India vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI Highlights: Bowlers lead the way as India beat Zimbabwe by 5 wickets, seal series

Tanaka Chivanga to KL Rahul, Short again, wide outside off, this time Rahul cuts it over backward point and gets off the mark with a single.

Tanaka Chivanga to KL Rahul, Short in length and wide outside off, Rahul pushes it from the bottom half of his bat to cover-point. Looks for a run but it is not available.

We are back for the chase! The umpires and the players are out in the middle. It will be Shikhar Dhawan joined by the skipper, KL Rahul at the top for India. Tanaka Chivanga will get proceedings underway with the ball for Zimbabwe.

Tanaka Chivanga to KL Rahul, Wide! A length ball swinging down the leg side, KL tries to flick but misses. It's a good diving take by Regis Chakabva. 

Tanaka Chivanga to KL Rahul, Shortish and outside off, some extra bounce again as KL Rahul makes the leave.

Tanaka Chivanga to Shikhar Dhawan, India are away! A sizzling delivery, short and around off, Dhawan leaves and Chakabva gets into a tangle while collecting it. There is some extra bounce and speed, it hits him on the gloves and rolls down to fine leg. They cross for a bye.

Tanaka Chivanga to Shikhar Dhawan, A muted appeal, but only from the keeper. Back of a length, around off and angling in, Dhawan offers no shot and it breezes past his thigh pad and bat. Chakabva appeals but he is the only one doing so.

... The Run Chase ...

Right then, India have a simple chase at hand again. The only thing that interests us is to find out who will open for them. Will the pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill continue? Or are we going to see a different opening combination? Do join us in a short while to find out.

On being asked about coming on as the first change, Shardul Thakur replies that it's a bit of both, he looks at what lengths the opening bowlers bowled and if there's swing on offer or not and it also depends on the batter. Shares that early on the pitch was on the slower side and not being too full or too short was the key. Also adds that later on pitch quickened up and hence they tried to bowl bouncers. Mentions that he has a good skill set and it is just about polishing it in the net. Also says that when the other bowlers are doing good, it's just about hitting the right lengths.

The Indian bowling was once again exceptional. Their fast bowlers got favourable conditions to bowl again and left their mark. They didn't pick early wickets but always had the Zimbabwean batters on the back foot. Every bowler contributed and Shardul Thakur was the pick with a 3-wicket haul. Here he is, having a quick word...

No doubt, the conditions upfront were challenging but after surviving 8 overs or so without losing any wicket, expectations were high from Zimbabwe. But once the first wicket fell, it was a procession. Four wickets went down in a hurry and a little bit of rescue act was done by the pair of Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams. Both the experienced batters didn't last for long though and it was due to Ryan Burl's knock that the hosts crossed the 150-run mark.  

Yet another poor batting show by Zimbabwe, poorer than the first ODI by 28 runs. No fight. No application. Nothing. A meek surrender once more. Losing the toss was a big blow to them but as an international team, you should be ready to do both, with better planning. Zimbabwe lacked planning and execution and got bundled out for a paltry total.

Prasidh Krishna to Ryan Burl, OUT! RUN OUT! A catastrophic end to the Zimbabwean innings. Prasidh Krishna starts off the new spell with a length ball around off. Ryan Burl taps it away towards deep cover and gets across for a single. Ryan Burl though wants to get back on strike and starts running for the second. Bot batters are left stranded near the batter's end and Tanaka Chivanga has to scamper back. Kuldeep Yadav picks up the ball and throws it to the bowler who has an easy job of just whipping off the bails. Chivanga is the last man to depart for Zimbabwe and they have been bundled out for 161!

DRS time.
