The third T20I between Zimbabwe and India will be played on Wednesday (July 10) at the Harare Sports Club, with the series leveled at 1-1. Zimbabwe won the series opener on Saturday following which the Indian side bounced back brilliantly in the second T20I on Sunday.

After electing to bat first, India posted a mammoth 234 on the board, thanks to a sensational hundred for Abhishek Sharma (100 off 47 balls). He was supported nicely by Ruturaj Gaikwad (77* off 47 balls) and Rinku Singh (48* off 22 balls), who played a fantastic cameo to power the Indian side to their highest total against Zimbabwe.

In reply, the Zimbabwean batters faltered and succumbed to the scoreboard pressure. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and eventually got bundled out on 134 to lose the game by 100 runs. Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan grabbed two scalps each for the visitors.
