Zimbabwe vs. India: Scorecard and Innings Recaps for 4th ODI

Zimbabwe have had no answer to India in this limited-overs series, and the World Cup winners were a class above once more in the fourth ODI in Bulawayo, winning by nine wickets and with almost 20 overs to spare.

The ICC have the full scorecard:

• Zimbabwe 144 all out (42.4 overs)

1. Sibanda b Jadeja 24(45)
2. Raza c Karthik b Sharma 7(17)
3. Masakadza runout (Jadeja) 10(15)
4. Taylor lbw Jadeja 0(9)
5. Williams b Unadkat 0(2)
6. Waller c Karthik b Sharma 35(77)
7. Chigumbura not out 50
8. Utseya c Sharma b Shami 1(12)
9. Chatara c Jadeja b Mishra 1(6)
10. Vitori b Mishra 8(6)
11. Chinuoya 0(1)

• India 145-1 (30.5 overs)

1. Pujara b Chatara 13(24)
2. Sharma not out 64(90)
3. Raina not out 65(71)

Zimbabwe were put in to bat, and they struggled immediately. 

By the time Brendan Taylor had departed for a duck, the home side were deep in trouble and on their way to 47-5.

India's bowlers all struck, with Amit Mishra's three scalps giving him the pick of the figures.

The hosts were indebted to a gritty unbeaten 50 from Elton Chigumbura to restore any dignity to the innings, but even so a total of 144 all out from 42.4 overs looked meagre—and so it proved.

Tendai Chatara gave Zimbabwe a moment of hope when he accounted for Cheteshwar Pujara for just 13 runs.

But thereafter Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina stole the show, both hitting unbeaten half-centuries in a confident unbroken stand that saw them over the line.

There is just one match left in the series now, and there's little reason on the evidence of the first four games to think that this too will not go the way of the tourists.
