India are currently leading the five-match series 2-1 and a win will get them an unassailable lead, while Zimbabwe would be itching to get the victory and make Sunday\u2019s clash a winner-takes-it-all decider.

In 80 T20 games, the Mumbai-based Deshpande has taken 116 wickets and was a member of the Chennai Super Kings side that won the IPL 2023 title, earning the reputation of a bowler able to deliver in any phase of the game. He comes into the India playing eleven for Saturday\u2019s match in place of Avesh Khan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cLooks like a fresh wicket. There should be something in for the fast bowlers We have given a few too many runs in the last few overs, want to plug that. They were 50 odd for 5 and from then scoring 150, thought we got complacent,\u201d said Gill.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza said all-rounder Faraz Akram comes in for spinner Wellington Masakadza in the playing eleven. \u201cIt is a fresh wicket. The wicket tends to get slower and slower, so put runs on the board and take it from there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe have a vision for 2026 and these boys need quality game time. Hope we can kick on. Our idea is to fire in all three departments. I am pretty confident, the two bad games are a one-off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
