Zimbabwe vs India 2022, 2nd ODI – Dafanews Match Preview

Zimbabwe will lock horns against India in the second ODI at the Harare Sports Club, Harare on Saturday. The visitors took a 1-0 lead in the series after they won the first ODI convincingly by 10 wickets and with 115 balls to spare.

It was a dominating performance from the tourists as they ticked the right boxes as a unit. We take a look at the current form, head to head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of India: W W W W W

India has won their last five ODI matches and they have won their last 13 ODI matches against Zimbabwe, which is their longest streak in the 50-overs format against any team. The bowlers did a fine job for India and then the openers chased down the target with ease.

Current form of Zimbabwe: L L W W L

Zimbabwean batters were blown away by Deepak Chahar in the first few overs and they will need to come up with a better batting show in the rest of the matches to stay competitive. The hosts also failed to take a solitary wicket and the big loss must have dented their confidence.

Head to Head: Matches: 64, Won by India: 52, Won by Zimbabwe: 10, Tied: 2.

India clearly holds a big edge over Zimbabwe in the head-to-head battle.

Players to look out for: Shikhar Dhawan, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson, Deepak Chahar, and Prasidh Krishna will be the key players for India.

Sikander Raza, Regis Chakabva, Ryan Burl, Clive Madande, and Luke Jongwe will hold the key for Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe squad: Ryan Burl, Regis Chakabva (captain), Tanaka Chivanga, Bradley Evans, Luke Jongwe, Innocent Kaia, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Clive Madande, Wessely Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, John Masara, Tony Munyonga, Richard Ngarava, Victor Nyauchi, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Donald Tiripano.

India ODI squad: KL Rahul (c), Shikhar Dhawan (vc), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Prasidh Krishna, Mohd Siraj, Deepak Chahar.
