HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) Barinder Sran and Jasprit Bumrah shared seven wickets to set up India's thumping 10-wicket win over Zimbabwe on Monday to level the Twenty20 series at 1-1.

Sran had 4-10 and Bumrah 3-11 as India restricted Zimbabwe to 99-9 in its 20 overs at Harare Sports Club.

India reached the victory target with nearly seven overs to spare and without losing a wicket. Mandeep Singh was 52 not out and fellow opener Lokesh Rahul 47 not out.

India's heavy win went some way to regaining some lost pride after the tourists fell to a surprise loss to Zimbabwe in the first T20 over the weekend.
