The stage is set for the fifth and final T20I match between India and Zimbabwe, scheduled to be played on Sunday at Harare Sports Club, Harare. The fifth and final match will serve as the concluding chapter in a series that has already been claimed by India, who clinched the series by securing victories in the past three matches in a row. With India leading the series 3-1, the final T20I holds significance for both teams, albeit for different reasons.

India's performance in the series has been nothing short of dominant. Winning three consecutive matches, they showcased their depth, skill, and strategic acumen. After stumbling in the first game, where Zimbabwe stunned India, men in blue have been in stellar form, not allowing Zimbabwe to overpower them. 

For Zimbabwe, the final T20I against India represents an opportunity to salvage some pride and end the series on a high note. Zimbabwe have had a mixed run, with moments of brilliance overshadowed by inconsistency. Zimbabwe will view the final T20I as an opportunity to pull off a memorable victory and gain valuable experience against formidable India

Zimbabwe probable XI: Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Brian Bennett,  Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza (c), Johnathan Campbell, Faraz Akram, Clive Madande (wk), Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chatara
