Is that out? Shubman Gill sends it upstairs for an LBW review that was originally turned down by the umpire. The replay rolls on and the UltraEdge shows no spike as the ball passes the bat before hitting the pad. The Ball Tracking though shows that the ball was pitching outside leg! Hence the onfield call of NOT OUT stays.

Right then, that’s a wrap for this game as India continued to assert their dominance in T20I Cricket, sealing the series with a commanding 4-1 victory. Despite the loss, Zimbabwe displayed some commendable cricket and have plenty of positives to take forward. Up next, India will travel to Sri Lanka for an exciting 3-match T20I series followed by a 3-match ODI series. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe will gear up for a one-off Test against Ireland later this month. The cricketing action doesn’t stop here! Thrilling games are happening around the globe and you can stay updated by switching tabs for live scores and all the action.

OUT! CHOPPED ON! Mukesh Kumar gets the first breakthrough and Wessly Madhevere has to walk back for a duck! Kumar bangs it outside off, on a shorter length. The ball just nips back in a bit off the deck as Wessly Madhevere looks to cut it square of the wicket on the off side.
