Zimbabwe vs India, 3rd ODI – Dafanews Match Preview

Zimbabwe will lock horns against a confident Indian team at the Harare Sports Club, Harare on Monday. India has already taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the series and they will look to continue their supremacy in the final game of the series.

We take a look at the current form, head to head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of India: W W W W W

India has been on a roll and their bowlers are doing a fine job. In fact, India was not that clinical with the bat in the second game and the top-order batters will aim to come up with a better performance against a weak Zimbabwe team.

Current form for Zimbabwe: L L L W W

Zimbabwean batting has looked beleaguered as the top-order has failed to deliver the goods for the hosts. The top order will need to provide a good start as the lower middle order has done a decent job for the home team.

Head to Head: Matches: 65, Won by India: 53, Won by Zimbabwe: 10, Tied: 2.

India clearly holds a big edge over Zimbabwe in the head-to-head battle.

Players to look out for: Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson, Deepak Chahar, and Prasidh Krishna will be the key players for India.

Sikander Raza, Regis Chakabva, Ryan Burl, Clive Madande, and Luke Jongwe will hold the key for Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe squad: Ryan Burl, Regis Chakabva (captain), Tanaka Chivanga, Bradley Evans, Luke Jongwe, Innocent Kaia, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Clive Madande, Wessely Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, John Masara, Tony Munyonga, Richard Ngarava, Victor Nyauchi, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Donald Tiripano.

India ODI squad: KL Rahul (c), Shikhar Dhawan (vc), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohd Siraj, Deepak Chahar.
