India will look to seal the three-match series against Zimbabwe when they take the field for the second ODI on Sunday.

India, meanwhile, eyes an unassailable lead but isn’t without its own headaches. The pacers were erratic in the first ODI. Nandni Sharma, who made way for debutant Jintimani Kalita, was spotted doing her routines with her left knee in a compression brace.
But the bigger issues are the wayward lines India settled into after the PowerPlay and an inability to bowl to set fields, which Zimbabwe smartly capitalised on.
