India will be looking to secure a whitewash when they take on Zimbabwe in the third and final T20I of the series on Sunday, July 26, a day after wrapping up the contest at the Harare Sports Club in the country’s capital city.
The Men in Blue have won their first series under new captain Shreyas Iyer. This was a welcome change for the defending T20 champions after they suffered defeats to Ireland and England without winning a single game. India won the second game of the series in commanding fashion, winning by 90 runs and thus taking the trophy home.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, suffered from a reality check after their victories over Bangladesh in the series prior. The Chevrons will be looking to end the series on a high in front of their home fans.

Harare Sports Club, Harare: Pitch Report
As seen in the second T20I, the Harare Sports Club can offer an excellent pitch to bat on in the first innings, with the slower bowlers coming into the game as the day progresses. Batting is usually easier thanks to the shorter dimensions of the ground. On a windy day in the Zimbabwean capital, the ball can travel long distances, thus helping the scoring rate.

ZIM vs IND Probable Best Performers of the Match:
Probable Best Batter: Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan is currently the series’ highest run-scorer, thanks to his 81 off 44 balls in the second T20I. The left-handed batter has hit 116 runs from the first two matches and is the only batter to have crossed the 100-run mark. Averaging a solid 58, the wicketkeeper-batter scores at a strike-rate of 170.58 all series-long.
Probable Best Bowler: Ravi Bishnoi
Ravi Bishnoi has taken only two wickets from two matches, fewer than teammates Prince Yadav and Abhishek Sharma. The spinner, however, has been extremely economical all series, conceding runs at an economy rate of just 5.50, which makes him the bowler to watch out for in the third T20I.
