Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal delivered a masterful 93 off 53 balls, propelling India to a comprehensive 10-wicket triumph over Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club on Saturday. This win gave India an insurmountable 3-1 lead in the five-match T20 international series.

India, fielding a youthful squad devoid of several regular players, opted to bowl first and successfully restricted Zimbabwe to 152 for seven in their 20 overs. The target was easily achieved, with 28 balls to spare.

This marks only the second time India has won a T20 match by 10 wickets, the previous instance occurring against the same team at the same venue in 2016. Despite a solid start with a 63-run opening partnership, Zimbabwe struggled to maintain momentum and lost wickets frequently. Captain Sikandar Raza's 46 from 28 balls was the highlight of their innings, while Khaleel Ahmed led India's bowling with figures of 2-32.

Jaiswal and skipper Shubman Gill (58 off 39 balls) clinched the victory in style, hitting a flurry of boundaries. The series concludes with the fifth match on Sunday at the same venue.
