India vs Zimbabwe Live Score, IND vs ZIM 5th T20I Match Today: Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar won the toss and opted to bowl first against Shubman Gill’s India in the fifth of five match T20I series at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Sunday
In a week of contrasting fortunes, Sikandar Raza’s men went from a stunning 1-0 lead to a stifling series defeat. Last evening, India pulled off a massive 10-wicket win to assert their dominance and banish the memories of a 13-run defeat in last week’s opening game. The batters have found form while spinners Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi have been at the top of their mark.
India have not been able to hand sufficient game time to the middle-order batters and the final T20I could call for some changes to the top-order who have dominated the last few matches. Meanwhile, the hosts will hope to salvage a win to instil faith in their progress towards the next T20 World Cup.
Teams:
India (Playing XI): Shubman Gill(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson(w), Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Kumar
Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza(c), Johnathan Campbell, Faraz Akram, Clive Madande(w), Brandon Mavuta, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani

Jaiswal justifies opening slot with a stroke-filled 93
Two Saturdays apart, the mood couldn’t have been more different in Harare. After being bowled out for 102 while chasing 116 in the first T20I, India overpowered Zimbabwe in the fourth match, winning by 10 wickets to clinch the series 3-1. Sure, it was on a fresh pitch – one where the ball came along quite nicely with the new ball especially – but it still underscored how India have managed to turn things around after that rusty start.
And leading that charge was Yashasvi Jaiswal. How do you tell an opener who just smashed a 47-ball 100 with 10 sixes that you have to bat at No 3 immediately from the next match? Suppose it becomes easier to explain when the player replacing you at the top is someone as talented as Jaiswal. READ MORE
