Deepak Chahar to Innocent Kaia, OUT! LBW! Deepak Chahar provides the breakthrough for India as he always does. He bowls a brilliant inswinging yorker, on middle, Innocent Kaia tries to dig it out but is late to put his bat down in time and gets on the pads in line with the stumps. There is a huge shout for the LBW but turned down. KL Rahul goes for the review after some discussion. The UltraEdge shows that it is pad first and Ball Tracking shows three reds. The on-field decision is changed to Out. Kaia has to go back but he is not happy as he thinks he has hit the ball. India with an early wicket here.

Regis Chakabva steps out, he does not get to the pitch of the ball and ends up pushing it back to the bowler uppishly but low. Axar gets down quickly and takes it nicely.

Kuldeep Yadav to Takudzwanashe Kaitano, OUT! STUMPED! Kaitano is well short. His return to the crease was not a long one. He wasn't picking Kuldeep from the start and it is the same here. The googly this time from Kuldeep, it is bowled outside off. Kaitano looks to put bat on ball but is beaten. Kishan is quick to take the bails off. It is referred and replays show that Kaitano is short.

Deepak Chahar to Ryan Burl, OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man! Chahar who took a pounding in his last over has broken the stand that was starting to look nice! Maybe the two wanted to target Chahar.

Avesh Khan to Brad Evans, OUT! LBW! A huge moment in the game. This is on a good length and on middle, angling in, Brad Evans moves across to work it to the le side but plays down the wrong line and gets hit on the pads. The fielders appeal for the LBW and the finger goes up. Evans takes the review straightaway. The UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows three reds and he has to go back. Finally India have broken this stand.

Shardul Thakur to Sikandar Raza, OUT! TAKEN! A spectacular catch by Shubman Gill to send Raza back to the hut. That should be the game for India! Disbeleif amongst the Zimbabwe fans as their last hope is walking back. He though has played an absolute gem of an innings. An innings not many will forget Just stunning. Single-handedly, he has got Zimbabwe so close but he needed to be there till the end to take them over the line. Great gesture from the Indians as they come up to him and congratulate him for his knock. Coming to the ball now, it is full and on middle, Raza fails to get under it completely. He does not get the elevation he wanted. It goes flat towards long on. Gill dives forward and takes it.

49.3
Avesh Khan to Victor Nyauchi, OUT! TIMBER! Avesh Khan bowls the perfect yorker to end things here. This is in the blockhole, on middle, Victor Nyauchi is very late to put his bat down to block it and the ball goes through and rattles the stumps. INDIA WIN BY 13 RUNS and wins the series 3-0.
