Auckland, New Zealand, Mar 14(IBNS) Chasing a winning target of 288, India suffered early blows to totter at 98 losing four wickets against Zimbabwe in their last pool B match of the ICC World Cup at the Eden Park on Saturday.

After openers Rohit Sharma and Shikar Dhawan fell cheaply to Zimbabwe pacer Tinashe Panyangara, both in the seventh over scoring 21 each, Azinkya Rahane (19) and Virat Kohli (38),  who built a 50-run partnership  were out leaving the team at 98 for four wickets at the end of the 25th over.

Skipper M S Dhoni (4) and Suresh Raina (12) were at the crease with the task of putting up a fight back.

Earlier, a swashbuckling 138 by wicket keeper-batsman Brfendan Taylor put Zimbabwe in a position to throw a challenge to India, so far unbeaten in the group league.

Even though Zimbabwe lost three early wickets of  Hamilton Masakadza (2), Chamu Chibhabha (7) and Solomon Mire (33), a 109-run partnership between Sean Williams (50) and Taylor pulled the side out of crisis and built a solid foundation.

For India pace trio Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav bagged three wickets each.
