IND vs ZIM 5th T20I Live Score: Hello and welcome one and all to ABP Live’s live coverage of the fifth and last India vs Zimbabwe T20I match of the ongoing five-match series. Keep following us to stay updated with the live ongoings from the match in Harare.
India have already sealed the series as they won three consecutive matches under the leadership of Shubman Gill. After facing a shock defeat in the first T20I, the young Indian team rebounded well to seal the series. India might rest a few players and try the new ones as the result of this match will not have any impact on the series result.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will look to eke out a consolation win after losing three T20is on the trot under the leadership of Sikandar Raza.
In the 4th India vs Zimbabwe T20I, India won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Indian bowlers restricted Zimbabwe to 152-7 in 20 overs. Chasing the target, the Indian opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill dominated the opposition bowlers, achieving the target in just 15.2 overs without losing a wicket, securing a 10-wicket victory. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an unbeaten 93 off 53 balls, while captain Shubman Gill remained not out on 58 off 39 balls, leading India to victory in the 152-run chase.
In the fifth T20I, fans can expect to see Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma bat higher up the order. It would be a missed opportunity if Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal open the innings again. Players like Shivam Dube, Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson, who haven’t had many chances to bat, are ideally expected to get opportunities in the final game.
