India have won the toss and opted to field first in the crucial second ODI of the three-match series against Zimbabwe here at Harare Sports Club on Monday.
As far as Playing XI is concerned, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has decided to head into the second game with the same squad that won the opening match against the African nation by nine wickets.
The hosts, however, have made one change in their Playing XI. Sean Williams has called in place of Craig Ervine.
Dhoni's young Indian brigade, who are currently leading the series 1-0, will aim to continue their momentum and seal the series.
Meanwhile, it will be a do-or-die situation for Zimbabwe, who will head into the second match desperately needing a win in order to stay alive in the series.
Earlier, India have registered back-to-back series whitewashes against Zimbabwe , first a 5-0 win in 2013 before completing a 3-0 victory in 2015.
