Most player of the match awards in India vs Zimbabwe matches
The ODI run list is led by a Zimbabwean. Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe) has 388 runs in 13 innings, just ahead of AT Rayudu (India) on 369 from only 7 innings at an average of 123.00. BRM Taylor (Zimbabwe) holds the best single ODI score, 138 off 110 balls at Eden Park on 14 Mar 2015, yet India still chased down Zimbabwe’s 287 that day.
With the ball, India own the ODI list. A Mishra (India) has 19 wickets, including 6/48 on 3 Aug 2013, and AR Patel (India) has 14.
In T20Is, BJ Bennett (Zimbabwe) has 200 runs, with a best of 97* in Chennai on 26 Feb 2026. Abhishek Sharma (India) made the only hundred, 100 off 47 balls in Jul 2024. B Muzarabani (Zimbabwe) sits top of the T20I bowling with 12 scalps, and BB Sran (India) has the best figures, 4/10.
Harare, Batting Order and Toss Calls
Harare Sports Club is close to a second home in this fixture: 31 of the 40 games were played there, and India took 27. The Harare Sports Club records give the wider picture at that ground.
Batting order matters differently by format. ODI chasers have the better of it, 14 wins against 8 for teams setting a target, and a typical ODI first innings here is 220. In T20Is, setting a target has paid off 12 times and chasing only 5, while the T20I first innings averages 165. Calling correctly has helped a little, not a lot. The captain who won the toss finished on the winning side 13 times in 22 ODIs, and 10 times in 17 T20Is.
Which side leads the India vs Zimbabwe matches overall?
India lead 35 to 5. The 40 games covered here include a single Test plus 22 ODIs and 17 T20Is, the first played on 19 Feb 2003.
When did India and Zimbabwe last play?
On 26 Jul 2026, in a Harare T20I that India took by 35 runs. That made 8 T20I wins in a row for India over Zimbabwe.
Which batter has the most India vs Zimbabwe ODI runs?
Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe), with 388 from 13 innings. AT Rayudu (India) has 369 and S Dhawan (India) 367, so the top three are tightly bunched.
What are the highest T20I scores between India and Zimbabwe?
India’s 256/4 in Chennai on 26 Feb 2026 is the top team total. Abhishek Sharma (India) made the only individual hundred, 100 off 47 balls in Harare on 7 Jul 2024.
What is India's biggest win over Zimbabwe?
The Bulawayo Test of Sep 2005, won by an innings and 90 runs. By runs alone, it is 161 in an ODI at Harare on 29 Aug 2005, when Zimbabwe folded for 65. The T20I best is a 100-run margin from 7 Jul 2024.
