The Indian team, led by Ajinkya Rahane, would be eyeing for a clean sweep of the ongoing series when they lock horns with Zimbabwe in the final ODI of the three-match series in Harare on Tuesday.

Having won the first two matches, the side could try some of the bench strength that has still not been put to the test.

Meanwhile, the hosts would be looking to improve their performance and win the last ODI, so as to get momentum for the two T20 internationals series.

India registered a narrow four-run victory over the hosts in the first ODI and won by 62 runs in the second.

Meanwhile, the hero of the first ODI, Ambati Rayadu, has been ruled out of the remainder of India's tour due to injury and will be replaced by Sanju Samson.
