To make matters worse for the hosts, Raza has overstepped here. It is a No Ball and a Free Hit is up next.

In all readiness for the final game of this series to begin! Both the umpires make their way out to the middle and the Zimbabwe team is seen in a huddle before spreading out to take the field. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are the openers for India and they stride out to take guard. Sikandar Raza, the skipper of Zimbabwe has the new ball and will start the proceedings. Right then, here we go!

PITCH REPORT – Tino Mawoyo and Abhinav Mukund are at the centre. Tino says this is the same deck and pitch number 2 on which 300 was scored in the last game. Further adds that on the west the boundaries are short and are big to the east and are the same as the last game. Abhinav joins and says that there was pace and bounce on this deck in the previous game and it still looks like a belter of a pitch. Further adds that there are no footmarks and 180 would make it a great game for cricket.

Richard Ngarava is also down for a chat. He says that he is feeling well and he put in hard yards to get back from the knee injury. Adds that playing for a couple of different franchise leagues has helped him to adapt to various conditions better but it is all about doing the simple things right. Mentions that he and Blessing have worked together for all long time and enjoys playing with him. Says they both encourage each other and hopes to pick up five-for in the same.

Sanju Samson is down for a quick chat. He says the emotions of winning the World Cup are still circulating around and he couldn’t stop smiling for a few hours after the game and is incredibly lucky to be a part of the team. Adds that it was an incredible team effort and the management did really well. Talks about this game and suggests that there could be a few changes in the order with players getting more game time. Further talks about leading the Rajasthan franchise and says he understands the different perspectives of approaching games with him being around a mix of youngsters and experienced players in that side.

India (Playing XI) – Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill (C), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Riyan Parag (In place of Ruturaj Gaikwad), Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Kumar (In place of Khaleel Ahmed).

Zimbabwe (Playing XI) – Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Brian Bennett, Sikandar Raza (C), Johnathan Campbell, Dion Myers, Clive Madande (WK), Brandon Mavuta (In place of Tendai Chatara), Faraz Akram, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava.

Shubman Gill, the captain of India says that they would have batted first anyways. Adds that spinners have bowled well in this series while the pacers have contributed equally as well. Mentions that he is happy with how evey player showed the hunger as it is not easy to play back-to-back matches in this format. Informs they have made a couple of changes as Mukesh Kumar and Riyan Parag comes into the side.

Sikandar Raza, the skipper of Zimbabwe says that they will bowl first. Adds that the wickets tend to get better later on and they will look to make use of it. Mentions that they want to play well and they have the motivation and the skill set to finish the series on a high. States that Tendai Chatara sits out after 4 consecutive games and Brandon Mavuta comes into the side.

TOSS – Sikandar Raza finally calls it right in this series. Zimbabwe ​​​​​​ have elected to BOWL first.

India, after a shaky start, have been outstanding, winning three consecutive games to clinch the series. The last match was a masterclass, with Jaiswal and Gill leading India to a 10-wicket victory. The skipper has notched up a couple of fifties, while Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh have delivered fantastic knocks, with Abhishek even scoring a century. Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi have been impressive with their spin, consistently baffling the hosts. Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan have spearheaded the pace attack effectively, and Tushar Deshpande made a notable debut in the previous game. With the series already in the bag, India might rotate their squad to test their bench strength. Can they secure a fourth consecutive win, or will Zimbabwe end on a high note? Stay tuned for the Toss and team news!

Zimbabwe have shown flashes of brilliance in this series but have struggled to maintain momentum when it mattered most. Their standout moment was a fantastic performance in the first match, where they defended a low total against a strong Indian batting lineup. Sikandar Raza has been exceptional, contributing significantly with both bat and ball, though he hasn’t received much support. The top order remains a concern, but Clive Madande and Milton Shumba have stepped up as reliable middle-order batters and will be eager to continue their form. Blessing Muzarabani has been their standout bowler, consistently troubling the batters with his pace and bounce. Zimbabwe’s squad brims with potential, and it’s just a matter of capitalizing on the crucial moments in the game.

Hello and a warm welcome, folks! After four thrilling matches, we’re all set for the fifth and final T20I. India have already clinched the series with a commanding performance in the last game and will be aiming to wrap it up with a 4-1 scoreline. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be playing for pride and looking to finish on a high note by securing a consolation victory.
