Meanwhile, Hooda picked up a wicket and scored 25 with the bat as India chased down the 162-run target with just a little less than half their overs remaining in the second ODI against Zimbabwe. This was the seventh consecutive time that India bowled Zimbabwe out.

Sanju Samson top-scored with an unbeaten 43, while Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill also scored 33 runs apiece.
