First ODI of three-match series between India & Zimbabwe underway in Harare

Zimbabwe are three wickets down against India in the ongoing first One day international in Harare.

Deepak Chahar struck twice in as many overs Zimbabwe lose the wickets of both their openers inside the first 10 overs.

Innocent Kaia and Tadiwanashe Marumani rode on their luck before Chahar got the ball rolling for India.

Mohammed Siraj then dismissed Sean Williams to put Zimbabwe on the backfoot. India's designated captain for the series, KL Rahul is back in action after a long layoff, which included a surgery for sports hernia, and a positive COVID-19 test.

India are without some of their big names, who all have been rested ahead of the Asia Cup which starts in 10 days time in the UAE.
