Zimbabwe got 287 by 10 wickets in 48.5 overs.

Zimbabwe give a target India 287 by all wickets in 48-5 overs. This is the good score for fighting in this match.'It was a slightly two-paced wicket at the start but it flattened out after 15 overs. It was a good partnership with Sean (Williams). Unfortunately, we are 30-40 runs short. They (India) have been bowling really well. Once we got the pace of the ball, we took some calculated risks.

We all know the batting power-house that they are. Anything over 300 was going to be competitive, but a little bit short in the end.'

On an even-paced wicket, the Indian batsmen should be confident of chasing down the target. However, if Zimbabwe can take a few wickets with the new ball, it should make for an interesting contest.

Earlier, the pacers bowled superbly to put the Indian team in pole position. Both Umesh Yadav and Shami bowled with unrelenting control and extracted bounce to pick up wickets with the new ball. Zimbabwe's top-order batsmen paid the price for hanging back in the crease. However, Taylor and to a lesser extent, Williams, scripted a fine turnaround. For India, Mohit Sharma made his mark with his variations and snared three wickets. Shami and Umesh took three wickets as well. Both the spinners struggled, especially with short straight boundaries in place.

It was Taylor's ability to play late and showcase good wrist-work that helped him to negotiate the Indian spinners. It has to be remembered that Sean Williams played a key role as well. Williams played with a full face of the bat, before using his feet and the depth of the crease to smash Ashwin for 16 runs in a single over. Williams was finally dismissed for a breezy innings of 50 in just 57 deliveries.

He used reverse sweeps, sweeps and danced down the wicket to check in a series of marvellous strokes. In the slog overs too, Taylor was in imperious touch as he collected boundaries at will in the 38th over of the innings. He soon composed his century in just 99 balls and reached the landmark in style by ramping Mohammed Shami for a six. He became the first player from Zimbabwe to score back-to-back centuries in World Cups. He now also has the most number of hundreds for Zimbabwe in ODIs. Once Taylor completed his hundred, he thumped Jadeja for 24 runs in the 41st over.

It included two sixes and three boundaries. Craig Ervine played the second fiddle to Taylor in what turned out to be a partnership dominated by Zimbabwe's captain. Once both the batsmen were dismissed, Sikandar Raza, with his pyrotechnics tried to make sure that Zimbabwe's innings won't run out of steam, but the pacers came back strongly to bowl out the opposition. India now have bowled out the opposition in every match in this World Cup.

Brendan Taylor, in his last match for Zimbabwe, unfurled a slew of thunderous strokes to power them to a good total on the board. Dripping with brilliant stroke-play, Taylor lit up the Eden Park stadium. In particular, he took a heavy toll of Indian spinners, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.

When Zimbabwe smashed Jadeja for 25 runs in the 41st over, it looked like 300 was a certainty, but the Indian bowlers have come back well to take the last 6 wickets for just 52 runs.

48.5 U Yadav to Chatara, out Bowled!! Full and straight. You miss, I hit! Chatara doesn't get behind the line, beaten for pace again. He looks to play it to the on-side, but misses and the ball crashes into middle and off. Zimbabwe are all-out for 287. Chatara b U Yadav 0(3)
