Zimbabwe has a number of talented players in its squad. And they are consistently performing well. I would say Zimbabwe's main weakness is in its top order. Top orders or openers are not playing well. A win against a strong team is impossible if the top-order players cannot bat responsibly.

Zimbabwe will also need to strengthen their bowling line-up. They have to select the bowlers after checking the pitch condition. I don't know if Zimbabwe's coach is experienced. But right now Zimbabwe needs an experienced coach. Only then will Zimbabwe's overall performance improve somewhat.

If they retain their players, then this issue will not be there. Imagine a playing XI with Brendan Taylor in top order, Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams and Craig Ervine in the middle order and Muzarabani and Kyle Jarvis as bowlers. But players such as Taylor and Jarvis were forced to retire due to their differences with the cricket board. I am not sure what is the issue exactly. But the board receives around $12 million every year from the ICC and giving these players decent contracts won't put that much of a burden on the funds.

Not forced but Banned for some drugs and bookie controversy in Mumbai. Brendan Taylor was excellent bat tho bt that's a full stop to his international career as he's already 35-ish.

Sikandar Raza is earning praise nowadays and rightly so, not sure if he's into franchise cricket but he should attract some new contract soon. This would help his game and Zimbabwe cricket as well.

The Zimbabwe cricket world is another one that does not care about the players in the team. This is always a problem with smaller cricket boards. Especially those boards which have greedy people in them as personnel.

In smaller countries with smaller revenue being generated and greedy people being the ones who run the board it is always proving to be a problem for the players. That is a big reason why players don’t have the same opinion as the people running the cricket boards. Players start thinking about how cricket can be better and the cricket boards are thinking about how they can generate more money. What they don’t realize is that if the team is playing well the money is going to come eventually.

Well.. it looks as if the ICC has also given up on Zimbabwe. For a short period, they actually suspended the cricket board. But then, after some time they again re-instated the membership without any changes to the working structure of the board. I am eagerly looking towards the fund allocation for the next cycle (2024-31). There is no reason why Zimbabwe should receive a higher allocation when compared to Ireland and Afghanistan. And there is no justification to Nepal receiving 2% of the funds that Zimbabwe get.

Abesh Khan's collection of 16 runs in the 48th over could have brought a different turning point.But as Evans got out on the last ball, the match was largely in India's pocket. More unfortunate Sikander Raja finally got out and India won the match completely.

All credit for Zimbabwe for such a terrific fightback, but in the end overdependence on a few players never works. Sikandar Raza have been in terrific form this year. But unfortunately for Zimbabwe, hardly anyone else have contributed. Sean Williams and Craig Ervine were unavailable for the majority of the matches. Their bowling also suffered greatly, as Blessing Muzarabani was unavailable. Sadly, I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel for them. The quality seems to be going down with every passing year.

Sikandar Raza remember this guy! After watching his incredible batting. I think he might be someone whose name might pop up inthe next IPL auction. His whole innings today might rind us of some of the great legends of cricket. He single handedly destroyed every Indian bowler. If he had someone on the other side then this match would have had a different end result.

Another outstanding performance from Sikandar Raza and he was absolutely amazing today. Day by day he is improving his performance. I thought that Zimbabwe would the match against India but they didn't able to finish at the last moment.

Big match for Zimbabwe and India. Both the team could've learnt many things from this match. Zimbabwe played really well, and better performance is a must from the opening order. Zimbabwe lost its 7^th wicket at 169 runs. From there the team developed good partnership and the 8^th wicket fell at 273 runs. Indian bowlers made good contribution, in between the pressure over the bowlers made them do mistakes and some midfields. Finally India won the series with lots of improvement on Zimbabwe.

You are right. Zimbabwe is a team that has been in the game for a long time but seems like they don't have existence. The condition of their cricket board is also not good. But it must be said that they have prepared a good team and selected some good players. This is an important role for cricket board. Today their performance was amazing. Two player in this match, Sean Williams with 45 runs he was a victim of lbw on the other Brad Evans was a victim of lbw with 28 runs. I think these players will do much better if they got better direction.

Undoubtedly we can say that Zimbabwe is a good team. But due to some mistake some time they get big punishment.But if they can improve their cricket board more, they can surely make a good position They still have a lot of good players in their team who will give a lot of good things if they learn to appreciate them a little.I request you to appreciate the Zimbabwe cricket team a little more.Because these are all good players, they would likely do better with a little help.

Zimbabwe are heavily dependent on sikandar raza and if raza fails then all Zimbabwe team collapse. Other players of team must also take there responsibility and performing. Raza scored 100 but Zimbabwe still lost the game coz no other player played his part.

Zimbabwe vs India

This is today's ODI cricket game As the match is played I think India is more likely to win because India has won the last two matches. But India is much stronger in bowling than Zimbabwe. Shubman gill The target of a century has been reached but the run rate has been high compared to which I think it will be very difficult for Zimbabwe to win this match.

A fantastic performance by Shubman Gill as he made his maiden ODI century. His strike rate was good, and he finally got there. Zimbabwean team needs 290 runs to win, but the Indian team will take the series by 3-0. India's bowling side is much stronger than Zimbabwe's, so I think Zimbabwe will have trouble chasing the target.

India played full 50 overs and India played very well today . I thought India might score 200-220 runs today. But they took 289 runs it is really amazing. Zimbabwe will never be able to get that many runs in their own verse . Today also I give 99% guarantee that India will win today match

We can't underestimate any team. With time the teams have begun to perform better. In today's match Zimbabwe have started good. In 15 overs Zimbabwe with its young team have managed to score 75-1. If they were able to maintain the runrate, this match will increase pressure on India at some point.

Everyone who underestimated Zimbabwe team could've known about their ability. The team missed the winning just by a small margin. Zimbabwe could've won the match, if they haven't lost few consecutive wickets in the middle order. It is a learning and this could've boosted them for the upcoming matches against other teams. Raza is good enough to play against every team and he's good with his natural game.

Zimbabwe had chances but they didn't have enough wicket. If they didn't lost their wicket in the beginning, they might have won the match. If they had somehow won today,that would have been a golden day in their cricket history. Such match lost by only 13 runs which cannot be taken easily by the supporters.

It was good perfromance from Zim, they must be happy with the fact they prformed just like a good ODI side. Raza was once again star as he scored 115 runs along with Sean Williams who scored 45 runs. Not many Zim batsmen contributed to score and thats the main reason why they lost the game.

It was already known this series will be one ‍sided. But through today's match, Sikandar Raja showed his strength. Along with that, some players come up in the minds of the audience. By this match i firmly say that Zimbabwe players are capable of beating any team. Above all, Zimbabwe cricket has made huge strides that have been Revealed today.

Zimbabwe fought hard to win today's match. Zimbabwe was defeated by just 13 runs. Sikandar Raja managed to collect 115 runs. If Chakabva could have played well today, maybe Zimbabwe would have won this match. But we have to admit that Zimbabwe's performance has improved a lot compared to the past. Now Zimbabwe looks capable of winning series against teams like Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

Zimbabwe battled India hard for victory in today's match.But Zimbabwe lost today's match by very few runs Here Sekander Raja collects 115 runs. And a huge run mountain for the team.If two more players like Sikandar Raja could have done a little better, today's match would have been a win for Zimbabwe.But India won by 13 runs is very lucky for India. Zimbabwe could have secured the win if they could have scored a few more runs.

I expected India to score beyond 300 runs after following Shubham Gills performance with Ishant kishan. Unfortunately, these tow incredible batters lost their wickets due to lose shots. But, if I have to blame a batter to be irritating then that would be KL Rahul, another incredible batter going the Kohli way without even creating records like him.

I still don't understand again why he opted to open the innings. He knew that Shubham Gill is in his terrific form and he should have allowed both Shikhar Dhawan and him to open. I assume he wanted to prove his selection for Asia cup but I feel this guy is not a team player but another individual who wants to only gain name and fame for personal reason.

He got selected in the team taht plays the Asia cup and with players like him and Kohli things look pretty bad for India.

Myself to had the similar thought about the score of India. Atleast 300+ runs could've been scored. Zimbabwe is into good cricketing, right now it need 95 runs from 60 balls with 3 wickets left. Sikander Raza is in good form scoring 65 runs and Evans with 4 runs in the crease. This pair is much expected to create good partnership. India's focus will be to take a wicket which will end the innings of Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe did not start well but in the middle they try to back in the game. Undoubtedly this match has been better for them than other in the series. Where if they can perform a little better then the match will come under their control otherwise they will have to come under pressure of runs. At this point they have accumulated 223 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. If Sikandar Raza can play the entire innings then their victory is confirmed. But small team cannot maintain their patience in these places.

Congratulations on Sikander Raja's century at this extreme moment, 87 balls with two sixes and eight fours to complete the 100 runs. Although at the moment 40 runs are needed from 23 balls to win.But increasingly the equation is getting tougher and if Sikandar Raja gets out then India will win the match.

Congratulations to India, they won this match very hard. Zimbabwe team would have won this match if Sikandar Raja was not out. The players of both teams played very well. I thought Zimbabwe would not score so many runs. But no they played a much better game. He could have won this match if he played a little better. Sikandar Raja of Zimbabwe played much better today. If better could have played a little more, he could have won this match. Sikandar Raja of Zimbabwe played much better today.

I always enjoy experiencing some competitive matches. A thrilling win in Harare allows India to sweep the series 3-0 after Zimbabwe almost chased the total. A big congratulations to India. It was an excellent performance by Zimbabwe. Sikandar Raja continues his impressive form from the previous series with an excellent hand. That's tough luck for Zimbabwe, so close yet so far away.

First of all congratulations to India as they have won the match today between Zimbabwe and India today. Zimbabwe suffered a lot in which some of the Zimbabwean players wasted the ball and couldn't beat India much though.Always under threat. Consistently they were more likely to win but lost by a narrow margin. If the Zimbabwean players could play the spin ball well then there is definitely a chance to win was
