It was India’s
first One-day International for the 2002/03 season. While they made no changes
to their playing eleven, Zimbabwe made three changes to their playing eleven –
Travis Friend, Tatenda Taibu and Gary Brent made way for Guy Whittall, Sean
Ervine and One-day International debutant Ray Price.
