Murali Vijay is the Man of the Match for his 95-ball 72.
Rahane: 'We were looking at 280-290, we got close to that. Like I said, we needed to bat well as a unit. The wicket was a lot easier in the first innings, but got much more slower in the second innings. So, it became easier for us as we have experienced spinners. The bowlers were really up to the mark and fielding is something where we give our 100%. Overall a good performance and I am happy for the boys.'
Chigumbura: 'Losing three wickets in the first 11 overs was not good. We lost the game there. Something we have to work on in the next game. It was a much better wicket compared to the first game. I thought it was a chaseable score. Every game is important for us and hopefully we can play well on Tuesday.'
He had a good share of luck, dropped twice, but was eventually castled by the impressive Axar Patel, for 20. A mix-up cost Chibhabha his wicket, for 70 and the rest of the chase petered out. There were several positives for India. Bhuvneshwar was his tidy stuff while the spin twins - Harbhajan Singh and Axar Patel - showed exemplary control and guile during their spells. The hosts eventually ended at 209, losing by 62 runs. This was India's 447th ODI win, putting them on par with Pakistan - and only behind Australia.
A straightforward victory for the Indians and they have won the series 2-0 with a match in hand. Zimbabwe never got going in the chase, losing Vusi Sibanda, Hamilton Masakadza and Elton Chigumbura in quick succession. The back was well and truly broken. The other opener Chamu Chibhabha showed some resistance. Treating the bowling on merit, he pounced on anything loose from the Indian bowlers - which were very few during the entire length of the match. The hosts were further hamstrung by the injury to Sean Williams. The southpaw - who left the field midway through India's batting, never looked in any sort of comfort - during his entire stay in the middle.
