"I think it's the fielding that went wrong today" - Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza after loss vs India in 3rd T20I
At the post-match presentation, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza reflected on the loss, saying:
"I think it's the fielding that went wrong today. We gave away 20 extra runs in the field, that proved to be the difference. We still have problems in the top with the bat, but I have faith in the batters, I'm sure they will come good."
He continued:
"We've tried 15 different partners in the opening position in this format, there is a lot of cricket going on in the country, so, as much as we back the players, they have to back themselves. Anyway, we have to try and get the best out of out batters giving them the chances they need. Blessing Muzarabani has been highly impressive for us, for a long time. Hope he continues in this fashion!"
The two teams will square off in the fourth T20I of the series on Saturday (July 13) at the same venue.
