Match State: Match start scheduled for 9 am local time (3.30 am GMT)
Good Morning from Kozhi in the green state of Kerala, India
Kozhi is a major port on the Arabian Sea, west-central Kerala
state, southwestern India
Welcome to LIVE text commentary from CricInfo.com
This is the 3rd ODI between India & Zimbabwe in this 5 match series
http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/INXX0032.html - to know about the
weather in Kozhi!
The series is level at present 1-1
One can say that the Indians have dominated this series so far
They almost won the first match at Faridabad when they picked up 9
wickets, but then they were 'Marillier'ed out of the game
Indians came back strongly and won the day and night encounter at
Mohali
This match should be an enthralling contest to take the lead in the
series
One bad news for Zimbabwe is that Andy Flower would be out of this
match due to a hip injury
This would be a major blow to their batting order
This Kozhi ground has hosted 2 ODIs before this and India has won
both the games, one against Australia and one against South Africa
Both those matches have been high scoring games - infact, India
chased a total of more than 300 against South Africa
India defended a score of more than 300 in the first match here
against Australia - that was the match when the batting maestro
excelled with the ball picking 5 wickets for 32 runs
The pitch here today is nothing different from the previous
occasions and we can expect another high scoring game
Not a very good news for the bowlers - a batsman's paradise

2 changes in the Zimbabwean side - Mbangwa and Hondo coming in for
Brent and Andy Flower
70,000 is the capacity of this stadium - its more than half full

strike
0.1 Streak to Mongia, no run, gets the first ball on good line and
length, Mongia goes back and defends it down cautiously

off his pads to deep backward square leg and gets the scoreboard
moving

foot. Mongia carefully goes back and defends it down to the off
side

line, no width on either side, Mongia goes back and across and
defends it back towards the bowler
0.5 Streak to Mongia, legbye: one run, on leg stump line, Mongia throws
his bat at it, misses, the ball brushes the pads and rolls behind
square leg, they scamper through for a leg bye
0.6 Streak to Ganguly, one run, just outside the off stump, watchfully
guides it behind point and gets just the single as the third man
fielder runs in and fields the ball, Ganguly doesnt seem to run
without any problems, a bit of limping seen as he jogs across to
the other end
End of over 1 (4 runs) India 4/0 (RR: 4.00)

One correction in this LIVE commentary .. The venue of this match
was spelt Kozhi.. Sorry for the mistake . it is 'Kochi'
4.1 Streak to Laxman, wide: no run, bad line, wayward down the leg
side, testing little Taibu, he dives to his left and takes it very
well

taps it towards point, Laxman wanted the quick single, Ganguly
wasnt even looking

further away, fuller in length, very close call, but called a
wide, hope they stay consistent
4.2 Streak to Laxman, no run, leans forward and punches it towards

saying NO to all singles

towards long leg for the single, this time Ganguly responds!
4.4 Streak to Ganguly, no run, on target, Ganguly gets a bit forward

business with that ball, but he unnecessarily tries to reach to it
and only manages to get the faintest nicks to the bubbling Taibu
who takes a pretty simple catch and more troubles for India!

Thats the end of the India innings - scoring a paltry 191!
Indians never seemed to post a high score here today
The only thing that went their way this morning was the toss
They started very badly with their skipper limping and not even
able to take easy singles
Mongia was lost early and no one contributed much except for Kaif's
56
Mongia, Ganguly, Laxman and Dravid - all four made good
contribution's in the last match , but failed this time and this
had a telling effect on the Indian poor score
Match State: Innings Break
For Zimbabwe Douglas Hondo bowled very well and picked up 4 wicket
for 37 runs
Mbangwa too did a great job by picking up 1 for 31 off his 10 overs
Marillier and Grant Flower had 2 wickets each
Can India defend this 191?
Remember, Indians don't have Anil Kumble today

Zimbabwe win the match by 6 wickets comfortably
Zimbabwe win this match by 6 wickets and go 2-1 ahead in the 5
match series
Indians will be under a lot of pressure now and they will have to
win both the remaining games to win this series
Once the Indians made just 191, Zimbabwe always were favourites to
win the match - dismal show by the India batsmen
And they have done it without any panic - Campbell and Flower were
the main pillars of that innings
Campbell made his 3rd successive half century - 71 today and Grant
Flower made a good 49
The Indians managed to dismiss them both, but the Zimbabweans
reached the target easily even then
The Indian spinners - the 2 singhs were a bit disappointing today -
Only Agarkar was impressive with his 2 for 28 in his 10 overs
Get back to us for the next ODI at Hyderabad on saturday - March
16, 2002 - Its a day and match and it will start at 0830 hrs. GMT
(1400 hrs. IST)
