For the visitors, Axar Patel, again showed good control and was rewarded with the wicket of Sean Williams. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled well in the slog overs and picked up two wickets. After a disappointing show in the first game, Zimbabwe need to up their game to overcome their fancied opponents.

On the back of Chamu Chibhabha's fine fifty, Zimbabwe reached a decent total on the board. Chibhabha showed good improvisation to keep the scorecard moving. In the 13th over, he showed his ability to improvise by collecting a couple of boundaries off Mohit Sharma. He also thwacked Mohit across the line for a four in the 18th over. Hamilton Masakadza too played a breezy knock, but threw his wicket away just when he had got set.

Both Raza and Rahane pose with the trophy. The T20I series is shared 1-1. That concludes proceedings from us. Hop tabs to catch all the action from "The Ashes" and the third ODI between Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Goodbye!

Raza: "It's a great honour to lead Zimbabwe. The fans were right behind us. We enjoyed the challenge of playing against India. We need to go on and achieve better things as a team. Hopefully we'll win more games and give the fans something to cheer about."

Rahane: "Let's give credit to Zimbabwe. They were fantastic with the ball and fielded well as well. 146 was achievable, the bowlers came back well. We didn't bat well, we accept that and we lost wickets at regular intervals. We played good cricket throughout the series, but disappointed to lose this one."

Chibhabha: "I've put in a lot of work, I am happy that I've contributed to the win. We lost a couple of wickets, so I looked to stick around a bit before playing my shots. Binny's catch was crucial."

Chamu Chibhabha is the Man of the Match

Earlier, Chibhabha's useful fifty helped the hosts to post a competitive total on the board. Axar Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were good with the ball and were rewarded with wickets. After losing all three ODIs and the first T20I, the hosts have a lot to cheer about with the way they played in this game. As far as the visitors are concerned, they put up a disappointing show with the bat.

Zimbabwe's spinners gave a good account of themselves as they pulled off an upset. It got tight in the end, but the hosts just about held their nerve to win. It was Mpofu, who bowled a fine last over. With this victory, Zimbabwe levelled the two-match T20I series 1-1. This was also their first victory against India in T20Is. Graeme Cremer was the pick of the bowlers with three scalps to his name. He was also economical. Prosper Utseya and Sean Williams too bowled well. For the visitors, Uthappa and Binny played handy knocks.

The Zimbabwean players are ecstatic, while their fans celebrate the win in the stands. The Indian team comes down to shake hands with the hosts.

Over: 20 3 1B W 2 1 1 IND 135/9
Sandeep Sharma 1(1) Mohit Sharma 3(3) Mpofu 3-0-26-1

19.6 - Mpofu to Sandeep Sharma, 1 run, that's it! Zimbabwe have recorded their first ever win against India in T20Is. This is also their first ever T20I victory in Harare. Low full toss on the stumps, Sandeep flicks it along the ground to deep mid-wicket. Zimbabwe had their chances during the ODI series, but they couldn't capture key moments, now they've managed to end the series on a high, much to the delight of the Zimbabwean fans

19.5 - Mpofu to Mohit Sharma, 1 run, a legal delivery will take Zimbabwe home now. Full and outside off stump, Mohit drives it down to long-off

19.4 - Mpofu to Mohit Sharma, 2 runs, in the airrrr and put down. What an acrobatic effort from the stand-in skipper. Full and outside off stump, Mohit mistimes the lofted-drive, Raza runs to his left from extra-cover, dives full length and gets a hand on it, but it pops out

Sandeep Sharma, right handed bat, comes to the crease

19.3 - Mpofu to Bhuvneshwar, out Bhuvneshwar Run Out!! Bhuvneshwar misses a low full toss outside off stump, he was aiming mid-wicket but he did not make contact. Mohit tried to take a bye, Bhuvneshwar was late to take off, the keeper fired the throw to the bowler, who ran back and under-armed the ball onto the stumps. Bhuvneshwar was out by a mile. Bhuvneshwar run out (Charles Coventry/Mpofu) 9(6)

Mpofu to Bhuvneshwar, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

19.2 - Mpofu to Mohit Sharma, byes, 1 run, full and outside off stump, Mohit swings and misses. Oh that was in the slot to be put away but the batsman missed it. The keeper fumbles and Bhuvneshwar steals a bye

19.1 - Mpofu to Bhuvneshwar, 3 runs, fantastic yorker on the stumps, Bhuvneshwar manages to squeeze it out through backward square leg, fine leg runs to his left and tidies up. Mohit races back for the third and had the keeper collected the throw cleanly, he would have been well short of the crease

19 needed off 6 balls. India need boundaries. Mpofu to bowl the last over. He's going to be very handy with his slower ones I guess. The crowd are up on their feet and dancing in the stands.

18.4 - Muzarabani to A Patel, out Caught by Sean Williams!! A full toss has got Muzarabani a wicket, but he won't mind. The crowd go berserk. It was there to be put away, Patel slogged across the line, much like Samson, he made good contact but hit it flat, the fielder at deep mid-wicket moved to his left and swallowed it. A Patel c Sean Williams b Muzarabani 13(15) [4s-1]

Muzarabani to A Patel, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

18.3 - Muzarabani to A Patel, no run, Axar Patel moves across the stumps way too early, Muzarabani saw that and cramped him for room with a toe-crusher, Patel can only manage to dig it out back to the bowler

18.2 - Muzarabani to Bhuvneshwar, 1 run, cheeky from Bhuvneshwar but he doesn't get the placement right. Full and outside off stump, Bhuvneshwar walks across the stumps and mistimes the scoop to deep backward square leg

18.1 - Muzarabani to Bhuvneshwar, 2 runs, excellent yorker on the stumps, Bhuvneshwar digs it out towards mid-wicket, calls 'two, two, two' and races back before the keeper collected the throw and whipped the bails off at the striker's end

India need 25 off 12 balls. Zimbabwe are favourites, but anything can happen. Both Axar Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar can bat.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, right handed bat, comes to the crease

17.4 - Mpofu to Samson, out Caught by M Waller!! The last recognised batsman falls. Full and in the slot, Samson tries to clear the boundary and goes for the lofted hit, hits it well but doesn't get the required elevation, long-on runs to his left and completes a good catch. The crowd get right behind the home team. India are under serious pressure. Samson c M Waller b Mpofu 19(24) [4s-1]

Mpofu to Samson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

The plan is very clear from Mpofu. He's going to bang them in and take pace off the ball to make life difficult for the batsmen.

17.3 - Mpofu to A Patel, 1 run, another slower ball banged in short, Patel pulls well but picks out deep mid-wicket

17.2 - Mpofu to A Patel, no run, Patel gives the charge but Mpofu bangs this slower ball very short, Patel tries to loft it over cover, but only manages to under edge it to the left of the bowler

Raza and Cremer have a chat about the field

16.3 - S Raza to A Patel, 1 run, driven down to long-on for an easy run

16.2 - S Raza to A Patel, no run, slower through the air and spinning away, pushed to point, two dot balls and the pressure is on the batsman

16.1 - S Raza to A Patel, no run, Raza starts with a darter, Patel looks to drive, was hurried by the pace, gets an inside edge onto pad and it rolls into the off-side

Cremer ends an excellent spell. His figures read, 4-0-18-3. India need 37 off 24 balls.

Axar Patel, left handed bat, comes to the crease

15.1 - Cremer to Binny, out Caught by Chibhabha!! In the airrrrr and that's a brilliant take by Chibhabha. The umpires are checking though. Looked like a clean catch, but the third umpire has been asked to check. The soft signal is OUT, it's a legal delivery. That looks very comfortable to me, OUT it will be and Binny has to walk back. Flighted delivery from Cremer, Binny was cramped for room as he advanced and tried to go inside-out over cover, hit it much straighter, long-off ran forward, dived and took a very good low catch. End of a vital 36-run stand. Is this the opening Zimbabwe needed to seal the game? Binny c Chibhabha b Cremer 24(23) [4s-2]

Cremer to Binny, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Graeme Cremer [3.0-0-14-2] is back into the attack

Binny walked down the track to a well flighted delivery and nudged it in front of square on the on-side, he was always coming back for the second.

This was the slider from Cremer, it went straight on after pitching, Pandey was looking to work it towards the on-side and missed. The impact was marginally outside leg. Manish bags a duck to end his tour. M Pandey lbw b Cremer 0(3)

Utseya to Rahane, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!
