We take a look at the current form, head to head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of India: W W W W W

India has been on a roll and their bowlers are doing a fine job. In fact, India was not that clinical with the bat in the second game and the top-order batters will aim to come up with a better performance against a weak Zimbabwe team.

Zimbabwean batting has looked beleaguered as the top-order has failed to deliver the goods for the hosts. The top order will need to provide a good start as the lower middle order has done a decent job for the home team.
