zim-vs-ind-2nd-odi-prediction

After a dominant victory in the 1st ODI, India would take the field at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday with nothing but victory in mind. A win here would also help them claim the series with a match to go. On the other hand, the hosts would want to put up a better show after they were blown away by the opposition in the series opener.

Prior to the team's second encounter in this three-match ODI series, here in this article we take a look at match prediction, win possibility, the powerplay score expected and the average score at this venue.

In their last 4 matches, India have won 2 tosses including the one in the previous match. On the other hand, Zimbabwe have won 3 tosses in their last 4 matches. So predicting Zimbabwe to win the toss in this match.

2. Win Possibility

India will start again as the overwhelming favourites to win the second ODI. They played like one of the best teams in the world in the series opener and are expected to repeat a similar kind of performance in the second game despite not being without their best players.

3. Team of the Day

The Team of the Day is India. They are the higher-ranked team and played like one in the first face-off between these teams earlier in the series.

4. Powerplay and Average Score (10 overs)

 powerplay-score 

Zimbabwe scored 31/3 in the first 10 overs in the opening ODI. By contrast, India scored 43/0. So expecting a similar show with India scoring more than 40 in the first powerplay and Zimbabwe scoring fewer runs than that. Meanwhile, the average score batting first at this venue was 283 in the last 3 ODIs played here before the series opener. If India bat first, they can breach that total. However, if Zimbabwe bat first, they will struggle to score those many runs against an Indian bowling attack.
