Dhawan falls short of fifty

Tanka Chivanga gets the big wicket of Shikhar Dhawan. Both India's captain and vice-captain are back in the dugout. Ishan Kishan and Shubhman Gill are at the crease for visitors.

Victor Nyauchi draws first blood

KL Rahul opens the batting for the first time after recovery and fails. Rahul misses the flick shot and gets struck right before the wicket. India lose early wicket. 

Shardul Thakur scalped wickets and was #TeamIndia's Top Performer from the first innings.

Dominant performance by the Men in Blue bowling attack, Sanju Samson had a great day with three catches behind the wicket.

ZIM- 161 (38.1 Overs), Ryan Burl 38* (46) 

Shardul STRIKES!

Shardul Thakur takes his third wicket of the match with Jongwe bowled in by the right-arm pacer. India on top of their game as Zimbabwe keep losing wickets.

ZIM- 130/7 (33 Overs), Evans 1 (1) &  Burl 22 (32)

India on top

Zimbabwe are 6 wickets down with 124 runs on the board at the moment. Luke Jongwe and Ryan Burl in the middle trying to steady the ship for their team.

ZIM- 124/6 (31.3 Overs), Jongwe 1 (10) & Burl 22 (30)

Zimbabwe go past 100!

Ryan Burl has joined Sean Williams in the middle and the duo have steadied the ship for a while. A nice, quick stand for the 6th wicket is coming up and they need to go a long way from here. Indian spinners in action right now. 

ZIM 101/5 (27)

ZIM lose half of their side!

Sean Williams is playing a lone hand at the moment in the middle for the hosts. He is on 25. But he is losing partners at the other end. Thakur has 2 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav picked up his 1 wicket by dismissing Sikandar Raza for 16 as India look to bowl out the hosts cheaply. 

ZIM 75/5 (21.4)

Raza & Williams steady Zimbabwe

Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams steady the ship for Zimbabwe after they lost 4 wickets in quick succession. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have been brought into the attack by skipper KL Rahul.

ZIM- 69/4 (20 Overs), Raza 15 (27) & Williams 23 (17)

GONE!

Prasidh Krishna this time with a stunning delivery to dismiss Madhevere 2 (12). He is caught behind by Sanju Samson. It was a back of a length ball which gets the outside edge to dismiss the right-hander. Indian bowlers are having a field day with the bounce the wicket is providing.

ZIM- 39/4 (13.1 Overs), Raza 5 (3) & Williams 3 (1)

Two in one over!

Shardul Thakur gets another one as Chakabva 2 (5) is caught by Shubman Gill. Looks like India are picking up right from where they left in the first ODI. Dominant performance by the Men in Blue bowling attack.

ZIM- 29/3 (12 Overs), Madhevere 0 (8)

OUT!

Shardul Thakur strikes! Kaia 16 (27) caught behind by Sanju Samson. It was an ordinary delivery but the right-hander failed to execute the pull-shot nicking it behind for the keeper. India on top!

ZIM- 27/2 (11.3 Overs), Madhevere 0 (8) & Chakabva 0 (3)

OUT!

Shardul Thakur strikes! Kaia 16 (27) caught behind by Sanju Samson. It was an ordinary delivery but the right-hander failed to execute the pull-shot nicking it behind for the keeper. India on top!

ZIM- 27/2 (11.3 Overs), Madhevere 0 (8) & Chakabva 0 (3)

India pick 1st wicket!

Siraj has been rewarded for her patience and discipline as he finally picks up a wicket in the 9th over of the innings, dismisses Kaitano for just 7 made off 32 balls, caught behind by Samson. Wesley Madhevere, right handed bat, comes to the crease. Kaia at the other end, batting on 10. 

ZIM 20/1 (9)

A sedate start for Zimbabwe!

Krishna and Siraj continue to bowl in tandem. They are hitting the right areas but both the batters are cautious against the pace bowling as they do not want to repeat the mistakes committed in the 1st ODI. 

India still in search of 1st wicket. 

ZIM 12/0 (7)
