Scorecard

India captain Sourav Ganguly [Images] elected to bat on a dry surface at the Harare Sports Club against New Zealand [Images] in the final of the Videocon [Get Quote] Cup tri-series in Harare on Tuesday.

India opted for Harbhajan Singh [Images] as their super sub, and with the flip of coin going their way the gamble may still pay off.

Irfan Pathan [Images] and Ashish Nehra also came back into the side in place Murali Karthik and speedster Rudra Pratap Singh.

For New Zealand, Shane Bond [Images] and Daniel Vettori [Images] will return to the side after being rested for the previous match against India on Friday.

Chris Cairns [Images] will serve as the super sub for New Zealand.

The last time India won a ODI tournament was in July 2002 when India beat England [Images] in an epic NatWest Series final chasing a victory target of 326 runs. Since then India have played in nine tournaments, reached in the final seven times, but could not win even one on their own.
