Sikandar Raza hit a superb century but fell just short of the finish line as India held their nerves to defeat Zimbabwe by 13 runs in the third ODI in Harare on Monday to complete a 3-0 sweep.
The final game of the series too was heading India's way until Raza (115 off 95 balls) brought Zimbabwe back into the contest with the support of Brad Evans (28 off 36). As it happened: India vs Zimbabwe, 3rd ODIThe duo shared a 104-run stand off 77 balls for the eighth wicket to raise hopes of a memorable result against their mighty opponents. However, Raza fell to a brilliant catch by Shubman Gill in the penultimate over, as India scraped through. It was Gill who had set up the game for India as he smashed his maiden international hundred to take the visitors to 289 for eight. Zimbabwe's innings ended at 276 in 49.3 overs. Gill (130 off 97 balls), who reached a major career milestone more than three years after making his India debut, shared a 140-run stand with Ishan Kishan (50 off 61) after the visitors decided to bat for the first time in the series.
Shubman Gill made his first international hundred as India beat Zimbabwe by 13 runs after a tense finish in Harare on Monday to complete a 3-0 ODI whitewash.
Sanju Samson says it has been "tough" for him to remain on the sidelines throughout his international career but he prefers to stay positive. Having shot to prominence as a teenager and then making International debut in a T20I against Zimbabwe here in 2015, the Kerala cricketer has featured only in seven ODIs and 16 T20Is till date. Samson finally got chances in the second string side in the team's recent tour of Ireland, West Indies and Zimbabwe.
Indian medium pacer Deepak Chahar took a leaf out of Ravichandran Ashwin's book on Monday as he 'Mankaded' Zimbabwe opening batter Innocent Kaia at the non-striker's end on the very first delivery of the home side's chase in the 3rd ODI at Harare. Chahar ran in and before delivering the ball he removed the bails with Kaia way out of his crease.
Bangladesh stripped head coach Russell Domingo of his role overseeing the Twenty20 side and told him to focus on Test and one-day international cricket, just days before the Asia Cup. Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan said that former Indian cricketer Sridharan Sriram, named last week as the technical consultant, will look after the T20 side. "Russell Domingo won't be part of the T20 set-up. He will be with ODIs and Tests," Nazmul told a press briefing in Dhaka. "There's no 'head coach' for the T20 side," he added.

Shubman Gill, since the time he made his senior international debut in January, 2019, has been touted as a special talent. Right from his U-19 days, Gill's shot-making and calm approach made him stand out on the field. However, after 11 Tests and eight ODIs, the one thing that was missing from Gill's repertoire was an international ton. Before coming into the third ODI against Zimbabwe on Monday, Gill had scored four half-centuries in Tests and three in ODIs. On Monday, he got to his first international ton off just 82 balls. He ultimately finished on 130 off 97 balls.
