Team India survived a brilliant hundred from Sikandar Raza to prevail in the final one-dayer in Harare and complete a 3-0 clean sweep against Zimbabwe.

Raza's brilliant 115 off 95 took Zimbabwe extremely close to the 290-run target but his wicket in the penultimate over ended the incredible fightback from the home side, who at one stage were tottering at 169/7.

Raza and Brad Evans' stunning 104-run 8th wicket partnership did raise hopes of a consolation win for the hosts but both Avesh Khan & Shardul Thakur struck in the final overs to clinch the game for India.

Earlier, having opted to bat, Shubman Gill's maiden international ton and Ishan Kishan's fifty helped India post 289 after KL Rahul & Shikhar Dhawan had put together a 63-run opening stand.

Gill, who was adjudged the Player of the Match as well as the Series, scored 130 runs from 97 deliveries in the 3rd ODI, and finished with 245 runs in total for the series.
