In spite of resting a few big names, India still went into the series against Zimbabwe as favourites. And, if the first ODI at Harare is anything to go by, the Zimbabweans will be in for a tough time for the rest of the games as well.

An India-Zimbabwe series doesn't elicit a lot of excitement considering the low-profile nature of the hosts, and the fact that Zimbabwe are not the same team they were a couple of decades ago.

Afghanistan gave further proof of the strides they have made in international cricket in a relatively short duration, by knocking out Zimbabwe in the qualification round at Jamtha, Nagpur

Wellington Masakadza ended with superb figures of 4 for 28, as Zimbabwe defended 148 against Scotland, in the Group B encounter at Jamtha, Nagpur on Thursday

Zimbabwe met with unexpectedly strong resistance from Hong Kong, in the 2016 World T20 opener at Nagpur, in a Group B encounter. But, they brought in their experience into play to clinch the match by 14 runs

For the second game in a row, Zimbabwe came up with an impressive all-round performance, to defeat Bangladesh in the fourth T20 at Khulna by 18 runs, and square the series 2-2

Going into the third T20, Zimbabwe knew they had to win the match to stay alive in the series. Bangladesh had the advantage, having won the first two matches rather convincingly

There was a time when Bangladesh were the one team that Zimbabwe could beat consistently. Those days are certainly history now. Bangladesh have held the upper hand over the more experienced minnows for a couple of years now.

Afghanistan hold their nerves to defend 187 by a margin of 5 runs in Sharjah and take 1-0 lead in the two match T20 series.
