IND vs ZIM 2022, 3rd ODI: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
Team India will look to complete a 3-0 whitewash of Zimbabwe when they take on the hosts in the final ODI of the three-match series in Harare on Monday (August 22). Despite arriving with a second-string side, the Men in Blue have dominated the series on rather expected lines.
In both matches, they have won the toss and bowled first. The visiting bowlers have enjoyed themselves against a weak batting unit. Deepak Chahar marked his return to international cricket with a three-wicket haul in the first game. All-rounder Shardul Thakur, replacing Chahar for the second match, also claimed three wickets. The rest of the bowlers have also provided good support.
On the batting front, openers Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill have carried on from where they left off against West Indies. Sanju Samson played an impressive knock in the last game after the visitors stumbled in a small chase. Team India will now want KL Rahul to get some runs, keeping the upcoming Asia Cup in mind.
