Preview:
Zimbabwe will take on India in the 3rd and final ODI of the series on Monday. Zimbabwe didn’t match the standards against the second-string Indian unit and lost the 2nd ODI by 5 wickets, ending their hopes of winning the series. On the surface which is favorable for bowling, they lost the first 4 wickets for just 31 runs and couldn’t recover where they managed to score just 161 runs on the board. There were a lot of positive takeaways as they scalped 5 wickets including the prize wicket of KL Rahul for just one run. Sean Williams and Ryan Burl played some fascinating shots which need to be applauded. The series is already slipped out of their hands and they look to reduce the margin of loss.
India on the other hand utilized the conditions perfectly and went all over Zimbabwe to bowl out for the 2nd time in the series. They had to work a little extra in winning the 2nd ODI as they got their own taste of medicine from the Zimbabwe quicks initially. Sanju Samson was the standout batter who ensured the side crossed the finishing mark with his unbeaten 43* runs. With this win, they took an unassailable lead of 2-0 and aiming for a clean sweep. KL Rahul who promoted himself to open the innings in the 2nd ODI is likely to do the same in the 3rd ODI. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rahul Tripathi are in the line to make their ODI debuts.
What is the pitch report for ZIM vs IND, 3rd ODI?
There is a lot of pace on the wicket and it’s highly challenging for the batters to tackle the seamers in the initial one hour of play. Short balls have been frequently used as a wicket-taking option. Bowling first is always a good option here.
