The KL Rahul-led Indian team that consists majorly of youngsters emerged victorious in a dominant fashion in the first ODI without even breaking a sweat.

Team India’s good day at the office continued when the batters concluded the below-par chase without any casualty. The Men in Blue will look to continue their dominance and claim the ODI series by winning the following game.
On the other hand, the Regis Chakabva-led unit had a forgettable day on the field, as they couldn’t attain any kind of success in either of the department. The top-order batters didn’t make a significant contribution, but some crucial runs from the tailenders helped the team to acquire a respectable total. In the bowling department, the team looked equally clueless as they couldn’t do any damage with the ball too even after using a total of eight bowlers. Zimbabwe will look to bounce back in the next game to stay alive in the series.
