Background
IND vs ZIM 3rd T20I Live Score: Hello and welcome to ABP Live’s live coverage of the third T20I match between India and Zimbabwe. India, after losing the first match of the five-match T20I series, made a remarkable comeback by winning the second T20I by 100 runs and will aim to take the lead against Zimbabwe in the third T20I on Wednesday in Harare.
After a humiliating 13-run loss in the series opener, the recently crowned T20 World Cup champions bounced back with a stellar performance, thanks to star opener Abhishek Sharma’s 46-ball century. Under Shubman Gill's leadership, the team set a formidable target of 234 runs and then bowled out Zimbabwe for 134 runs, levelling the series at 1-1.
As the Men in Blue prepare for the third match, there is speculation about possible changes in the playing XI. T20 World Cup-winning players Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube have joined the squad and it remains to be seen who will be replaced, if there are indeed any replacements.
The #T20WorldCup-winning trio is in the house... 👏 👏
