India cantered to a 67-run win over Zimbabwe in the first of three one-day cricket internationals after setting the tourists a demanding target of 250 for victory. Replying to India's 249 for seven, Zimbabwe lost in-form opener Andrew Flower early on and folded to 182 all out in 46.2 overs.
India's Vinod Kambli won the match-of-the-match award for his dashing innings of 80. He spent only 74 balls at the crease before he went down the wicket, missed a slower ball from David Brain and was bowled.
The aggressive Manoj Prabhakar, India's strike bowler whose move up the batting order seems to have solved his side's opening problems, and the more cautious Navjot Sidhu had earlier put on 114 in 25 overs.
Both made 56, opening the way again for Kambli, scorer of consecutive test double centuries against England and Zimbabwe, only the third player in history to achieve the feat.
The 21 year-old from Bombay savaged the Zimbabwe attack, hitting eight fours and clouting left-arm spinner Grant Flower for one six over long-off. Quickie Jawagal Srinath then picked up three for 38 as the Zimbabwean batting failed to recover from a poor start.
Andy Flower, who scored a century in the
one-off test earlier this week, went for nine,
bowled by a late swinger by Manoj Prabhakar with the score on 20 and, although his brother Grant top-scored with 42, only four other Zimbabwe batsmen reached double figures.
They included tailender David Brain, who hit 27 in a last-wicket flurry of aggression with two fours and two sixes.
