Preview

India and Zimbabwe will face each other one last time in the three-match T20I series on Sunday, July 26. The third T20I is scheduled to be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare, which was also the venue for the first two matches.

Zimbabwe have already lost the series after suffering heavy defeats in the first two matches. India won the first T20I by seven wickets, chasing a 126-run target in just 13.2 overs. In the second T20I, India posted a mammoth 219/5 before blowing away the Chevrons for just 129 in 17.5 overs to register a comprehensive 90-run victory.

The third T20I is inconsequential as the series has already been decided. However, India would want to finish on a high and clean sweep the hosts after suffering back-to-back series T20I defeats against Ireland and England ahead of this tour. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, would want to give their fans something to cheer for.

Pitch Report

The Harare Sports Club pitch should offer a nice contest between bat and ball. Pacers are likely to get some assistance with the new ball, while batters who settle in can play their shots freely. The power play overs will be crucial for both teams

Player Picks

7.5
C

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi IND | BAT

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played a blinder of a knock in the first T20I, as he scored an 18-ball fifty. In the second T20I, he played an exhilarating cameo. The southpaw will be the batter to watch out for on Sunday.

8.5
VC

Ishan Kishan IND | WK

Ishan Kishan looked in sublime touch in the second T20I after a decent knock in the first one. He is the leading run-getter in the series.

8

Mayank Yadav IND | BOWL

Mayank Yadav has bowled brilliantly in the series and Zimbabwean batters have found his pace very difficult to handle. His spell with the new ball will be intriguing to watch.

9

Sikandar Raza ZIM | ALL

Sikandar Raza will want to play a captain's knock on Sunday. He is the most experienced batter for the Chevrons and would love to finish the series on a high.

8

Blessing Muzarabani ZIM | BOWL

Blessing Muzarabani has been the most impressive bowler for Zimbabwe in the first two games. He could hold the key for the hosts, especially with the new ball.

8

Ravi Bishnoi IND | BOWL

Ravi Bishnoi bowled brilliantly in the last game, not allowing Zimbabwean batter to free their arms. His role through the middle overs will be crucial.
