India 137-1 (35 ovs) vs Zim 168 | Scorecard

The scoreboard is moving at a steady rate with not many boundaries coming and Zimbabwe's bowlers are also not creating any problems either as the match drifts towards a dull finish.

On a wicket where stroke making is not easy, India's batsmen have been content to bide their time and ready to work hard for their runs.

Part-time spinner Sikandar Raza is called into the attack as he gives away four singles with India reaching 117 for one in 30 overs.

Rayudu gets some momentum back as he pulls a short ball from Cremer over midwicket for a four, which also takes him past the 1000-run mark in ODIs.

There is not much happening in the field but the spectators have kept themselves entertained with a lot of singing and dancing in the stands.

A moment of celebration for Rayudu, who brings up his half-century from 93 balls, while Rahul is on 72 from 87 balls.

While Cremer has gone for 42 runs in eight overs, part-timer Raza has kept it tight, giving away nine runs from three overs.

India are well placed on 137 for one in 35 overs, with another 32 needed from 15 overs for victory.

The match has become quite predictable and the result looks a foregone conclusion. Both Rahul and Rayudu are keen to stay till the end and score as many runs as possible, cutting down on their stroke play in the last half an hour or so with the run rate also taking a dip.
