During his fabulous knocks against Zimbabwe in the 5th and final T20I of the series, Samson smashed a 110-meter six straight down the ground which saw the ball go over the roof of the stadium and eventually out of the park.

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.

“We were looking to bat first anyway. Our spinners have bowled well and the fast bowlers have been economical. The players have been hungry. It’s not easy to play back-to-back matches. Couple of changes. Mukesh Kumar and Parag come in,” Gill said.
