Match Prediction:
Wednesday in Harare sees Zimbabwe and India go head-to-head for the third time with the five-match series equal at 1-1. On Saturday, Zimbabwe won the opening game; then, India beat them by 100 runs on Sunday’s second T20I. Keep reading as we preview this game. Starting on July 10th at 13:00 local time, the game takes place at the Harare Sports Club.
With a close victory, Zimbabwe surprised everyone starting the series, but few were surprised to see India hammered in Sunday’s second T20I. Though there have been some good individual performances, we anticipate the hosts once more displaying an offensive strategy in this match.
India returned to their best in Sunday’s game with both bat and ball following Saturday’s unsatisfactory performance. Based on their highly confident batting line-up, we expect them to be rather positive against this T20I bowling assault from Zimbabwe.
Winning Chances:
Toss Prediction:
Since the side batting first has won both games in this series, we are expecting both captains to come out to the toss hoping to bat first once more in this battle.
Weather Report:
The settings are rather similar to those of the first two games, which implies sunlight all around and mid-twenties temperature from beginning to end.
Pitch Report:
We saw India show how much of a fantastic batting surface this is at the Harare Sports Stadium in Sunday’s game, even if the bowlers were on top on Saturday and the hitters struggled. The first batsman in this T20I will be trying to score 180+%.

Arriving in Zimbabwe ahead of the third T20I, Shivam Dube, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson all joined the team straight away. Although Mukesh Kumar rested for Wednesday’s game, we expect him return with Avesh Khan probably given the chance to relax after so far impressive performance.
