Zimbabwe set up a positive 140 run target and after the early loss of Naman Ojha for 10, Raina and Murali Vijay led the Indian reply, adding 79 for the second wicket as the visitors got home with seven wickets and two overs to spare. Raina scored 72 not out in only 44 balls while Vijay made 46 off 39 balls.
India coach Gary Kirsten said: "They had to play together and not in the comfort of having senior players. It was good exposure.
