The opening match of the three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket series between hosts Zimbabwe and India will be played at Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwean capital on Saturday.

India won the preceding One-Day International (ODI) series 3-0 against Zimbabwe. "I think the execution has been really good, and that's the key factor. The fast bowlers and the spinners have taken wickets at some point of time and put pressure on the opposition, so I am happy with the bowling performance," Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhonu said after the clean sweep.

Dhoni and his boys are now aiming to continue their winning streak against the hapless hosts in T20I series. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from their humiliating ODI series white wash by winning their first T20 game against the dominant Indian side.
