That's all from us today. We hope you enjoyed our coverage although it was another one-sided game. This is Vishal Dikshit signing off, along with Sudarshanan and Chandan. Ciao!
At the presentation, Zimbabwe Cricket are dedicating today's game to the cause of children's cancer. They're donating $500 and a Zimbabwe jersey to a six-year-old. He also gets a signed ball from Sanju Samson. First up is Regis Chakabva: We had a really good fight in the field. We've struggled to pick early wickets in the last few games and we did that today. We fell shot of runs on the board. Our execution lacked a little bit in the end, and we're looking to score more runs. The bowlers came out charging and they tried to hit their lengths.
Sanju Samson is the Player of the Match for his three catches and unbeaten 43: How much ever time you spend in the middle feels good. I took three catches but I missed a stumping too; as keepers we're used to listening to things we didn't do well. I really enjoyed keeping and contributing to the win. In this match the fast bowlers picked the length much quicker and I really enjoyed keeping.
KL Rahul: We bat deep and it's good for some of the guys to get time in the middle. We weren't nervous. It didn't work (laughs, on the changed batting order), I wanted to get some runs but it didn't happen. Hopefully in the next game. They have some quality bowlers in the attack and they bowled well to Bangladesh, I watched on the television. the bowlers did come hard, they're tall and big and strong boys. Good challenge for us as batters, but we bat deep so it wasn't a worry. We're here to play good cricket and win. It's a great turnout today, it's a weekend, and wherever we go across the world we get good support from Indian fans, so thanks to them.
2.53pm Handshakes all around on the field and in the Indian dressing room as India take the series 2-0 with one match to go. The big crowd here at the Harare Sports Club will be disappointed after another poor performance from the hosts. They took a few wickets today but their batting has been an issue for a while and another top-order collapse meant they were out for a smaller target today than in the opening ODI. India's quicks shone yet again, even without Deepak Chahar, and KL Rahul decided to open today to get some game time but he lasted just five balls. He'll be eager to get some more balls and runs under his belt, like Chahar did with the ball in the series opener. Dhawan, Gill, Hooda and Samson then finished things off, but Kishan will know his stock has been falling for a while now.
Navneet : "Mystery of Chahar should be solved in post match chat."
Aditya: "Samson finishes it off in style! A magnificent strike into the crowd! India win in Zimbabwe after 6 years, and the party starts in the dressing room!"
One to win at the halfway mark, and here's Innocent Kaia
