HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Sikandar Raza picked 3-25 as Zimbabwe beat India by 13 runs on Saturday in the opener of their five-match series.

Raza led the way for his young side that bowled and fielded with great energy to stun the newly crowned T20 World Cup champion, which fielded a second-string side.

Tendai Chatara picked 3-16, while Wellington Masakadza and Blessing Muzarabani took one each as India was bowled out for 102 runs in 19.5 overs.

This was after Zimbabwe scored 115-9 in 20 overs despite wrist spinner Ravi Bishnoi picking 4-13 in four overs.

It was the lowest T20 total defended in Harare as India's 12-match unbeaten run came to an end.
