Zimbabwe National Cricket Team skipper Sikandar Raza didn't take long to make an impact with the ball in the ongoing fourth T20I against India National Cricket Team. The match between the two teams is underway at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Sunday (14th July).
Zimbabwe National Cricket Team won the toss and opted to field first. Skipper Sikandar Raza took the responsibility of bowling with the new ball and it wasn't the kind of start that he would've wanted. India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal hit the six on the first ball, which was also a no ball, of the match and put the bowler under pressure.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, however, didn't stop there as on the free hit he slammed Sikandar Raza for another six to take his team off to a flying start with the bat. The Zimbabwe National Cricket Team skipper then corrected his length and bowled two good balls to apply the breaks on the scoring card.
And then on the fourth ball of the match, Sikandar Raza took his revenge to perfection as he removed Yashasvi Jaiswal to draw the first blood for his team. The skipper ensured that the move to bowl first over pays off and his team gets off to a vital start.
Sikandar Raza bowled a full delivery that was inswinger and it swung in late. Yashasvi Jaiswal made room slightly and tried to drive outside the line of the ball. He came forward to drive it towards mid-on completely down the wrong line and the leg stump was pegged back.
Sikandar Raza got his moment in the game as after taking the wicket he ran away towards mid-wicket to celebrate. It was a good ball but Yashasvi Jaiswal played down the wrong line and ended up giving his wicket away after hitting two sixes.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a brutal 93 runs in the last game, couldn't make a bigger impact with the bat in the ongoing game. The batter scored 12 runs off 5 balls with two sixes to his name during his short stay at the crease.
After Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill perish for low scores
After Yashasvi Jaiswal got out, India came under a bit of pressure. Abhishek Sharma, who scored a brutal century in the second game, tried to be aggressive but couldn't carry on. He hit some crisp shots but perished after scoring 14 runs.
After that skipper Shubman Gill too couldn't get going. The opening batter who is the leading run-getter in the series couldn't make a big impact either. He scored just 13 runs off just 14 balls and with his wicket, India came under pressure.
India was left tottering at 40/3 and the onus now lies on Riyan Parag (22) and Sanju Samson. The duo has batted magnificently well and has brought the team back in the team. They added 65 runs partnership and put the opposition under pressure.
