Power-packed fifties by Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma worked well with bowlers’ diligence as India trumped Zimbabwe by 90 runs in the second T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series here on Saturday.

Chasing 220 was never going to be easy for the Africans and the fate of the match was sealed when they lost five wickets inside nine overs. Eventually they were bundled out for 129, well short of India’s 219-5, which was constructed around Kishan’s 81 off 44 balls and Tilak’s unbeaten 60 off 29 balls.
