Ball by Ball Commentary & Live Score - ZIM vs IND, 17th Match

India thus win this by 83 runs, a good performance after being criticised roundly at home and abroad for their recent performances in the World Cup

Put in to bat, India got a good score behind them, with Sachin Tendulkar looking in promising touch. But the target could still have been chased on what was a decent batting wicket, so it was to India's bowlers that it fell to ensure that their side won the game

The surprise package in the bowling department was Sourav Ganguly, who picked three for 22 with some intelligent wicket-to-wicket bowling India now have two wins from three matches, as does Zimbabwe.

India play their next match on Feb 23 against Namibia, while Zimbabwe play on Feb 24 against . Do join us for those, and other World Cup matches. Till then, goodbye.
