It's a wrap!
Okay guys, that's all we have had from this match. Hope you liked our coverage. To follow more sports action, stay connected to NDTV Sports. Until we meet again... Good-bye!
Samson seems to be in a mood to finish this game as soon as possible. It was a short ball from Sean Williams and Samson rocked back and hit him for a six towards fine leg. It didn't come from the middle of his bat, but who cares.
Deepak Hooda plays a beautiful upper cut to Jongwe for a four. The Indian batter continues to grow in confidence at the international level and this is a good sign for India as Hooda also offers off-spin bowling.
That's the end of Gill's fine knock! Jongwe bowled it outside off stump and Gill edged it directly into the hands of third man fielder. He departs on 33.
This is a beautiful cover drive from Deepak Hooda for a four. Neither the ball was on the driving length, nor the footwork was good but Hooda's hand-eye coordination is simply sensational.
Jongwe gets a wicket! Ishan Kishan chopped the back-of-a-length delivery on his stumps. It was well outside off stump but Kishan threw his bat on it and the risk made him pay the price.
What a shot this is from Shubman Gill! This is class at its very best. It was bowled fuller from Jongwe and the Indian batter presented the full face of his bat to drive the ball for a four straight down the ground.
A tad fuller from Nyauchi and Gill plays a beautiful cover drive for a four. The ball was not pitched on the driving length but Gill's class is special!
Victor Nyauchi trapped KL Rahul in front of the stumps. The umpire was convinced it was out. Rahul took a review but only to waste one as the ball tracker suggested that it would have hit the leg stump.
In the first ODI, India had bundled out Zimbabwe for 189 runs and in the second game they have dismissed them for another low total. Zimbabwe started their innings slow today to keep wickets in hand going forward but once India got the first breakthrough, there was no looking back.
Brad Evans was caught plumb in front of the stumps. Umpire was convinced that the batter was out but the latter took a review. Replays confirmed that there was a slight edge.
Shardul Thakur takes his revenge. He bowls it on the stumps again but dragged the length a bit this time. Jongwe misses his inside out shot and saw his stumps getting rattled.
First wicket for Kuldeep Yadav in the ongoing series. He has dismissed Sikandar Raza. The batter tried to create some room for himself before playing a cut short but he eventually edged one to Ishan Kishan at backward point.
