However, it was Suryakumar Yadav who impressed again with his power batting in the death overs. SKY slammed 61 runs off 25 deliveries with 6-boundaries and 4-sixes!

In reply, Zimbabwe were never in the chase, as they were jolted at regular intervals by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohd Shami and Hardik Pandya. R Ashwin returned with superb figures of 3 wickets for 22 runs to wrap the Zimbabwean innings cheaply.

In the T20 World Cup Semi Finals, India will now play England on 10 November, Thursday, at the Adelaide Oval.
