tahir tells you how badly the bottom-ranked Test side have been waiting to celebrate in this manner, given the fact that they have hardly been winning anything in recent times.
The top discussion on social media following Zimbabwe’s upset win was Dhoni — from his ability to finish matches, or captaining the limited-overs side in the first place. Indeed, Dhoni has not been having the best of run in recent times, something that was only compounded by Rising Pune Supergiants' (RPS) second-last finish in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL). Although a 3-0 blanking of the hosts in the ODI leg of the ongoing tour wouldn't lend him much credibility, the latest loss has only armed his critics with new barbs to be thrown at him.

Madziva's final over, reminiscent of a similar one by Kagiso Rabada against the same batsman in an ODI last year, has brought up the debate of Dhoni's finishing ability once again, and though a couple of failures will not do much to tarnish his legacy as a finisher par excellence, he will have to soon produce the match-winning performances if he is to preserve that legacy.The BCCI, on its part, refused to comment, claiming that it is yet to ascertain the exact facts of the issue. "We are keeping a close watch on the development. It is a serious issue. Being aware of the sensitive nature of the issue, the BCCI won't make comments without ascertaining facts," said a top Board official on condition of anonymity.
India are currently engaged in a three-match Twenty20 series against the hosts after sweeping the ODIs 3-0.

Virat Kohli, India's Team Selection, and M.S. Dhoni's Captaincy

Virat Kohli, India's Team Selection, and M.s. Dhoni's Captaincy .Here's Why MS Dhoni Should Quit.what happened with the Indian cricket group on their recently closed tour to New Zealand? A ceremonial after death has welcomed the group when it returned home.it need to, not surprisingly, begin at the top. Should Dhoni proceed as chief after his group's series of annihilations abroad in the last couple of years? Does he merit a spot in the Test eleven as a wicketkeeper-batsman? Most importantly, have India the stomach to battle it out abroad? 

The jury is still out. Some previous chiefs need Dhoni to stay in light of the fact that the World Cup is scarcely a year away and he should shield the Cup he won for India following 28 years. A few others need him to go from the Test side to begin with, all of a sudden discovering him excessively protective in the wake of hailing him as an innovative and inventive pioneer not long ago!the solitary previous India skipper who was a witness to the happenings in the arrangement from the ringside situate as an observer takes a beneficent perspective, saying the commander is just tantamount to his group even as he took potshots at India's super-control status in world cricket. Sunil Gavaskar ought to know, having been a piece of the a game of seat juggling in his playing days with Kapil Dev.
The "evacuate chief" battle is a sickeningly old hobby. When the appearance of the 24x7 TV stations and their Trps, a percentage of the broadsheet daily papers assumed the part of tabloids by getting down to business with surveys for getting the skipper sacked after several shocking tours overseas.while conditions in New Zealand dependably posture incredible challenge for touring groups, the Indians would've been favored to win what was required to be an acutely challenged arrangement.
In their last two tours (South Africa and New Zealand), the Indian batting lineup has demonstrated to its class and released any questions in regards to its capacity to play quick playing in pace-accommodating conditions.however, it is India's rocking the bowling alley assault that has as a rule been discovered needing. Ishant Sharma has found his musicality at the end of the day, Mohammed Shami dishes reliably well yet on occasion without good fortune, and Zaheer Khan has blown a bit hot and chilly, neglecting to give unwavering quality to the pace strike.
In the first Test against South Africa, and the second Test against New Zealand, India place itself in a telling position to record farfetched triumphs far from home. With just a couple of additional wickets required to nail the casket close, the Indian quick bowlers used up gas on both occasions.with no real quick rocking the bowling alley all-rounder upcoming, the Indian group choice has been a touch of confusing and unreasonably protective minded.
Dhoni's strategies when things aren't working out as expected have raised a couple of eyebrows, yet when your bowlers can't make it happen in the wake of finishing all the diligent work and your fielders are grassing simple gets, there isn't a ton the skipper can do.dhoni, alongside administration, will need to take a strong venture forward in the event that they need to begin winning far from home. Dropping the conflicting Rohit Sharma and reinstating him with Ravichandran Ashwin will add an alternate quality bowler to the team.but, Kohli, himself has been in amazing structure in all configurations of the diversion, which may provide for him some abundantly required certainty while heading the side. Few comfort throne commentators are additionally of the view that it`s as an incredible chance for Kohli to demonstrate his accreditations as a captain. So one thing is certain that it`s going to be a corrosive test for Kohli when he heads the side in the two-week long occasion.
