    "editor1": "<p>After a 10-wicket defeat in the 1st ODI, Zimbabwe bowlers put up a fight against Indian batters in the 2nd ODI. However, with such a low score to chase, team India managed to score 167\/5 in 25.4 overs and win the match by 5 wickets in the 2nd ODI, and build an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series with the last ODI to be played on Monday (August 22nd).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing 162, India got off to a jittery start as Indian captain KL Rahul, who came out to open with Shikhar Dhawan, fell in the 2nd over after scoring just 1 run in 5 balls. Shikhar (33) was next to be dismissed as he was sent back to the pavilion in the 7th over by Tanaka Chivanga.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ishan Kishan (6) was dismissed in the 12th over while Shubman Gill was caught out in the 14th over. However, despite the regular wickets, India maintained a run rate of above 6 and with a 56 run partnership between Deepak Hooda (25) and Sanju Samson (43*) for the 5th wicket, India inched to victory with 24.2 overs remaining.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For Zimbabwe, Luke Jongwe grabbed two wickets in the form of Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan. While Tanaka Chivanga, Victor Nyauchi and Sikandar Raza grabbed 1 wicket each.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Team India Seal The Series!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ZIMvIND?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ZIMvIND<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IndianCricket?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IndianCricket<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TeamIndia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TeamIndia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SanjuSamson?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SanjuSamson<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Eu2m9mqrGl\">pic.twitter.com\/Eu2m9mqrGl<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; CRICKETNMORE (@cricketnmore) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketnmore\/status\/1560973707237289985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 20, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>In the first innings, In yet another overpowering bowling performance against Zimbabwe, Indian bowlers breathe fire in the 2nd ODI as they bowled out the hosts for 161\/10 in 38.1 overs.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shardul Thakur, who came in as a replacement for Deepak Chahar - the player of the match in the 1st ODI, picked up 3 wickets in the form of Innocent Kaia (16), Regis Chakabva (2) and Luke Jongwe (6).&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>All the Indian bowlers used - Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Deepak Hooda, grabbed 1 wicket each.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For Zimbabwe, Sean Williams was the top scorer with 42 runs while Ryan Burl contributed with an unbeaten 39 runs off 47 balls in the end.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Scorecard<\/a><\/p><p>Earlier, India captain KL Rahul won the toss &amp; opted to bowl first against Zimbabwe in the 2nd ODI.
