Batting has been India's strength in the tri-series one-day tournament in Zimbabwe. They posted 285 in the first match and chased down 242 with consummate ease in the second tie with 6.3 overs to spare.

However, the form of his openers remains a cause of concern for skipper Suresh Raina.

Forget about replicating the heroics of regular openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir; Murali Vijay and Dinesh Karthik haven't been able to give a decent start so far in the two matches.

Hence, all eyes will be on the two when India look to avenge the humiliation of their opening game's loss against Zimbabwe.

At the halfway stage, all three teams have one win and a defeat against their names and India will go all out for a win today at the Harare Sports Club to consolidate their chances of reaching the final.
