India's score was 101/4 till 13.3 overs. If more wickets had fallen here, then it would have been difficult for Team India to reach 150, but Surya Kumar Yadav, who proved to be the most stormy batsman of this World Cup, had different intentions. He used a slew of strokes around the wicket and devastated Zimbabwe's attack. India scored 85 runs in the last 39 balls. Surya batted at a strike rate of 244 and scored 61 runs in just 25 balls.
