That's all from Harare - And that is a wrap on this game and the series, with India completing a comprehensive clean sweep over Zimbabwe. The celebrations are in full swing now, as the Indian skipper, Shreyas Iyer is handed the trophy before joining his teammates to lift it together and pose for photographs behind the Winners banner. The hosts now have a brief break before returning to Harare to take on Australia in a three-match ODI series, with the opening game coming up on 15th September. India, meanwhile, turn their attention to the longest format as they travel to Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series, with the first Test set to get underway in Galle on 15th August. There is, of course, plenty more cricket to keep you company, with the first Test between West Indies and Pakistan currently underway. You can simply switch tabs and join us for our coverage of that contest as well. For now, that's all from us. Until next time, cheers and goodbye!
Keep raising the standards - The victorious skipper of India, Shreyas Iyer, says the biggest takeaway from the series is the fearless approach shown by the young players, highlighting the tremendous energy and intent they have brought to the field. He describes the clinical 3-0 win as a special feeling and points out that, despite his experience, many of these youngsters have already played around 55-60 games and gained valuable exposure through the IPL. Iyer adds that his focus as captain is to keep the players comfortable and get the best out of them, while also enjoying seeing individuals step up, take responsibility and win games for the team. Iyer feels they have created good momentum, although he knows the road ahead will be challenging. He says the key message to the players is to keep raising the standards with every game rather than focusing solely on results. He wants the team to give its best regardless of the situation and ensure they continue to see the team through.
Emergence of young players - Before his interview, the captain of Zimbabwe, Sikandar Raza, is being honoured for becoming Zimbabwe's most-capped player across all formats. He credits Zimbabwe Cricket for hosting the series and says the team needs to play more matches against top sides. Raza highlights the positives from the series, particularly the emergence of young players such as Newman Nyamhuri, and says the team hopes to use this cycle to continue improving. Raza also admits he needs to contribute more with the bat and jokes that he needs to score some runs and 'buy his team some runs'. However, he is pleased that they have continued to perform well despite his lack of contributions and hopes his runs can make the team's performances even better.
Ryan Burl and Brian Bennett are being presented with commemorative mementos for reaching the milestone of 2000 T20I runs for Zimbabwe.
PLAYER OF THE SERIES - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi wins the award for scoring 151 runs in 3 games with a strike rate of 196.10. He is also the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his outstanding knock of 81 off 49. Vaibhav says the preparation in Zimbabwe has been really good and that he feels comfortable playing there, having also featured in the U19 World Cup in the country. He credits the support from the coach and captain and adds that he tried to play his usual T20 game, aiming to give the team a strong start before building a long innings if he got set. On his best attributes, he says he tries to replicate in matches what he does during practice. He describes the experience as a dream come true, especially after picking up his first Player of the Match and Player of the Series awards for his country.
Presentation Time...
Men in Blue cruise to victory - India will be pretty happy with their bowling effort, though their fielding left plenty to be desired after they put down a few chances. It did not cost them this time, but it is an area that needs improvement going forward. Mayank Yadav set the tone with a first-ball wicket and returned to wrap things up with a three-wicket haul, while Yash Thakur pushed Zimbabwe further onto the back foot with a two-wicket over. Ravi Bishnoi was at his miserly best with 1/24, while Ashok Sharma finally got his moment by claiming his maiden T20I wicket, as the Men in Blue wrapped up the job with ease.
Ravi Bishnoi reflects on his series - Bishnoi says he worked hard on his bowling, and the efforts paid off during this series. He credits the coaches for helping him improve in specific areas, which worked in his favour. He adds that the ball tends to skid and stay a bit low in Zimbabwe, conditions that suited his bowling. He concludes by saying that the big grounds in Zimbabwe also played a role in helping the bowlers perform well.
Young Sooryavanshi leads the charge - Earlier in the game, India posted a commanding total, powered by a brilliant 81 off 49 from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer chipped in with valuable knocks, before Rinku Singh provided the late fireworks with a quickfire 25 off just 14 balls. It was another challenging outing for the Zimbabwe bowlers, with Blessing Muzarabani once again standing out with 1/33. Brad Evans picked up a couple, while Sikandar Raza and Wessly Madhevere took one apiece, though the bowlers proved expensive. They did manage to pull things back slightly during the death overs, but it was still a big total to chase.
Zimbabwe run out of gas - Despite losing three wickets in the Powerplay, a familiar pattern for Zimbabwe in this series, the hosts scored at a brisk rate to reach 53/3, with Ben Curran and Dion Myers doing most of the damage. Ryan Burl and Wessly Madhevere then kept the chase alive with a 60-run stand, but Madhevere's dismissal at the wrong time left Burl with too much to do. The left-hander battled on to an unbeaten 54, but the target ultimately proved beyond Zimbabwe's reach.
A perfect series for India - India have completed the whitewash with another impressive performance at Harare Sports Club. The scoreline reads 3-0, leaving Shreyas Iyer a delighted skipper as his side have underlined their quality and shown why they remain the No. 1 ranked T20I team and the reigning World Champions. Zimbabwe have produced some excellent results in the format recently, but they have been second best throughout this series against a dominant Indian side.

DRINKS! Zimbabwe need 116 runs in 60 balls. Have to say India are on top of the game, and the last fw overs have been very quiet. The hosts need to start getting going to keep up with the rising asking rate. Ryan Burl holds the key for them, while the visitors know that if they can pick up a couple of wickets quickly, they can probably wrap it up soon. Abhishek Sharma will bowl after the break.

Ashok Sharma To Ben Curran
IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! Back-of-a-length delivery on off. Curran is rushed by the extra pace and miscues it straight up in the air behind the stumps. Ishan Kishan, the keeper, settles under it but the ball pops out of his gloves. Curran already started walking back to the hut and does not take the single even with the overthrow. Kishan is not having a great series behind the stumps.

Yash Thakur To Sikandar Raza OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A spectacular return catch from Yash Thakur sends Sikandar Raza back for a golden duck. This is on a hard length and just on off, Sikandar Raza steps across to clip it across the line but the ball just stops on him. It takes the leading edge and lobs to the left of the bowler. Thakur on his follow-through, changes his direction swiftly to move towards the ball, and stretches out his left hand to pluck it out of thin air. Thakur is on a hat-trick now. 34/1 becomes 34/3 for Zimbabwe.
Myers perishes after a cameo. Sikandar Raza comes in at number 4.

Yash Thakur To Dion Myers OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Mayank Yadav will be a relieved man, and Yash Thakur eventually gets his man. He sees the batter back away, serves this full, angling into the leg side and takes pace off as well. Dion Myers looks to loft it over extra covers but checks his shot due to the lack of pace. He gets a top edge that flies over mid off, where Shreyas Iyer runs backwards and takes a good catch. Zimbabwe are 34/2, still needing 159 runs in 98 balls.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The perfect start for Mayank Yadav and India. He starts with a hard-length delivery, on off, gets it to nip back in a bit.

Twice in three games, Bennett walks back for a golden duck. Zimbabwe are 0/1, chasing 193 runs.
