Shardul Thakur to Sikandar Raza
Sikandar Raza gets his HUNDRED! This has been an incredible year for him, this is his third century in the last 6 ODIs. This is full and on off, Sikandar Raza drills it towards sweeper cover for one. He celebrates it by punching the air and taking off the helmet. Can he get his side over the line now?

Shardul Thakur to Brad Evans
A full toss, on middle, dipping in, Brad Evans misses his flick and gets hit on the pads. There is a shout for LBW but turned down. India do not have a review. The ball deflects towards point. A leg bye taken.

FOUR! A lucky boundary but Zimbabwe won't mind! This is overpitched and on off, Brad Evans slashes at it but gets an inside edge past the stumps and to the left of the keeper where Ishan Kishan also cannot stop it as it races away to the fine leg fence.

Avesh Khan to Brad Evans
OUT! LBW! A huge moment in the game. This is on a good length and on middle, angling in, Brad Evans moves across to work it to the le side but plays down the wrong line and gets hit on the pads. The fielders appeal for the LBW and the finger goes up. Evans takes the review straightaway. The UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows three reds and he has to go back. Finally India have broken this stand.

Shardul Thakur to Sikandar Raza
OUT! TAKEN! A spectacular catch by Shubman Gill to send Raza back to the hut. That should be the game for India! Disbeleif amongst the Zimbabwe fans as their last hope is walking back. He though has played an absolute gem of an innings. An innings not many will forget Just stunning. Single-handedly, he has got Zimbabwe so close but he needed to be there till the end to take them over the line. Great gesture from the Indians as they come up to him and congratulate him for his knock. Coming to the ball now, it is full and on middle, Raza fails to get under it completely. He does not get the elevation he wanted. It goes flat towards long on. Gill dives forward and takes it.

Avesh Khan to Victor Nyauchi
OUT! TIMBER! Avesh Khan bowls the perfect yorker to end things here. This is in the blockhole, on middle, Victor Nyauchi is very late to put his bat down to block it and the ball goes through and rattles the stumps. INDIA WIN BY 13 RUNS and wins the series 3-0.
