India Cricket team will be looking to clean sweep against Zimbabwe in the third One Day International (ODI) on the tour of Zimbabwe. India dominated in the first two matches in Harare Sports Club, Harare. Key players for India's performance are Shubman Gill, Shikhar Dhawan, Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel and Muhammad Siraj.
The second ODI was a bit of a surprise for India as KL Rahul opened with Shikhar Dhawan and India lost a few wickets in quick succession, compared with the first ODI. However, Sanju Samson's 43 off 39 deliveries helped India chase down the total within 26 overs. After sealing the series, India will try their best to defeat Zimbabwe in the final ODI of the series.
India's batting line-up should remain undisturbed as Shikhar Dhawan is having a decent form, whereas captain KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan have to prove their mettle against Zimbabwe. As KL Rahul will likely be opening with Shikhar, Rahul Tripathi and Rituraj Gaikwad may stay on the bench. Though India can take chances in bowling by including Shahbaz Nadeem or Avesh Khan. Here's the predicted playing XI.
India: Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul (c), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Deepak Chahar or Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan or Mohammed Siraj.
Zimbabwe's all efforts are going in vain as they failed to prove anything against India. The idea of having Innocent Kaia and Takudzwanashe Kaitano at the top order was not the best deal for the team. However, bowling improved in the second ODI. So, Tanaka Chivanga is likely to stay on the team instead of Richard Ngarava.
Zimbabwe: Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Innocent Kaia, Wesley Madhevere, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva (c & wk), Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Tanaka Chivanga, Brad Evans, Victor Nyauchi
