  • India outclassed Zimbabwe.

    Zimbabwe made five changes for the third and final ODI, but it made no difference as they were bowled out for 123.

    India required less than 22 overs to chase a target of 124, as KL Rahul made an unbeaten 63 and Faiz Fazal marked his international debut with 55 not out.

    The two teams begin a three-match Twenty20 international series at the same venue on Saturday.

    Bumrah’s four-wicket haul saw him named man of the match for the final game of the series.

    Meanwhile, Rahul was named as the man of the series for his efforts with the bat.

    The inexperienced Indians were ruthless in victory and in securing the whitewash captain MS Dhoni moved level with Allan Border with the joint-second highest ODI wins as captain.
