Zimbabwe: 144 (42.4 Ovs)
India have won the toss and elected to field. Mohit Sharma strikes very early and got the first wicket Sikandar Raza in the 7th over of the match for 16 runs. After getting off to a slow start, they began losing wickets at regular intervals and lost half of their side with just 47 on the board. Waller and Chigumbura showed some fight-back putting up a 80-run partnership but after Waller's wicket, the tail crumbled soon after. The Indian bowlers were brilliant with debutant Mohit Sharma picking up two important wickets. A very poor performance by Zimbabwe as they are bowled out for a mere 144.

India: 145/1 (30.5 Ovs)
Cheteshwar Pujara failed to make the most of his opportunity at the top of the order as he was bowled by Chatara for just 13. Rohit Sharma scratched around but made sure that he did not throw his wicket away. Raina, promoted to No. 3 made the most of the chance as the duo scripted an impressive partnership. Easy win in the end for the Indians. The result was never in doubt once they bowled Zimbabwe out for 144.  India now go 4-0 up and will look to complete the whitewash when the two teams meet on Saturday.

Mohit Sharma is the Man of the Match on debut

In the Presentation:

Taylor: 'It is pretty frustrating. We are not able find ways to end our losing streak. We are not converting our preparations into results. There were lots of soft dismissals and we have been capitulating every time. We can't come back from those situations. We have one more game and we have everything to play for. Hopefully, we can put some smiles on the faces of our fans in the next match.'

Kohli: 'There was a bit on that wicket, the bowlers extracted some movement from the surface and got us the early wickets. Raina and Rohit Sharma finished the chase off well. We have some good fielders and Jadeja is one of them. Very pleased for Mohit Sharma. He bowled really well and was accurate. We wanted to give the guys who did not have a decent bat a go, it was good to see Rohit and Raina do well. We want to end on a high and go home with a smile. We need to execute our skills well and the end result will come as well.'

Mohit Sharma: 'It feels good and I would like to thank the skipper for giving me the chance. I just wanted to keep things simple, I am very excited. I did not try too much and I just kept to the basics. Hopefully, I will do well in the future as well.'

3rd ODI: India vs Zimbabwe Preview and Live Score Update - 28 July 2013

With the 2-0 lead of the 5 ODI series India would take on Zimbabwe in the 3rd ODI Cricket Match Today. India vs Zimbabwe 3rd ODI played at Harare Sports Club, Harare on Sunday July 28, 2013. The match schedule to be start at 09:30 local time. Below find the Live Scorecard update for IND vs ZIM 3rd ODI match.

With India just one victory away from taking an unbeatable lead, Zimbabwe will be under pressure to keep the series alive. The Indian batting unit has looked solid and well-formed. Virat Kohli scored a ton in the 1st ODI and Shikar Dhawan hit a Ton in the 2nd ODI at Harare. Indian bowling units also pretty well with the young shoulders. They are restricted the Zimbabwe batting line up very well in the last two matches. Particularly Jaidev Unadkat who picked up 4 wickets and put pressure on the hosts. Dhinesh Karthick also in very good form. He was ably supported by Shikar Dhawan and their massive partnership helped India pile on a match-winning score of 294 after losing four wickets early on.

In all fairness, Zimbabwe have fought quite well in the first two games but have in fact been outplayed by a much better team. The openers have looked in good touch with Sikandar Raza hitting a classy 82 in the first game and Vusi Sibanda making a fine 55 in the second. They have given Zimbabwe good starts but unfortunately, the middle order has failed to capitalize on it. Prosper Utseya, one of Zimbabwe's most experienced players, struck an aggressive 52 and along with Elton Chigumbura put up a fighting stand in the last game. However, the assault came too late as by that time the Indians had already got a firm grip over the match. They need their batsmen to fire in unison instead of individual performances and if the likes of Sean Williams and Brendan Taylor come to the party, Zimbabwe will not find it difficult to build up in the middle overs.

Shikhar Dhawan Ton: India beat Zimbabwe in the 3rd ODI

India won by 58 runs against Zimbabwe in the 2nd ODI Cricket Match Played at Harare Sports Club on 26th July 2013. Shikhar Dhawan (116) and Dinesh Karthik (69) starred with the bat while Jaydev Unadkat (4/41) and Amit Mishra (2/46) did well with the ball as India defeated Zimbabwe by 58 runs to take a 2-0 lead.

Shikhar Dhawan set the tone with a fine albeit chancy century. In the reply, Zimbabwe got off to a solid start. Vusi Sibanda and Hamilton Masakadza started confidently but once these two fell the innings just fell apart. Zimbabwe were then just trying to play out the 50 overs. They managed to do that. For India, Unadkat had a very good day. He picked up 4 wickets and ran out Taylor as well.

Shikhar Dhawan is the Man of the Match for his 116.

Zimbabwe won the toss, and elected to field
India: 294/8 (50.0 Ovs)
Zimbabwe: 236/9 (50.0 Ovs)
India won by 58 runs

At the Presentation Ceremony:

Brendan Taylor told: 'We gave them too many chances and they made us pay. That partnership (between Dhawan and DK) really killed us. It was a good wicket to bat on. The top order has to take responsibility for this failure. We were really slow on the field. There were penalties in place. In hindsight, we should have just slowed the game down a bit. Our seam attack is pretty strong. We have to tighten up in the middle overs.'

Virat Kohli told: 'It was going to be a challenge for the batsmen. We lost a few early wickets, there were a few tricky calls as well. There are two sides of having luck. You could get bogged down or keep going. Dhawan kept going despite nicking a few. Dinesh as well. Pity he did not get a 100. We ended up getting 294. Those two batted beautifully. The wicket suited Unadkat. He bowls a good length and has good change of pace as well. The others supported him well. We are a new side. We are going to be put under pressure. The guys responded beautifully today.'

Dhawan told: 'It was one of my lucky days. You have some lucky days. I was playing well in the earlier matches but kept getting out. The wicket was not easy to bat on. But Dinesh and I batted well. That partnership got us through. I'm enjoying the moment. I'm in good form. We just wanted to play on the merit of the ball. We just wanted to stay. We knew we could recover later because both of us had a good range of shots.'

3rd ODI: India set 295 runs target for Zimbabwe at Harare

India tour of Zimbabwe 2013: Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to field against India in the 3rd ODI Match played at Harare Sports Club, Harare, Zimbabwe.

Shikhar Dhawan smashed a superb century while Dinesh Karthik and Vinay Kumar too chipped in vital cameos as India ended with a huge score of 294/8. Dhawan was well supported by Dinesh Karthik who helped himself to a 50. At the end, Vinay Kumar played a nice little cameo as 23 came off the final over. Zimbabwe who are considered to be one of the best fielding sides in the world had a horrible day, dropping 3 catches and even the ground-fielding wasn't up to their usually high standards. Maybe it was an off-day for them. That's the only plausible excuse one can think of. Anway Zimbabwe will need a collective effort with the bat if they are to have any hopes of chasing this down.

Zimbabwe have only themselves to blame, no-one else for their first-half showing. They had the ideal conditions to bowl in - it was swinging and seaming, they even got the early wicket of Rohit Sharma, but it all changed when Jarvis got a wicket off a no-ball. From then, things went pear-shaped as India gained momentum from that point. Still the story didn't end there. Rayudu was dropped and then Dhawan, who made the Zimbabwean bowlers pay for their poor stuff with his 3rd 100.
