Zimbabwe vs India, 3rd ODI, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

India’s dominance over the Zimbabweans extended in the second match of the series as well as the Asian giants registered their 14th successive victory over them in the 50-overs format, eventually sealing the series 2-0 with a game in hand. The Men in Blue inflicted a five-wicket win over Zimbabwe on the back of yet another solid outing from all the bowlers. The dead rubber and the final match of India’s recent away tour will take place on Monday, August 22, 2022, in Harare. Speaking in detail about the last encounter, Zimbabwe’s top-order failed miserably for the second straight match as they found themselves in big trouble at 31/4 in 12.4 overs. Veteran batter Sean Williams scored 42 off as many deliveries while Ryan Burl remained not out on 39. All the six Indian bowlers were amongst the wickets with Shardul Thakur being the pick of the lot for his spell of 3/38 in seven overs. Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill struck the 30s apiece while Deepak Hooda made 25. Sanju Samson guided the side home with his knock of 43* off 39 with three fours and four maximums. With India’s win, Hooda scripted history as he has been part of 16 consecutive victories across formats for his team since making his international debut. The visitors might give a chance to benched players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rahul Tripathi in the final game. On the other hand, the hosts would look to avoid a clean sweep and end the series on a high.
