IND vs ZIM Match Updates: India is all set to face Zimbabwe in the third and final ODI match of the series and India after taking the lead (2-0) in the series, KL Rahul and co will be looking to whitewash the series.
There are a couple of changes for the last ODI, Siraj, and Prasidh will be replaced by Deepak Chahar and Avesh Khan. After winning the toss skipper KL Rahul said “Just want to challenge ourselves. I’ve been short of playing time so I’m eager to get some runs and spend time in the middle. Siraj has been very good for the last couple of seasons, he’s done well for his franchise and he’s brought that form into the ODI game as well.
He’s very good when there’s a bit of moment on the surface.”
Zimbabwe will be looking for some consolation as they would not want to get whitewashed under the Indian side. Zimbabwe also made a couple of changes to have a solid team for the last and final ODI.
Playing XI
Zimbabwe: Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Innocent Kaia, Tony Munyonga, Regis Chakabva(w/c), Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Brad Evans, Victor Nyauchi, Richard Ngarava.

India will hope to show better performance as India has never lost a single ODI match in Zimbabwe. After losing the toss Regis Chakabva said that “With the ball, we need to try and take early wickets today, and then try to deliver with the bat. A couple of changes for us- Richard Ngarava and Tony Munyonga are in, Tanaka Chivanga and Wessly Madhevere miss out. Happy to be doing something different today (bowling first).
This series is the test for the Indian Bench and every player will be looking to create an impact as the performance might less them in getting selected for the upcoming World Cup.
