India almost suffered their first ODI defeat against Zimbabwe in nearly a decade on Monday when a certain Sikandar Raza played a gem of an innings while chasing a target of 290 runs. At Harare Sports Club, KL Rahul won the toss again but opted to bat first this time. Shubman Gill (130 off 97) hit his maiden international ton as the visitors reached 289/9, a total which initially looked intimidating enough considering the previous two matches. Then, Raza scored 115 off 95 to almost pulled off the win for the hosts. But he was caught by Gill in the penultimate over when the equation was 15 in 9.
