A six on the free-hit. Wow, a 15-run over to begin the innings.

IND Vs ZIM Live Score: Players Are Out!

Surprise, surprise! Shubman Gill has walked into the middle to open alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. Abhishek Sharma, who smashed a century as an opener in their previous time, will possibly come at No. 3, followed by Ruturaj Gaikwad.

IND Vs ZIM Live Score: Harare Pitch Report

"Pitch number 5 is being used for this game. It is very dry. There is grass but it is well rolled in. Not too much moisture has gone in, it looks like a good batting surface. As the game goes on, it slows down and batting becomes a little tough. Get to 160-170 and put pressure on the chasing side."

If you are looking for fantasy tips, here's our predictions, analysed by one of our own, Debashis Sarangi.

IND vs ZIM Fantasy Cricket Tips

Abhishek Sharma is in scintillating form, having smashed a blistering hundred in the second match. Considering it's a spin-friendly pitch and India will likely play an extra batter, Sharma is a must-pick as he will also roll his arms for a few overs. 

Wessly Madhevere and Sikandar Raza should be the two must-picks from Zimbabwe. While Madhevere has been the most successful Zimbabwe batter, Raza's all-round attributes makes him an automatic choice. 

Regarding the bowlers, Ravi Bishnoi will be a hot pick for this match. Mukesh Kumar could be a valuable choice from the bowlers' category alongside Avesh Khan, who was effective with his hard-length bowling in the second match. 

IND Vs ZIM Live Score: Captain Gill, All Set!

IND Vs ZIM Live Score: Match Preview

India

India are high on confidence, with Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, and Rinku Singh pulling off a spectacular show in Harare while putting on 234/2 on the board on Sunday. However, it will be interesting to see how they form the playing XI, as they have a good headache before the third T20I against Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe

On the other hand, Zimbabwe would hope to produce a similar performance in Harare like they did on Saturday. Their bowlers, who had a decent start in the second T20I, could not carry the momentum later on. If they do, don't be surprised if they stun the Men in Blue again.

Good Afternoon, Cricket Geeks!

Hello and welcome to OneCricket's Live Blog for a contest which is thought to be an interesting one between India and Zimbabwe. Perfectly poised 1-1, the Shubman Gill-led side will try to go one up over Sikandar Raza and his boys, who stunned the world by winning the series opener.

However, the Men in Blue came back strongly, winning by 100 runs in the second T20I, and now, the returns of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube have made the bunch even more stronger.
