India wrapped up the three-match Twenty20 International series with a commanding 90-run victory over Zimbabwe on Saturday, producing another dominant all-round display at Harare Sports Club to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
After Zimbabwe chose to field first, India recovered from an early wobble to pile up an imposing 219-5 before bowling out the hosts for 129 in 17.5 overs. The result came two days after India's seven-wicket victory in the series opener at the same venue.
Ishan Kishan anchored India's innings with a sparkling 81 off 44 balls, while Tilak Varma provided the finishing flourish with an unbeaten 60 from just 29 deliveries. Their explosive 94-run partnership for the fourth wicket came off only 44 balls and turned a competitive total into one well beyond Zimbabwe's reach.
India lost both openers inside the powerplay, with Abhishek Sharma departing for 8 and teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi making a brisk 20 off nine balls before falling.
Captain Shreyas Iyer added a composed 25 from 20 deliveries but was dismissed with India at 95-3, giving Zimbabwe a brief opening.
