India completed another series victory in Zimbabwe as they rounded
off the three match Twenty20 International series 2-1 after a thrilling
last-ball finish in Harare on Wednesday (June 22). The hosts put up a
much better fight in the 20-over leg of the competition compared to the
One-Day Internationals (ODI). India scored just 138 in 20 overs
propelled by a late flourish by Kedar Jadhav and Axar Patel who added 43
off the last three overs which, in turn, turned out to be the
difference in the end.
