New Delhi: The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and Zimbabwe will be played today (August 20) at the Harare Stadium. Team India is full of confidence after registering a thumping 10-wicket win in the first match. Now Team India, captained by KL Rahul, would like to capture the ODI series by winning this second match.
If they win the toss in the second ODI, Team India will intend to bat first, so that all the batsmen can get game time. By the way, due to the bouncy pitch and strong winds, the challenge will not be easy for the batsmen in the beginning. Zimbabwe does not have bowlers like Trent Boult and Josh Hazlewood, but it can be challenging for Team India to overcome the situation.
Deepak Chahar had also said after the first match that the bowlers did not get much help in the second session, but the first hour's play was not easy for the batsmen. Captain Rahul, who got the inning opened with Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill in the first match, showed good leadership ability, but now he will also need batting practice before the Asia Cup. This is a golden opportunity for Rahul against a soft team like Zimbabwe.
India: Kl Rahul (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Deepak Chahar, Shahbaz Ahmed.
Zimbabwe: Regis Chakabva (captain), Ryan Burl, Tanaka Chiwanga, Bradley Evans, Luke Jongwe, Innocent Kaya, T. Catano, Clive Madande, Wesley Madhevere, T. Marumani, John Masara, Tony Muniyonga, Richard Ngarava, Victor N., Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Donald Tiripano, Sean Williams.
