Bowlers won us the match: MS Dhoni

Bowlers won us the match: MS Dhoni   Harare: Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni was pleased with the way his bowlers performed on Monday as India decimated Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in the second T20 to level the three-match series in style here. Led by paceman Barinder Sran, who returned best bowling figures for India on T20 debut with a four-wicket haul, the visitors restricted to Zimbabwe 99 for nine and overhauled the target with consummate ease. "It is a big victory. The bowlers started it all, important to start well and they bowled at right length. I was a bit worried that it was the third match on the same wicket and we would have also batted if we had won the toss," said Dhoni at the post-match presentation ceremony. The Indian captain said that the good show by the bowlers was well complimented by the fielders. "Bowling was backed by some good fielding, I emphasized that we hard to run harder than we did in the last game. In the shorter format, it is very important," he said. Sran was adjudged the Man of the Match for his four for 10 from four overs. "It was fun, the ball swung. There was no pressure, the debut came late. I was not concentrating on pace but on swinging the ball since the pitch was suitable for that kind of bowling," he said. Home skipper Graeme Cremer said after scoring just 99 Zimbabwe were out of the game. "We started slowly and lost wickets at crucial times. It is disappointing after making a good start to the series. The pitch misbehaved a bit but getting bowled out for 99, just not good enough. Final on Wednesday, we still excited, we still believe we can win the series," he said.
