Zaheer Khan was to prove the pick of the Indian bowlers in the latter half of the evening. The left-arm quick drove home India's advantage when he dismissed Zimbabwean opener Dion Ebrahim leg before wicket with his fourth ball. Zaheer, then, came close to adding Andy Flower's wicket to his tally; he got the prolific Zimbabwean batsman, batting on 15 at that stage, to miscue a hook only to see Ashish Nehra patrolling the fine-leg fence drop a sitter.
