India did not have to exert a lot as they muzzled Zimbabwe's challenge by 54 runs in the first T20 international and continued to remain unbeaten on the tour. It was India's third-largest victory in terms of runs and they stuck to a trusted, even if predictable, template: elect to bat on a dry surface, pile the runs and throw their spinners at the opposition.
India's batting was propelled by reasonable contributions by the top four, and despite slowing down in the middle stages, managed to find an extra gear to ransack 96 runs in the last 10 overs. Zimbabwe let themselves down by conceding 25 extras - the fourth-most in an innings in T20 internationals - and some sloppy fielding.
