Luke Jongwe (2/33) produced a double blow, dismissing Ishan Kishan (6) and a well-set Shubman Gill in successive overs, to reduce India to 97 for four at the drinks break.

ZIM vs IND: Presenting the predictions for Playing XI and the best fantasy team for the 2nd ODI between India and Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club.

There won’t be any Jimmy Anderson or Josh Hazlewood in operation but even then battling the conditions would be a good test for Rahul and his players. Just like batting in morning could be a challenge for Rahul and Co., bowling in the warm afternoon conditions with no lateral movement on offer would test the character of pacers and their improvisation skills. The immediate target for the side would be to try and bat first in case Rahul wins the toss in Saturday’s second ODI.
