India Vs Zimbabwe

July-19-2013
India 187 for 3 (Kohli 68*) beat Zimbabwe 183 (Williams 45, Mishra 4-47) by seven wickets.

A quick end to the Zimbabwe innings seemed imminent but the bottom three weren't about to throw their wickets away. Chatara's hook for six off Vinay was the highlight as the tail extended Zimbabwe's innings by more than 11 overs before Mishra returned to polish them off.

India leading series by 3-0.

Tri-Series Champion

July 11, 2013
West Indies - India - Sri Lanka



A thrilling end to a thrilling series. India, after losing their opening two games, have emerged deserved winners. Hosts West Indies were poor during the latter stages while Sri Lanka faltered when it mattered most. MS Dhoni will bag the limelight but Virat Kohli deserves the plaudits for leading India on most of the tour. The 2013 Champions Trophy winners have cemented their status and the world's No.1 ODI team.

  • Dhoni has got his 19th Man of the Match award in ODIs – his sixth against Sri Lanka.
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s tally of 10 wickets (ave.9.70) is his best performance in a series – also the highest in the just-concluded Tri series competition.
