ZIM Vs IND, 3rd ODI: Dominant India Eye 3-0 Series Sweep Against Zimbabwe

India haven't lost an ODI in Zimbabwe in nine years and they are looking for a 15th win on the trot against the African side.

A fancied Indian team is a shoo-in to complete a 3-0 ODI series sweep against a Zimbabwe side that has been struggling to put up even a semblance of a fight.

Having done exceedingly well to not just turn up but바카라 웹사이트trump their hapless opponents on all fronts in the바카라 웹사이트preceding two matches, India will enter the third and바카라 웹사이트final ODI knowing well that the script is unlikely to바카라 웹사이트change at the Harare Sports Complex on Monday.

This will translate to the visiting team getting yet바카라 웹사이트another opportunity to carry out experimentation바카라 웹사이트keeping the bigger picture in mind, i.e, next year's ICC바카라 웹사이트World Cup.

Stand-in skipper KL Rahul has done quite well to keep the players motivated enough to go out in the middle, grab the chances with both hands, and cement their places in the side that is gearing up for big battles in the coming times.

There is no doubt that they have not faced the kind of examination that would have helped them develop further as cricketers, but those who are looking to get바카라 웹사이트a longer run at the top level would certainly not mind바카라 웹사이트the experience.

If the 161 all out in the second game is any evidence, the home team continues to look for a quick fix to its바카라 웹사이트batting woes, while the bowlers are also not able to trouble the Indian batting line-up that has some of the바카라 웹사이트top ODI players in its ranks. For proof, one can take a바카라 웹사이트look at Shikhar Dhawan's statistics in the 50-over format.

The extremely talented Shubhman Gill should not be be content with whatever he has achieved so far on the tour, and will certainly look to have another go at
the Zimbabwe bowlers.

The move to promote himself up the order did not바카라 웹사이트work in the second match but that will not deter Rahul바카라 웹사이트from trying it out one more time.

His stay at the crease in the second ODI lasted just바카라 웹사이트nine balls as he could score just one run off five balls.

In the absence of the front-line bowlers, this attack바카라 웹사이트has performed extremely well and showed what it is바카라 웹사이트capable of, and the quality of opposition is no reason to undermine the efforts of committed people like바카라 웹사이트Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur,바카라 웹사이트Prasidh Krishna and Axar Patel.

Among the batters, Ishan Kishan, if he gets another바카라 웹사이트chance to bat, will look to overcome the failure of the바카라 웹사이트second game with a good knock.

After the 10-wicket drubbing in the series opener,바카라 웹사이트Zimbabwe could reduce the margin of defeat in the바카라 웹사이트second ODI, but to ensure a better result they would
need to play out of their skins.

Even that may not be enough for the beleaguered hosts, but they would do well to promote Sikandar바카라 웹사이트Raza and Sean Williams, Zimbabwe's best batters for some time now, in the line-up.

Teams (from):

India: KL Rahul (C), Shikhar Dhawan (VC), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh바카라 웹사이트Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohd Siraj, Deepak Chahar,바카라 웹사이트Shahbaz Ahmed.
