India Opt to Bat First in Decisive Third T20I Against Zimbabwe

India, led by Shubman Gill, elected to bat first in the third and final T20I against Zimbabwe in Harare. The decision came after Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza expressed his preference for bowling first, citing the pitch conditions.

India made three changes to their lineup, welcoming back Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube, who were part of India's T20 World Cup-winning squad. They replaced B Sai Sudharsan, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel. Mukesh Sharma was also brought in for Khaleel Ahmed.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, made two changes. Richard Ngarava returned to the side in place of Luke Jongwe, while Tadiwanashe Marumani replaced the injured Innocent Kaia.

The series is currently tied at 1-1, with Zimbabwe winning the first match and India dominating the second.
