India vs Zimbabwe,Live Cricket Score: India look to wrap up Zimbabwe tour with yet another series win

India did well to bounce back and register a comprehensive win over Zimbabwe in the second T20I. The three-match series is now nicely poised at one each, and both teams definitely will have their eyes set on the series win. However, it is India who come into the match as favourites.MS Dhoni’s young brigade will be keen to end the Zimbabwe tour with a win and thus, clinch yet another series win against the African side. After the first T20I, Zimbabwe did give an indication that they will put up a fight. However, a rare win was followed by yet another defeat as Zimbabwe looked depleted, once again.

The hosts were restricted to under 100 in the second T20I, and then India chased down with ease. The only time Zimbabwe batted well they ended up winning, something team management should ponder upon. Batting alone may not win you matches, but it does make a side competitive enough.

Interestingly, India have not set Zimbabwe a target in any of the matches on this tour. Maybe Dhoni should look to bat first in case he wins the toss. Even Zimbabwe can try and put India to bat.

Change in playing XI as far as India are concerned looks unlikely. Hosts Zimbabwe may think of making few changes. Hamilton Masakadza is struggling at top and Zimbabwe may replace him or bring him somewhere in the middle-order.

Here is a look at squads:

India: MS Dhoni (captain), KL Rahul, Faiz Fazal, Manish Pandey, Karun Nair, Ambati Rayudu, Rishi Dhawan, Axar Patel, Jayant Yadav, Dhawal Kulkarni, Jasprit Bumrah, Barinder Sran, Mandeep Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Jaydev Unadkat, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Zimbabwe: Graeme Cremer (captain), Richmond Mutumbami, Taurai Muzarabani, Brian Chari, Peter Moor, Elton Chigumbura, Vusi Sibanda, Luke Jongwe, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Neville Madziva, Donald Tiripano, Timycen Maruma, Wellington Masakadza, Tendai Chisoro, Hamilton Masakadza, Tendai Chatara, Malcolm Waller.
