IND Vs ZIM Live Score, 3rd T20I: Wessly Madhevere Ends Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's 81-Run Blitz

India finish on 192/5, falling just eight runs short of the 200-run mark, but it is a competitive total on a surface that has offered assistance to the bowlers.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi anchored the innings with a mature 81 off 49 balls, combining calculated aggression with smart shot selection rather than his usual all-out attacking approach. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer chipped in with useful contributions, while Rinku Singh's late cameo ensured India finished with a challenging total for Zimbabwe to chase.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's superb innings comes to an end on 81 off 49 balls. Looking to keep the momentum going, the youngster holes out to Brad Evans off Wessly Madhevere, ending a knock studded with eight fours and four sixes. India lose a well-set batter after another impressive display from the left-hander.

IND 145/3 (15)

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi brings up his second T20I half-century with a single to deep point. The youngster cuts a short, wide delivery from Wessly Madhevere for one run, reaching the milestone with another composed and fluent knock.

Ishan Kishan hammers Brad Evans straight down the ground. Evans misses his yorker and serves up a full delivery, allowing Kishan to get underneath it and muscle the drive over the bowler's head for a commanding boundary.

Abhishek Sharma departs early as Blessing Muzarabani strikes again. The Zimbabwe pacer dismisses the left-hander for the third time in the series, with Abhishek managing just 2 off 4 balls.

Looking to free his arms with an aggressive shot over cover, he only manages a thick edge, and wicketkeeper Tadiwanashe Marumani completes a comfortable catch. India lose their first wicket at the start of the innings.
