Once again Zimbabwe won the toss and sent the visitors in to bat but, this time, the openers played to their potentials and put on a century partnership before being separated. Murali Vijay put on 72 runs while skipper Ajinkya Rahane added 63 runs. The Indians put up a score of 271 for 8 in the allotted 50 overs.
The Indian bowlers maintained their stranglehold on the opposition throughout and Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4 for 33 in 10 overs. Others chipped in with their contributions. Dhawal Kulkarni (1/39 in 9 overs) provided initial breakthroughs while spinners Harbhajan Singh (1/29 in 10 overs) and Axar Patel (1/40 in 10 overs) succeeded in keeping the home team a tight leash.
For Zimbabwe, Chamu Chibhabha (72, 100 balls) was the top-scorer.
