ZIM vs IND: Team overview

India

Shikhar Dhawan, the vice-captain of Team India for the tour, showed outstanding performance throughout the one-day international series against West Indies.

The left-handed batsman, who started the innings for the Men in Blue, made some important contributions with the bat, and he will aim to continue his good form against Zimbabwe as well.

Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm spinner for Team India, will want to have a solid outing against Zimbabwe and strive to establish a regular spot for himself in the Indian squad. Zimbabwe is Team India’s upcoming opponent.

The skilled spinner has a lot of different variations at his disposal, and he will use all of them in the forthcoming encounter to try to take some crucial wickets for his team.

Zimbabwe  

The opening performance for Zimbabwe will be led by Wesley Madhevere and Innocent Kaia. In the most recent series, which was played against Afghanistan, Kaia made his first appearance and ended up finishing with 118 runs in three games. Through the course of this year, Madhevere has not been in very good shape. With only 52 runs in 5 one-day internationals, he could be exposed at the top. The presence of experienced individuals like Craig Irvine and Sean Williams at the top of the organization will bring about stability. Williams has scored 154 runs in three games, including a century, while Irvine has scored 162 runs in six innings and is the captain of the team.

Zimbabwe’s middle order has been providing assistance for the country for more than a year. Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva, and Ryan Burl have combined for 479 runs in the middle of the order over the course of six games. Raza has lead Zimbabwe in runs scored in both the ODI series that was played against Afghanistan and the T20I series that is being played against India. Muzarbani and Tendai Chatara, along with Tanaka Chivanga, will be in charge of directing the speedy onslaught for Zimbabwe. This year, Muzarbani has played six games and has taken 12 wickets while maintaining an economy rate of 5.11. Richard Nagarva deserves a shot at the bowling position after finishing the previous series with six wickets at an economy rate of 5.11 runs per over.

Bowlers will seek to change up their speed and work to get wickets early in the innings in order to slow down the rate at which runs are scored. If the skipper wins the toss, he or she may choose to go for the field first and then go for the total afterward.

ZIM vs IND 2nd ODI – Match winner prediction

The triumph of Zimbabwe in the Twenty20 International series has provided a significant boost to the team’s self-confidence. However, when it comes to the One-Day International format, they are unable to compete with India. Since 2006, India has won each of Zimbabwe’s one-day international series against them, making it a huge number of wins in a row. In addition to that, they have won the previous five one-day international series. India has won 12 of its most recent 15 One-Day International matches. In the most recent six one-day international matches, Zimbabwe has only one victory over it. As a result, India is the team we think will emerge victorious from the second one-day international.
