Teenager Sooryavanshi blasts 50 off 18 as India cruises past Zimbabwe

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP): The 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hit his first international half-century for India as Zimbabwe were comfortably beaten by seven wickets in a Twenty20 yesterday. Sooryavanshi scored 50 off 18 balls. He was out next ball at 68-2, top-edging an attempted cut at Richard Ngarava. But the teenager had turned the chase of 126 into a doddle and Shreyas Iyer was in the middle at 126-3 to celebrate his first win as captain in eight T20s. Zimbabwe made 125-7 after Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav took two wickets each.
