Preview
Home team Zimbabwe will look to bounce back when they take on India in the third T20I match of the five-match series. The scoreline for the series stands at 1-1 with Zimbabwe having won the first match before India hammered the hosts by 100 runs in the second match.
Zimbabwe (ZIM) will be smarting after their huge loss to India in the 2nd game by a massive margin of 100 runs. It was a ruthless performance by the Indian youngsters who had been hurting after the upset in the first game. Abhishek Sharma seized the initiative and scored his maiden international century for India as the bowlers did the rest of the job.
India (IND) is high on confidence having shrugged off the loss in the last match to make a stunning return. The form of their top-order batting especially, Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad will fill Shubman Gill with hope. Ravi Bishnoi has been the best bowler for India as the Zimbabwean batters have failed to tackle the young spinner.
Pitch Report
It has been a bat first wicket and the team winning the toss will do the same. The first few overs is difficult for the batters as the new ball starts to move around. Once the ball gets old the strokeplayers will have a much better time and score lots of runs. Batting second will be tough as the pacers can do the damage with the new ball while the spinners come into play in the latter half of the game.
