ODI hat-trick

India once again proved its dominance in cricket by winning the final ODI match against Zimbabwe. It was a hat-trick with India defeating the hosts for the third time after winning series 5-0 and 3-0 in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Captain Mahendra Dhoni’s boys bulldozed Zimbabwe by bowling them out for their lowest total — 123 — and wrapping up the match in 21.5 overs. The series was definitely a good opportunity to try out the next line of Indian players and rest the A-team for stronger opponents. The new lot didn’t disappoint.
