Zimbabwe vs India 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Get to Know Who will win ZIM vs IND 1st ODI match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11 Prediction, Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage.
Sikandar Raza scored successive unbeaten hundreds in the series against Bangladesh and is our tip for Zimbabwe’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, we are backing fast medium bowler Luke Jongwe who took 2-38 in his last ODI.
Shubman Gill hit over 200 runs during the series win over West Indies and he is a strong choice for India’s highest run scorer on Thursday. Mohammed Siraj looked to have matured as a bowler in the Caribbean and he is our recommendation for India’s top wicket taker in this game.
22 year old Shubman Gill made scores of 64, 43 and 98 not-out in Port of Spain last month. We recommend backing him to score over 33.5.

ZIM vs IND 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Zimbabwe and India begin their three match ODI series at the Harare Cricket Club on Thursday morning. The hosts come into this series in high spirits after beating Bangladesh 2-1 in an IT20 and ODI series earlier this month. India beat West Indies 3-0 during late July. Read on as we preview this opening ODI. This game gets underway at 09:15 local time.
Zimbabwe proved the pundits, bookies and many of their own fans wrong by beating Bangladesh last month. They will believe that they can do something special in this series also.
India defeated West Indies in all three of their ODIs but the first two games were won by only three runs and two wickets. Although they have an inexperienced squad, many of their players would get in most other ODI sides.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team News
Regis Chakabva will captain the side during this series in the absence of Craig Ervine who is still recovering from a hamstring injury. Joining Ervine on the sidelines are Wellington Masakadza (shoulder) and quick bowlers Blessing Muzarabani and Tendai Chatara.
ZIM Key Players
Sikandar Raza - The vastly experienced batting all-rounder was in sublime form in the series against Bangladesh. He hit the most runs and took the most wickets on both sides during the series.
Regis Chakabva - The captain hit his first ODI century in his last appearance against Bangladesh. He now has two international tons after previously making 101 in a Test in 2014.
Luke Jongwe - The right arm fast medium bowler took the wickets of Anamul Haque and Hasan Mahmud in the final ODI earlier this month. He has 35 wickets in this format.
ZIM Team Form
Zimbabwe lost the final ODI in their series against Bangladesh but triumphed in the two previous games.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11
Tadiwanashe Marumani, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Innocent Kaia, Wesley Madhevere, Sikandar Raza. Regis Chakabva (c) (wk), Tony Munyonga, Luke Jongwe, Brad Evans, Victor Nyauchi, Tanaka Chivanga
KL Rahul will come back into the side as captain after missing the recent tours of England and West Indies through injury. The top order batter will be looking to prove his fitness as well as his form with an eye on the T20 World Cup in October. Washington Sundar had been selected for this tour but had to pull out with a shoulder injury.
IND Key Players
Shubman Gill - The right handed opener looked to have gone up a level during the series in West Indies. He was cruelly deprived of a century by rain in the final ODI.
KL Rahul - The ODI skipper has been in fantastic form across all formats over the past two years. Sometimes knocked for his strike-rate, he averages 46.48 in ODIs.
Mohammed Siraj - India fans can always rely on enthusiasm from Siraj but we saw accuracy and responsibility in the Caribbean. He finished with 2-14 in the final game against West Indies.
IND Team Form
India beat England 2-1 and followed up with a 3-0 win in West Indies. They are playing excellent cricket irrespective of the venue or conditions.
India have a very strong record over Zimbabwe in ODIs and have not lost to them since June 2010 when they lost back to back games. India have won the 12 subsequent matches in this format.

Zimbabwe vs India Betting Odds
In spite of their recent win over Bangladesh, the bookies do not fancy Zimbabwe’s chances in this opening ODI. India are heavy favourites.
India are without some of their best players in this series but such is their strength in depth that they will still field some high quality sides. We expect them to be dominant over Zimbabwe with bat and ball.
Sikandar Raza, Wesley Madhevere and Regis Chakabva are our picks to be the top batters for Zimbabwe. Madhevere has hit three half-centuries in this format.
We are backing KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill with the bat for India. Dhawan led the team in the West Indies and scored 97 in the opening ODI.
With the ball, Luke Jongwe, Victor Nyauchi and Brad Evans are our picks with the ball for Zimbabwe. Evans took 2-53 in his second ODI appearance just over a week ago.
Our recommendations are Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna with the ball for India. Yadav took 21 wickets in this year’s IPL and should bowl well on this surface.
After hosting associate teams for the recent T20 World Cup qualifiers and Bangladesh for the white ball series earlier this month, Zimbabwe now get to test themselves against one of the strongest cricketing nations in this game. We expect India to be too good and are backing them to win this opening ODI.
