Jaiswal, Gill lead India to third win over Zimbabwe

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal struck a superb 93 runs from 53 balls to guide the world cup winning team to a 10-wicket win over Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday and take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20 international series.

Skipper Shubman Gill scored 58 runs off 39 balls.

India won the toss and elected to bowl, restricting their hosts to 152 for seven in 20 overs before reaching their target with 28 deliveries remaining.   

It is the second time India have won a T20 fixture by 10 wickets, the last coming against the same opposition at the same venue in 2016, Reuters reports.  

Zimbabwe's captain Sikandar Raza top-scored in their innings with 46 from 28 balls after the home side made a good start with 63 for the first wicket between openers Wessly Madhevere (25) and Tadiwanashe Marumani (32).

The fifth and final match of the series will be played at the same venue on Sunday.
