The second string Indian team will be taking on the hosts Zimbabwe in the second one day international of the three-match series here today.
The Ajinkya Rahane-led side would be looking to improve their performance in all the departments this time as they escaped from a close defeat at the hands of the minnows in the previous game.
Apart from Ambati Rayadu and Stuart Binny, none of the batsman could manage to get a respectable total. The bowling too was not up to the standards with the only silver lining coming in the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who held his nerves in the final overs and guided his team to a close win.
Toss could once again be a crucial factor, with the bowlers clearly having more of an advantage while bowling first.
