Harare: Mahendra Singh Dhoni has taken his side past the finishing line with his assured batting in crunch situtaions before, but he was unable to do so on Saturday against Zimbabwe since the last delivery bowled by paceman Neville Madziva was a "brilliant" one.

India needed four runs off the last ball to win the first T20 match but Dhoni could manage only one run with Madziva
bowling one outside the off stump, not giving Dhoni any scope to score a boundary.
