A fifth-wicket partnership of 144 between Kedar Jadhav, who made a maiden hundred, and Manish Pandey, who made 71 on debut, revived India to 276 for 5 after another top-order stumble had left them in trouble at 82 for 4. Led by Chamu Chibhabha's 82, Zimbabwe built a base for themselves at 150 for 3 in the 35th over, but lost their last seven wickets for 43 runs to hand India a 3-0 series sweep.
Yet again, Zimbabwe's seamers let the opposition get away after putting them under considerable pressure in the first half of the innings. Jadhav and Pandey quietly batted themselves in and got through the difficult period against the seamers before targeting legspinner Graeme Cremer to build momentum. Zimbabwe's death bowling fell apart once more. Despite Pandey's exit in the 47th over, Jadhav and Stuart Binny helped India take 106 off the last ten.
