Harare [Zimbabwe], July 14 (ANI): Sikandar Raza-led Zimbabwe won the toss and decided to field against Shubman Gill's India in the fifth match of the five-game T20I series at the Harare Sports Club on Sunday.

They are coming into this match after beating the hosts by 10 wickets. The Men in Blue are at their top form currently and will start the match as the favourites.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe failed to keep their momentum in the series after winning the opening game of the series. The hosts will be looking forward to end the series on a high and win the final match of the series.
Speaking at the toss, Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza said that the pitch at the Harare Sports Club got better.
"We are gonna have a bowl first. The wicket did get better. They will get better when we bat second. The motivation, confidence and skillset is there. Chatara has been rested," Raza said.
India skipper Shubman Gill said that Riyan Parag and Mukesh Kumar have made it into the Men in Blue first eleven.
