It was a delayed celebration for the Indian side, under the leadership of Ayush Mhatre, as the catch was delayed with the third umpire checking it multiple times which saw the blue brigade waiting as a group, looking at the screen, and once the final decision was made, they lifted it joy and started their full celebration. 

Earlier in the game, at the Harare Sports Club, India posted a massive score of 411 runs in their allotted 50 overs for the lose of nine wickets as their left-handed opening batter, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, claimed a strong knock of 175 runs in just 80 balls at a strike rate of 218.75, with the help of 15 boundaries and as many sixes.
