For Zimbabwe, their top-socrer was their captain Regis Chakabva who scored a fighting 35. However, it was unbeaten 33 from Brad Evans and 34 from Richard Ngarava that helped the home team get to a fighting total og 189 in the end after they were bowled out under 41 overs. 


India chased the total down with more than 19 overs remaining in the contest and with 10 wickets intact. Quite contrary to the expectations, KL Rahul didn't open the innings and it was Shubman Gill rather who walked out of the dressing room along side Shikhar Dhawan to begin the chase of 190 runs. It was a shaky start for both of them but particularly Gill who took his own time to settle in. Once his eye was in, he started playing his shots and raced to unbeaten 82 off 72 balls that included 10 fours and 1 six respectively. Dhawan, at the other end, slowly built his innings, ensuring India went past the target without any loss of wicket. He scored an unbeaten 81 off 113 balls that included 9 boundaries.

India will hope to seal the series when they take on Zimbabwe in the 2nd ODI.
