Zimbabwe will lock horns against a confident Indian team at the Harare Sports Club, Harare on Monday. India has already taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the series and they will look to continue their supremacy in the final game of the series.
We take a look at the current form, head to head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.
Current form of India: W W W W W
India has been on a roll and their bowlers are doing a fine job. In fact, India was not that clinical with the bat in the second game and the top-order batters will aim to come up with a better performance against a weak Zimbabwe team.
Current form for Zimbabwe: L L L W W
Zimbabwean batting has looked beleaguered as the top-order has failed to deliver the goods for the hosts. The top order will need to provide a good start as the lower middle order has done a decent job for the home team.
