Zimbabwe vs India second ODI odds: Get predictions, and betting tips

Zimbabwe face India in the second one-day international on Saturday, August 20, 2022, at the Harare Sports Club, Zimbabwe. The match will begin at 12:45 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).

The Zimbabwean cricket team were outplayed in the first ODI of the ongoing three-match series against India. The batters failed to put up a solid total in the first innings while the bowlers weren’t able to get the better of the Indian opening batters. However, the Chevrons won 2-1 against Bangladesh in their last ODI series, thanks to Sikandar Raza’s all-round performance. 

India were dominant against West Indies in their previous series and continued in the same vein against Zimbabwe in the first match of this series. The Indian openers took the team to their second 10-wicket win in ODIs this year, which is also their second-consecutive 10-wicket win against Zimbabwe. Shubman Gill scored 82 runs off 72 balls while earlier with the ball, Deepak Chahar took a three-fer which earned him the Man of the Match award.

The Chevrons as well as the Men in Blue are expected to field the same playing XI in the second ODI at Harare.

Zimbabwe vs India 2nd ODI prediction

The Indian cricket team will once again be overwhelming favourites to beat Zimbabwe considering their overall form and head-to-head record in this format. The Men in Blue were convincing winners in the last game.

Zimbabwe are unlikely to trouble this Indian team at Harare as their batters have struggled against the Men in Blue in ODIs over the last decade.
