Match Preview

India have won the first two games of the 3-match ODI series against Zimbabwe. Both of them were convincing victories and now the men in blue will be eyeing a 3-0 clean sweep of the hosts when they take them on at the Harare Sports Club on the 15th of June. If the visitors win this match, it will be their third straight whitewash over Zimbabwe in an ODI series in Zimbabwe. The match is scheduled to begin at 9 AM local time.

Read on for our betting tips and match prediction on Zimbabwe vs India 2016 3rd ODI....

Venue and Toss

The nature of the pitch shouldn't be judged on the basis of the hosts' low totals of 168 and 126. India have simply been superb with their bowling. If they would have batted first, the total would have gone much higher. So this still is going to be a 270-something wicket.

The last six ODIs at this ground have been won by the side batting second. Also, India have won their last two games against Zimbabwe in this series batting second. Since the wicket will be easier for batting in the afternoon, the team that wins the toss will want to chase here.

If Zimbabwe win the toss and restrict India below 220, they will have a good chance of winning. Otherwise, with the kind of form the Indian bowlers have shown, a 3-0 whitewash is inevitable.

If ZIM Bat First

Predicted score: Around 200

Masakadza could open the Zimbabwean innings either with Chibhabha or Moor. Masakadza is the one the hosts will have their hopes pinned on and will back him to take them off to a good start. Vusi Sibanda made a fifty in the last match and he along with Raza will look to keep the scoreboard ticking. If these three have a good knock on Wednesday, Zimbabwe should make it past 200 with Chigumbura as the finisher.

India could once again open the bowling with Kulkarni and Sran who picked up two wickets apiece in each of the two games. Bumrah has been the pick of the bowlers with five wickets in the series while Chahal notched up three scalps in the second match. If Masakadza, Sibanda and Raza are dismissed cheaply, it could dash Zimbabwe's hopes of going past 200.

If IND Bat First

Predicted score: 250+

In the first two ODIs, India's top three batsmen have been enough to chase down the targets set by Zimbabwe. KL Rahul hit a hundred on his debut and Rayudu also made a fifty in the same match. If these two score big along with a decent contribution from Nair, then with Pandey and Dhoni to follow, India should be on track for 250 and even more.

Zimbabwe will probably give the new ball to Chatara and Muzarabani who have been economical so far. The two fast bowlers will look to cramp the batsmen for room and force them to play erroneous shots. Chibhabha has also bowled tight spells with an impressive economy rate of 2.64. Skipper and leggie Graeme Cremer will be expected to pick up a few wickets in the middle overs and built some pressure on the Indian batsmen. If India's top three are removed within the first fifteen overs, Zimbabwe will give themselves an opportunity of chasing a target below 250.

Our Prediction

India have outplayed Zimbabwe in the first two games and have been superior of the two sides in all the three departments - batting, bowling and fielding. The hosts will have to lift themselves up and play above their potential if they are to challenge the visitors. Zimbabwe have beaten India in the past, and they could do it again on Wednesday if they perform collectively as a unit.

Zimbabwe will always be in with a chance if India get complacent or have a bad day on the field. But after their performance in the last two games, we predict India to win this third and the final match of the series.
