ICC World 20-20, ENG vs ZIM, Group B: Pietersen sets up England win at World Twenty20

Kevin Pietersen lashed 79 off 37 balls as England beat giant-killers Zimbabwe in a World Twenty20 match at Newlands on Thursday.
England won by 50 runs as they sent Zimbabwe crashing back to earth after their shock five-wicket win over tournament favourites Australia at the same ground Wednesday. Pietersen and captain Paul Collingwood were mainly responsible for England's total of 188 for nine after Collingwood decided to bat after winning the toss. Pietersen and Collingwood (37) put on 100 for the fourth wicket off 54 balls. Zimbabwe briefly threatened to repeat Wednesday's upset when Vusi Sibanda and Brendan Taylor put on 74 for the first wicket in 8.4 overs.
But Zimbabwe's innings lost momentum against the medium pace of Dimitri Mascarenhas and the leg spin of Chris Schofield. Bowling in tandem, Mascarenhas and Schofield were responsible for five wickets while conceding only 33 runs between them in eight overs. Mascarenhas took three for 18 and Schofield two for 15.
Sibanda and Taylor hammered 32 off the first three overs of Zimbabwe's innings. Taylor, man of the match after making 60 not out against Australia, scored 47 off 39 balls before he was bowled by Mascarenhas.

ICC World Twenty20, ENG vs ZIM, Group B: England 188-9 (20.0 overs) beat Zimbabwe 138-7 (20.0 overs) by 50 runs
