had to pay the price for poor fielding
Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza said after the defeat, 'The world champion team will play like a world champion. I think our fielding was not good. We missed some chances for which we had to pay the price.' Madhevere stood firm at one end but wickets kept falling at the other end and only formality was left. Madhevere faced 39 balls and hit three fours and a six. He added 41 runs in 32 balls for the eighth wicket with Jongwe. Apart from this, no significant partnership could be made.

India scored 30 runs more than expected
According to Sikandar Raza, 'We definitely had to pay the price for dropping catches. I was expecting 200 runs on this wicket today. But we scored 30 runs more. When we went out to chase the target, we thought it would be a very close match but it did not happen. Our top order flopped.'
