Yash Thakur (2\/45) removed Dion Myers and captain <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/player-profile\/sikandar-raza\/25422\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sikandar Raza<\/a> off successive deliveries in the fourth over, reducing the hosts to 34\/3.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Qkqxz\">\n<h2>CJP Jantar Mantar Protest Updates<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Earlier, Mayank Yadav (3\/29) gave India the perfect start by dismissing Brian Bennett with the first ball of the innings. Bowling with pace and accuracy, Mayank kept Zimbabwe under pressure throughout.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>India also dropped four catches and leaked a couple of boundaries in another below-par fielding display.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Burl tried to revive the chase with a 60-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Wesley Madhevere (28), but Zimbabwe had already lost too many wickets to stay in the contest.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Earlier, India also suffered an early setback after choosing to bat, losing Abhishek Sharma for 2. The left-hander edged Blessing Muzarabani to wicketkeeper Tadi Marumani, extending his poor run in T20Is. Abhishek&#8217;s last six scores now read: 10, 16, 3, 1, 8 and 2, dating back to the third T20I against England in Nottingham last month.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Sooryavanshi, however, adapted well to the conditions. The 15-year-old paced his innings carefully on the slow Harare Sports Club surface. <!-- -->He scored just 11 runs from his first 10 balls and added 15 more in the next 10 deliveries before bringing up his second T20I fifty in 31 balls.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>The <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/bihar\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bihar<\/a> batter still produced some eye-catching shots. He drove Brad Evans through the straight boundary off a yorker and later hit Sikandar Raza for a 102-metre six. He also played a reverse sweep for four against Wesley Madhevere. Overall, it was a controlled innings from the teenager.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Sooryavanshi added 75 runs for the second wicket with Ishan Kishan (29) before sharing another 50-run stand with captain <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/shreyas-iyer\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shreyas Iyer<\/a> (27).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>He missed out on a century when Brad Evans took a catch at long-off off Madhevere&#8217;s bowling.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>After the dismissals of Sooryavanshi and Shreyas, India&#8217;s middle order could not score quickly. The team managed only 47 runs in the final five overs, with Rinku Singh&#8217;s 25 off 14 balls helping India finish close to the 200-run mark.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"
