India sweep Zimbabwe T20I series 3-0 behind Sooryavanshi’s 81
A 35-run win in the third T20I gave India a 3-0 series sweep over Zimbabwe, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scoring 81 and Mayank Yadav taking three wickets.
India wrapped up a 3-0 T20I series win over Zimbabwe on Sunday, defeating the hosts by 35 runs in the third and deciding match at Harare Sports Club. Zimbabwe were set 193 to win after India posted 192/5, and were restricted to 157/7 in their 20 overs.
Opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi led India’s batting with 81 off 49 balls, extending a strong run of form through the series. He had opened the series with a maiden T20I half-century off 18 balls, followed by 20 off 9 balls in the second match.
At 15 years old, Sooryavanshi is now the first batter from a full-member Test nation to score two international fifties before turning 16.
Zimbabwe’s reply was kept in check by India’s bowling attack, led by Mayank Yadav’s 3 for 29. The pace bowler’s spell proved decisive in preventing any late push from the home side.
The 3-0 result in the T20Is follows a matching 3-0 sweep in the ODI series earlier in the tour, giving India a clean sweep across both formats against Zimbabwe.

Jadeja’s fitness a talking point as India name Sri Lanka Test squad
Ravindra Jadeja’s fitness is a key talking point as India prepare to name their Test squad ahead of the Sri Lanka tour starting August 15.
Ravindra Jadeja’s fitness is shaping up as a key talking point as India prepare to name their Test squad for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
The all-rounder has been managing a tennis elbow injury from IPL 2026, and there is no official confirmation yet of his recovery status.
Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness is likewise under review by the selectors. Neither he nor Jadeja featured in India’s one-off Test against Afghanistan.
Still, Jadeja is expected to be in the frame for a return, with his all-round abilities considered valuable against Sri Lanka.
The two-Test series begins with the opener at Galle on August 15, followed by the second Test in Colombo from August 23.
India are currently placed fifth in the World Test Championship standings ahead of the series.
