Prediction
Zimbabwe might have scored an impressive T20I and ODI series win over Bangladesh recently at the Harare Sports Club, but India is a different fish. Zimbabwe will have to work hard to overcome the depth and skill level in this Indian side. For that reason, we will pick India as the winner in this ODI series.
