IND vs ZIM 2nd ODI: India Wins the Toss, Elects to Bowl First

The second ODI between India and Zimbabwe is already on and India has chance to win another series with this match. In the first of the three ODI matches between India and Zimbabwe that have been played so far, India won, pertaining to a 1-0 series lead. Here in this article, we talk about the updates of IND vs ZIM Playing XI.

India defeated Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in the opening ODI. In the match, India chose to field first after winning the toss. When Zimbabwe batted, they scored 189 runs, with Regis Chakabva and Richard Ngarava each scoring 35 and 34 runs, respectively. For India, Deepak Chahar, Prasidh Krishna, and Axar Patel each took three wickets.

Regarding the chase, India was able to complete the task in the 31st over on its own, with the help of Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill, who contributed 81 and 82 runs, respectively, to the team’s victory.

India will be hoping to have another strong showing in this game. Zimbabwe would be trying to put its last performance behind them and perform well this time.

Here are the updates of IND vs ZIM Playing XI:

In place of Deepak Chahar, India substituted Shardul Thakur for the eleven that defeated the opposition by 10 wickets in the prior encounter. In the first ODI of the series, Chahar had a successful comeback from his injury, and he was named Player of the Match for taking 3 for 27 in seven overs.

The Zimbabwean team underwent two changes. Tadiwanashe Marumani was replaced as the opener by Takudzwanashe Kaitano, and left-arm seamer Richard Ngarava, who failed to pick up a wicket but still scored a critical 34 runs with the bat, was replaced by seamer Tanaka Chivanga.

Rahul declared at the toss that the surface was “harder than a couple of days before,” but he anticipated that his bowlers will take advantage of the slight nip in the air brought on by the early start in Harare.

As a result of their bowlers dismissing Zimbabwe for 189 in game one and their openers successfully chasing down the target in the 31st over, India enjoys a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

India: Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul (capt), Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson (wk), Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj

Zimbabwe: Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Innocent Kaia, Sean Williams, Wessly Madhevere, Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva (capt & wk), Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Bradley Evans, Victor Nyauchi, Tanaka Chivanga.
