A fancied Indian team is a shoo-in to complete a 3-0 ODI series sweep against a Zimbabwe side that has been struggling to put up even a semblance of a fight. Having done exceedingly well to not just turn up but trump their hapless opponents on all fronts in the preceding two matches, India will enter the third and final ODI knowing well that the script is unlikely to change at the Harare Sports Complex on Monday. This will translate to the visiting team getting yet another opportunity to carry out experimentation keeping the bigger picture in mind, i.e, next year's ICC World Cup.
India have gained an unassailable 2-0 lead over Zimbabwe in the three-match ODI series, after claiming victories in first two matches. In the second ODI, which was played on Saturday at Harare Sports Club, India opted to bowl first and bundled out Zimbabwe for 161. In return, the hosts scalped an early wicket of skipper KL Rahul, who came as an opener with Shikhar Dhawan. But strong batting performances by Dhawan, Shubman Gill, and Sanju Samson, led Team India to a five-wicket win.
After gaining an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, Team India would look to wrap up the series on Monday and register a clean sweep. In both the ODIs so far, Team India bowled first and bundled out the hosts for below par totals of 189 and 161. In the second ODI, all eyes were on KL Rahul on how he goes about his batting, but the stand-in skipper failed to leave a mark as he was dismissed after scoring just 1 run.
KL Rahul on Thursday registered his first win as India captain as he led them to a 10-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the first ODI in Harare. Rahul, returning to the field for the first time since IPL 2022, did not get a chance to bat, but he did impress fans before the match even got underway. As the two teams lined up for the national anthems, Rahul was seen chewing a gum. Before India's national anthem began, he was seen taking the chewing gum out of his mouth.
India's top order wobbled a bit while chasing a small total but captain KL Rahul said his side was not nervous as it notched up a comprehensive five-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the second ODI to clinch the series with one match remaining here on Saturday. Chasing 162 to win, India were 97 for 4 at the end of the 14th over before Sanju Samson's unbeaten 43 off 39 balls took the visitors home with 24.2 overs left. "We bat deep and it's good for some of the guys to get time in the middle. We weren't nervous," Rahul said at the post-match presentation.
