Zimbabwe vs India, 3rd ODI, Harare - Full Commentary


So that's it from us then. The action now shifts to the T20Is. Looking forward to your company on Friday for the first game. Until then, take care, goodbye!
Rahane gets the trophy and his team-mates join him before they pose for the cameras.
Rahane: 'I felt Kedar (Jadhav) and Manish batted really well. It was his debut game, but Manish batted sensibly. Overall, a great team effort. Rayudu got a hundred in the first game and now Kedar has got one. I am really happy with this victory. Hopefully, he (Rayudu) will be fine soon. He is a very crucial member of the team. We will enjoy this victory and we are looking forward to the T20 series.'
Chigumbura: 'It's disappointing again, especially with the bat. We didn't manage to bat well in the whole series. Probably we were much closer in the first game. Again we let them off the hook after reducing them to 82/4. I think we need to learn quickly and find a way to win games. We just have to make sure that we play our best cricket in the T20 series. Hopefully, we will win those games.'
Ambati Rayudu is the Man of the Series
Jadhav: 'It's a great feeling. I want to thank my parents, wife and our just-born daughter. She has been very lucky for me. I should thank everyone for the support. The ball was moving around initially. Manish (Pandey) was batting well at the other end, so I took some time to settle and then played my shots.'
Kedar Jadhav is the Man of the Match for his 87-ball 105
As the series progressed, the margin of defeats widened for Zimbabwe. In all three matches, they were in a situation where they could have dictated terms, but they gave away the momentum. In the first ODI, after having India on the mat at 87/5, they let the advantage slip. Bhuvi held his nerve with the ball in the last over to take the visitors home. During the second game, the hosts pulled things back after the 112-run opening stand, but their batters failed to rise to the occasion. And today, once again they had India reeling at 82/4 before allowing the visitors to post a good total. Overall, it was always so near, yet so far for Zimbabwe.
Earlier in the day, India registered their highest score of the series. Thanks to the 144-run stand for the 5th wicket between Manish Pandey and Kedar Jadhav. They lost Rahane, Vijay and Tiwary cheaply and were struggling at 82/4 when the duo got together. The pair played sensibly and bailed India out of trouble. Pandey became the 12th Indian to score a fifty on debut and Jadhav recorded his maiden ODI ton in the last over of the innings.
Chibhabha recorded another fifty in the series. However, he was soon running out of partners and when he tried to up the ante, he perished. The hosts then went on to lose their last 7 wickets for 43 runs. The wickets were shared among the bowlers, Harbhajan was impressive as he ended with 2/35 in his 10 overs. He was well supported by the rest of them. Binny too chipped in with three wickets. Though, Bhuvi didn't pick a wicket, he set the tone at the start of the innings.
A whitewash by India, their second successive clean sweep against Zimbabwe in a bilateral series. The hosts didn't start well as Masakadza was trapped early on. Chibhabha and Chakabva steadied the innings with a 70-run stand before the latter was dismissed. Chigu became Vijay's first ODI victim and Zimbabwe were in trouble. Chibhabha kept going at one end and this time he found an able ally in Mutumbami, but the wicket-keeper fell soon after registering the 50-run partnership.
42.4A Patel to Neville Madziva, out Stumped!! that's it! India sweep the series 3-0. Zimbabwe are winless in their last 10 ODIs. Flighted delivery just outside off stump, Madziva dances down the track to go big over cover, but misses it completely as he doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, he was a long way out of his crease and Uthappa did the rest. Zimbabwe lost their last 7 wickets for just 43 runs. Neville Madziva st Uthappa b A Patel 3(9)

39.3Mohit Sharma to Donald Tiripano, FOUR, a gift from Mohit Sharma. Low full toss on the leg stump, Tiripano flicks it behind square on the on-side and it beats the man at long leg. Mohit tried the yorker on that occasion but missed it by some distance
39.2Mohit Sharma to Donald Tiripano, no run, great way to greet a new batsman. Bumper rising steeply just outside off stump, Tiripano is surprised by the bouncer, but manages to stay away from it

For some reason, the umpire checks for a front foot no-ball, but Mohit Sharma had more than half his foot behind the line.Utseya c Uthappa b Mohit Sharma 0(2)

37.4Harbhajan to S Raza, out Bowled!! Raza gifts his wicket away and Zimbabwe have lost their last 3 wickets for 22 runs.

37.3Harbhajan to S Raza, no run, Uthappa takes the bails off in a flash, but he appeals for caught behind. It was a confident shout but umpire Simon Fry shakes his head. Raza tries to guide this slider and gets beaten

36.6Binny to M Waller, no balledgeddd and taken. Poor shot from Waller, a nothing shot indeed. Binny was getting the ball to shape away for a while and it's got him a wicket now. Hang on! They are checking for the front foot no-ball! And it's a clear no-ball. Lucky escape for Waller. Binny got away with a tight call when he dismissed Mutumbami, but he had nothing behind the line this time. Waller pokes away from the body, edges it to the keeper and gets away with it
36.5Binny to S Raza, 1 run, short of length delivery on the off stump, Raza hops and tucks it uppishly through square leg
36.4Binny to S Raza, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Raza. Full and just a hint of outswing, Raza leans forward and drives it along the ground through cover

Malcolm Waller, right handed bat, comes to the crease
36.2Binny to Chibhabha, out Caught by K Jadhav!! In the airrrr and that's well caught by the centurion. Slower delivery on the stumps, Chibhabha flicks, doesn't control it, hits it uppishly, deep mid-wicket runs forward and takes a good catch before tumbling onto the ground. This is a big wicket for India as Chibhabha was well set. Zimbabwe are under serious pressure now at 160/5. Chibhabha c K Jadhav b Binny 82(109) [4s-7]
36.2Binny to Chibhabha, wide, once again Binny gets late outswing, but it was too wide reckons the umpire

34.6Binny to Mutumbami, out Lbw!! That's plumb in front. The umpire took a while to give that though! They are checking for the front foot no ball. Oh that's very tight and probably Binny had just enough behind the line. Too close for comfort! Fullish and on the stumps, Mutumbami moves across the stumps and misses the flick, the ball strikes him right in line with middle and off. End of a gritty 53-run stand. There were two sounds, probably the umpire was thinking if there was any inside edge, but it was the ball hitting the front pad before thudding into the back pad. Mutumbami lbw b Binny 22(24) [4s-3]
34.5Binny to Chibhabha, 1 run, Chibhabha moves across the stumps and flicks this full ball over mid-wicket, the fielder in the deep runs forward and to his left but it doesn't carry

34.1Binny to Chibhabha, 2 runs, in the airrrr and put down. Too casual from Vijay and he spills an easy catch. Full ball from Binny, Chibhabha goes for the loft, hits it towards long-on, who takes a step forward, it came at a catchable height as well, but it pops out of Vijay's hands, he tries to grab the rebound but doesn't succeed again. Fifty partnership comes up

It's the captain, Chigumbura, who has to go. This off-break turns in on off and middle, Chigumbura was looking to work it into the leg-side, he misses and wears it on the pad. There was a loud appeal and the umpire raised his finger in a flash. That would have gone on to hit leg stump and it's a good decision from the umpire. Chigumbura lbw b Vijay 10(14) [4s-2]
