Riyan Parag was batting on 7 when he was facing Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza. The youngster got a short ball and he went onto the backfoot and pulled it for a huge six. The ball hit the top of the Harare Sports Club stands and came back to the ground. It was a huge hit as it was measured at 107 meters. 

Earlier in the day Zimbabwe won the toss and Sikandar Raza had no hesitation in batting first. India had already won the series thanks to their ten-wicket win on Saturday. The home team made one change to their team as spinner Brandon Mavuta came in for pacer Tendai Chatara. 

Sanju Samson powers India to 167 

Yashasvi Jaiswal fresh off his 93-run knock came out all guns blazing as he hit Sikandar Raza for two huge sixes in the first over. The Zimbabwe skipper had the last laugh as he got the wicket of Jaiswal bowled with the leg-stump uprooted. 

Abhishek Sharma was out for 14 when he fell to Muzabrabani, while Shubman Gill was out for 13 when he was dismissed by Richard Ngarava. Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag then added 65 runs for the 4th wicket before Parag was out for 22. 

Sanju Samson batted well to compile yet another T20I fifty before falling for 58. The knock came off 45 with one four and four huge sixes which included a 110-meter six. Shivam Dube was run out for 26 off 12 balls with 2 fours and 2 sixes. India ended with 167 on the board as Blessing Muzarabani picked 2 wickets for 19 runs from his 4 overs. 

Zimbabwe chasing 168 to win, the home team lost Wesley Madhevere for a duck bowled by Mukesh Kumar. The Indian pacer then got the wicket of Brian Bennett caught by Shivam Dube for 10.
