Let us take you through the top parlay picks for the third T20I between Zimbabwe and India, which is set to be played at Harare Sports Club on July 10.
The series stands level at 1-1 with Zimbabwe winning the first game and India responding with a comprehensive victory in the second. The five-match T20I series is being played at the Harare Sports Club from July 6th to July 14th.
For India, this series presents an ideal opportunity to test their bench strength and showcase emerging talents. With several senior players taking a well-deserved rest following the demanding World Cup campaign, the focus shifts to the younger, less experienced members of the squad.
On the flip side, Zimbabwe aims to make a significant impression against one of cricket’s heavyweights. The home team will lean heavily on their key players—Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza, and Blessing Muzarabani—to pose a formidable challenge to the Indian side.
In the series opener, Zimbabwe stunned the inexperienced Indian team by 13 runs. Indian bowlers delivered a solid performance, limiting Zimbabwe to 115/9 in their 20 overs. Ravi Bishnoi was the standout bowler, taking 4 wickets for just 13 runs in his four overs. However, India’s chase faltered early on. The top order crumbled, and they found themselves at 22 for 4 within the first five overs. Despite Shubman Gill’s 31 off 29 balls and Washington Sundar’s 27, the Indian side couldn’t reach the target, falling short in their pursuit.
The men in blue bounced back with a 100-run hammering in the second game to level the series. They opted to bat first this time but had a slow start with only 36/1 in the powerplay. Abhishek Sharma went on to smash a blistering 100 off just 47 deliveries while Ruturaj Gaikwad made 77 not-out in 47 and Rinku Singh struck a 22-ball 48 to power the team to 234. Defending the target, Indian bowlers gave the hosts no chance as Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan snared three wickets each.

India to win
Zimbabwe to beat India at odds of 1.15 (20Bet)
The head to head record is in India’s favour with six wins to three but it doesn’t mean much with both teams featuring young blood. Looking at the two squads, the men in blue have a slight edge heading into the game.
Led by Shubman Gill, the new-look Indian team includes promising names in the batting unit such as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, and Riyan Parag. As for the bowling department, they have Ravi Bishnoi, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar and Washington Sundar.
The home team has a pretty decent bowling unit as well with the likes of Sikandar Raza, Blessing Muzarabani and Tendai Chatara. But their batting line-up can be vulnerable and relies heavily on Raza.
Bet on India to win this match at odds of 1.15 on 20Bet.
Shubman Gill top India batter
Shubman Gill to be the top batter for India at odds of 3.75 (BetWinner)
Shubman Gill is one of the best players in the world, and his consistency and knack for playing big knocks makes him a reliable betting option.
The young Indian superstar has a pretty good record in the shorter format, having amassed over 4200 runs at an average of 36 and strike rate of 137. He has six centuries and 24 half centuries to his credit in T20 cricket.
Gill was the top run-getter for India in the opening game of this series with 31 off 29 while the rest of the line-up collapsed. Betting on Gill to be the top batter for India at odds of 3.75 on BetWinner would be a good move.
Ravi Bishnoi top India bowler
Ravi Bishnoi to be the top bowler for India at odds of 4.33 (BetWinner)
The 23-year old leg-break bowler was a regular part of the Indian T20 team in the last couple of years but lost his spot ahead of the T20 World Cup. Ravi Bishnoi will once again be aiming to regain the spot in India’s full-strength side with strong performances here.
Bishnoi started the series exceptionally, picking career-best figures of 4 for 13 in his four-over spell with two maidens in it. He followed it up with 2 for 11 in four overs in the second match.
Speaking of his T20 internationals record, he has taken 42 wickets from 25 games at an economy of 7.30. You can bet on Bishnoi to be the top India bowler at odds of 4.33 on BetWinner.
Sikandar Raza TO 30.5 performance points
Sikandar Raza to score over 30.5 performance points at odds of 1.83 (BetWinner)
The veteran Zimbabwe all-rounder has established himself as one of the most valuable players in T20 cricket with consistent performances over the last few years. He is often the one-man army for his team in international cricket especially with the bat.
In his overall T20 career, he has scored over 5000 runs at 26 average and 134 strike rate. Raza has also picked 140 wickets at an economy of 7.13. He was the player of the match in the first T20I, where he claimed 3 for 25 and scored 17 runs with the bat.
Back Raza to score over 30.5 performance points in the game at odds of 1.83 on BetWinner.
Most sixes – India
India to hit the most number of sixes at odds of 1.40 (20Bet)
Looking at the two squads, India seem to have a stronger batting line-up despite the lack of international experience. They have Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, and Riyan Parag, all of whom are pretty capable six-hitters.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will have to rely on Sikandar Raza and Brian Bennett to clear the ropes. The second game witnessed India smashing 14 sixes in the innings while Zimbabwe could hit only four maximums. Betting on India to hit the most number of sixes would be a safe option at odds of 1.40 on 20Bet.
