The Indian team has registered a brilliant victory in the third IND vs ZIM T20I match as they defeat Zimbabwe by 23 runs. It was once again a complete performance by the Indian team as the five match series is placed at 2-1. 

OUT! Probably the final nail in the coffin for India as Washington Sundar gets rid of Clive Madande. The Indian team will be wanting to wrap up the Zimbabwean innings as soon as possible and win the match. Clive Madande 37 (26) c Rinku Singh b Washington Sundar 

With just four overs left in the match, Zimbabwe need 71 runs to win. It will be  a very difficult task in front of the Indian bowlers. However, Dion Myers and Clive Madande look settled and they will look to chase down the target. 

India has been totally on song with the ball in the game and they kept Zimbabwe in a tight spot with their disciplined bowling scalping the wickets of half their side under fifty runs. As India look to secure a dominating victory by increasing the pressure, Dion Myers and Clive Madande look for some rebuild. 

OUT! Two in the over for Washington Sundar as Jonathan Campbell hands over an easy catch in the slips to Riyan Parag. Campbell brings in the long stride but the ball turns away from him and it is an easy catch for Parag at first slip. Jonathan Campbell 1 (2) c Riyan Parag b Washington Sundar

OUT! Another wicket for India as this time is it Zimbabwean captain Sikandar Raza who has to walk back Sikandar Raza looking to hit Washington Sundar over the leg side but at the end, only hands over an easy catch to Rinku Singh. Sikandar Raza 15 (16) c Rinku Singh b Washington Sundar 

OUT! The Indian pacers are not allowing Zimbabwe to settle down as they get rid of Brian Bennett. Ravi Bishnoi showcased some brilliant to dismiss Bennett and Avesh Khan strikes again. Brian Bennett 4(5) c Ravi Bishnoi b Avesh Khan 

OUT! Another one bites the dust for Zimbabwe as Khaleel Ahmed removes opener Tadiwanashe Marumani. The Indian team is right on top over the hosts. Murumani looked hit the ball over the bowler's head but at the end only was able to hit straight to Shivam Dube. Tadiwanashe Marumani 13 (10) c Shivam Dube b Khaleel Ahmed 

OUT! A wicket for Indian pacer Avesh Khan as Wessly Madhevere has to walk back after scoring just 1 run. The Zimbabwean opener wasn't able to counter the bounce of the ball and it was a soft dismissal. Yashasvi Jaiswal takes an easy catch. Wessly Madhevere 1 (2) c Yashasvi Jaiswal b Avesh Khan 

Despite the wicket of Ruturaj Gaikwad in the last over, India had enough gas in their tank to go over the mark of 180. Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad's partnership was the key to take them there and the others like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson played the support role to help them get there. Going to be a steep chase for Zimbabwe. 

Out! After a well made half-century Shubman Gill finally perishes trying to hit a big shot. Doesn't get the required connection and the ball scoops to Sikander Raza at the long on boundary. India still are at a decent position and will look to get a strong finish. Shubman Gill c Raza b Muzarabani 66(49)

After a period of slowing down in the middle, India has again picked up the momentum specially with more spin getting introduced. Shubman Gill took the charge and played some special shots, racing to his half-century in no time. The India captain has made it clear that he will be going big now. 

Out! Abhishek Sharma always looked like struggling to adjust to the pace of the game after he came out to bat and it reflected when he tried to muscle a Sikandar Raza delivery straight into the hands of the deep mid wicket fielder. No fireworks from Abhishek in this game. 

Out! Finally someone gives in to the pressure and it is Yashasvi Jaiswal. The last two overs has been economical for Zimbabwe and it all comes down to Jaiswal trying to take on Sikandar Raza with an innovative reverse sweep. The connection wasn't great and the ball lobed to the hands of the fielder inside the circle. Jaiswal c Brian Bennett b Raza 36(27). 

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza had to juggle with his bowlers in the powerplay as the Indian openers came out all guns blazing. They were off to 29 runs in first two overs and considering that, Blessing Muzarabani helped Zimbabwe make a small comeback. India are set for a big total and Zimbabwe will need a very good effort to turn momentum in their favour. 

The new opening combination for Team India seems to be in touch straightaway as they start the innings with some smashing strokes. Yashasvi Jaiswal attacks Brian Bennett and Shubman Gill pounces on Richard Ngarava. A good start for India and they will look to make it big.
