Makhaya Ntini, interim coach of the Zimbabwe side, was critical of India's inexperienced squad selected for the series saying "if you send us a team that is not your strongest team, we're going to put them under the carpet".[5] India went on to win the ODI series 3–0, losing the fewest wickets for a team during a three-match series.[6] India also won the T20I series, two matches to one.
