Zimbabwe would want to carry his momentum on into the rest of the match and hope that he can take Zimbabwe over the line from there.

Earlier, Zimbabwe had won the toss and elected to field first. India were struggling at one point of time at 87 for five, but went on to make 255 for six after a magnificent century by Ambati Rayudu and a fighting half-century by Stuart Binny. Zimbabwe too got off to a bad start but now will have to recover, if they are to reach the target.
