SGTeenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored his maiden half-century in international cricket, hitting 50 runs from 19 balls, leading India to a seven-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the first Twenty20 International in Harare. Zimbabwe's total of 125 for seven was considered insufficient by India, who chased the target comfortably within 40 balls. Sooryavanshi's performance included four fours and four sixes, though he was dismissed by Richard Ngarava. Captain Shreyas Iyer contributed an unbeaten 28, while Ishan Kishan scored 35. Zimbabwe's Wessly Madhevere was their sole significant scorer with 39 runs. Several players made their T20 debuts for both teams, and the series continues with two more matches in Harare.
