Preview
India have continued their dominant run in white-ball cricket as they thrashed Zimbabwe in the first ODI by ten wickets. The Men in Blue were all over Zimbabwe players, be it batting or bowling. First, India bundled Zimbabwe for a mere 189 and then chased it down with more than 20 overs to spare. Now, the KL Rahul-led team will have their eyes set on gaining an unassailable lead when they face Zimbabwe in the second ODI at the same venue on Saturday.

Analysis
There were some really good performances from the Indian players in the first ODI and it seems it’s going to remain the same in the second ODI as well. While Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan starred with the bat in hand, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Axar Patel were phenomenal with the ball in hand. So, including all or most of these players in the fantasy team can fetch valuable points.
From the Zimbabwe camp, Brad Evans was impressive at the bottom of the order. He looked fluent with his shots. Meanwhile, with the ball, Victor Nyuachi was potent to an extent as he troubled Dhawan and Gill with the new ball. So, these two can also be included. Sikandar Raza remains an automatic selection.
