Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match:

Sikandar Raza

Zimbabwe batter Sikandar Raza was in excellent touch against Bangladesh recently, but the batter has not been able to replicate his performances against India. The right-handed batter scored 16 runs before getting out in the second encounter. Raza will want to play a big knock for his team in the final encounter.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Axar Patel

Team India spinner Axar Patel bowled decently in the second ODI fixture and he will want to continue his good performance in the final match as well. The left-arm spinner scalped one wicket and gave away just 20 runs in his seven overs in the second ODI match.
