Suresh Raina struck a quickfire 72 to guide India to a seven-wicket victory over Zimbabwe Sunday and a 2-0 win in their Twenty20 series. After limiting Zimbabwe to 140-5 at Harare Sports Club, India eased home with 144-3 and two overs to spare for a second victory in two days. Raina's undefeated knock - which included six fours and two sixes - came off 44 balls, while opener Murali Vijay scored 46 off 39. Raina came to the crease after opener Naman Ojha (10) had been caught on the boundary by Tendai Chatara off Raymond Price in the fifth over. The second wicket partnership ended when Vijay also tried to clear the boundary but was caught by Graeme Cremer in the deep off Chamu Chibhabha in the 15th over. However, India was left needing only another 30 runs to win the game with eight wickets and five overs in hand. Yusuf Pathan, who had been instrumental in Saturday's victory, did not last long. He was out for four when he skied a Chatara delivery, giving an easy catch to Hamilton Masakadza at midwicket. Raina closed out the innings with Rohit Sharma who did not score. A good bowling and fielding effort from India earlier in the day had caused real problems for Zimbabwe. The home side found itself on 64-3 in the 13th over and it took a late surge from Tatenda Taibu (45) to make a difference. Taibu and Charles Coventry (28) shared a fourth wicket partnership of 43. – APScoreboard Zimbabwe Masakadza c Sharma b Dinda 02 Taylor c Pathan b Mishra 27 Chibhabha b P.
