IND Vs ZIM, 4th T20I Highlights: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill Fifties Steer India To A 10-Wicket Win Against Zimbabwe In Harare

India made a mincemeat of a 153-run target as they crushed Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in the fourth T20 International to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series on Saturday.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hammered an unbeaten 93 off 52 balls with 12 fours and two sixes as India showed no qualms in knocking off the target, winning comfortably with 4.4 overs to spare.

Skipper Shubman Gill happily played the second fiddle as Jaiswal tore down the Zimbabwe bowling attack with disdain in a knock replete with boundaries all around the Harare Sports Club.

Yet, Gill finished at 58 not out off 39 balls with two sixes and six fours. India had earlier won the second and the third T20Is after suffering a surprise defeat in the opening match. (Scorecard | More Cricket News)

What's it going to be like in the fourth T20I match? Zimbabwe need a win to stay alive in the series whereas India are a win away from sealing it. Here's our preview of the 4th IND vs ZIM T20I.

I think it's the fielding again, we are proud of our fielding but the wheels came off today, we gave away 20 extra runs and we lost by 23 runs. We still have problems at the top but I have utmost faith in them that they will come good some time. We have tried 15 different partners (openers) in the last year and a half or so. There is a lot of cricket going on in the country and club cricket has revived. It's time that our players including myself take up the responsibility. The youngsters making mistakes is acceptable but the senior players need to step up. You cannot fix a problem by creating another problem, we have picked 3 openers for a reason. The openers that have been picked up should be given a run. (On Muzarabani) He he has been outstanding, sometimes the rewards don't come but in the long run the rewards do come.

Team India win the toss and have opted to bowl first in Harare.

*Today's match

I think the wicket was a bit damp and we thought 160 was par. But with the way they batted even 180 would have not been enough. We keep growing and learning from each game. I think 8-10 runs more in the last 5 overs. There was a bit of kick and bounce, so we had to rein ourselves in at the start of the innings. The heavy roller in the innings break did the trick for them, it became a beautiful wicket and they could play on the up. There is a game tomorrow and even if lose 3-2 then we can keep our head high.

Chasing was one thing we were talking about because we were not able to do that in the first T20. It feels good but the job is not done, we have one more game. This is a great team. I haven't had the discussion with the coach and if there are any changes then I will let you know at the toss.

The fifth and final T20I is tomorrow and the hosts will look to end on a high and put on a good performance in front of a sell-out crowd at the Harare Sports Club.

As for India, this will be their final game before the revised T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka that sees Gautam Gambhir at the helm as the new head coach.
