India won the third T20I match against Zimbabwe by 23 runs. After opting to bat first, India set a target of 182/4 in their innings. Zimbabwe’s fielding was sloppy, with dropped catches and misfields allowing India to score freely.
Zimbabwe’s batting struggled in response, losing four wickets in the powerplay. Captain Raza tried to steady the ship, but he too perished early. Dion Myers and Clive Madande put up a partnership of 77 runs to take Zimbabwe beyond 100, but it wasn’t enough to win. Masakadza and Myers couldn’t keep up with the required run rate in the end.
Despite the loss, Myers scored his first T20I half-century. Muzarabani was impressive with the ball for Zimbabwe. The match saw new players join the Indian team, including Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube, who came from the World Cup. Bishnoi took a brilliant catch to dismiss Bennet, showcasing his fielding skills.
