IND vs ZIM 2022, 2nd ODI: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
Team India will look to seal the three-match series when they face Zimbabwe in the second ODI at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday (August 20). The Men in Blue were completely dominant over the hosts in the opening game as they registered a thumping 10-wicket triumph.
Pacer Deepak Chahar made a successful return to international cricket from injury, claiming three wickets at the top to put Zimbabwe on the backfoot. Left-arm spinner Axar Patel and fast bowler Prasidh Krishna then chipped in with three wickets each as Zimbabwe crumbled to 189 all out in 40.3 overs.
India easily chased down the target, with Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill registering unbeaten 80s. The duo had a terrific tour of the West Indies and continued their great run with the willow in the first ODI against Zimbabwe as well. The flip side of their big partnership was that skipper KL Rahul did not get to bat. India need him to get some runs under his belt before the Asia Cup.
Today's IND vs ZIM toss result
India have won the toss and have opted to bowl first. Opening up about the decision, skipper Rahul said:
“Looks a little better, looks a lot harder than the previous surface and obviously bowling first there's something in the wicket, hopefully we get early wickets.”
Captain KL Rahul wins the toss and we will bowl first in the 2nd ODI.
