Earlier, Zimbabwe's stand-in skipper Nomvelo Sibanda won the toss and elected to bat first at the Vadodara International Cricket Stadium in Kotambi.
Zimbabwe's regular skipper Josephine Nkomo has sustained a niggle injury and will not participate in the match.
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe's stand-in skipper Sibanda said, "We want to put runs on the board, put scoreboard pressure. We want our batters to dominate. Our regular captain Nkomo is out with a niggle. We want to carry on from the positives into this series as well".
On the other hand, Team India's captain <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/smriti-mandhana-eyes-continued-dominance-as-india-prepare-for-zimbabwe-odi-series-23656324" rel="nofollow">Smriti Mandhana</a> said, "We were looking to bat first as well, overhead conditions are good to bat, but it's a good thing we will know what to chase. We have a debut: Jintimani. Exciting player, she had a good India A series. And we have couple of changes from the T20I side for sure. Balancing T20Is and ODIs... this format, we all know that we've done well in the past. It will take some time for us to adapt, but everyone in the net session practiced that. We played on black soil here during the WPL, but it's back to red, which is more like the Baroda soil we know".
