India have taken an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe and would be looking to notch up another win to reaffirm their dominance. The hosts Zimbabwe, started the series with a win but have not been able to match the class of young Indian team since then, and it would be interesting to see how things pan out in the final game.

As far as Indian team's combination for the game is concerned, there could be some changes with series already in the bag. India did not lost a single wicket in the 4th T20I, and one cannot expect a change in the opening pair with Gill being the captain and Yashasvi Jaiswal in great touch in just the two games he has played. 


Riyan Parag To Get Another Chance?

The only change in the batting order could be the inclusion of Riyan Parag in the place of Ruturaj Gaikwad. The Maharashtra batter has played couple of handy knocks, and there is possibility that team management might try out Parag who could not score much in his debut game.

On the bowling front, Mukesh Kumar might get back into the XI after missing last two games with Khaleel Ahmed likely to be rested. So, two changes are expected in the Indian team but expect them to deliver another strong performance.
