India's experiments with the opening partnership — skipper Sourav Ganguly dropping down the order to let Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag pair up at the top — has proved fruitful.

But it hasn't covered up the weaknesses of the middle-order, where Ganguly, an experienced Rahul Dravid and the young trio of Dinesh Mongia, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif have been woefully out of form.

The middle order has lacked consistency and the situation was salvaged only through Dravid's defiant 43 not out against Zimbabwe in Harare on Wednesday.

"We're still only up to 80 percent of our game," said Ganguly ahead of the match against Namibia that should not be a major hurdle.

"I have followed Namibia's matches and we should beat them comfortably."

Intermittent showers over the past two days have raised the prospect of rain intervening in the match, but Ganguly's team is more concerned with the form of its middle-order.

Continuing its poor batting form of two months, India tumbled to a nine-wicket defeat against Australia on Saturday after being bowled out for 125 — its lowest-ever World Cup score.

India, which lost one-day series to the West Indies at home and New Zealand away, began the World Cup with an 82-run win over minnow the Netherlands after managing to score just 204 runs.

Two half centuries by star batsman Tendulkar and pace bowler Javagal Srinath's lively bowling have been the redeeming features for former champion India.

After a string of low scores and injury problems before the World Cup, Tendulkar was in sparkling form against Zimbabwe as he scored 81 and led the opening stand of 99 with Sehwag, who contributed 36.

The 83-run victory over Zimbabwe has revived India's flagging spirits. The match against Namibia leads the way to two crucial preliminary league matches against England and Pakistan next week.

But Namibia, playing in its maiden World Cup, won't roll over after putting up a good fight during its 55-run loss to three-time World Cup finalist England on Wednesday.

Opener Jan-Berry Burger's strokeful 85 and veteran seam bowler Rudi van Vuuren's five-wicket haul were the feature of Namibia's match against England.

It was a warning that Namibia is no pushover. Having made the World Cup through the qualifying ICC Trophy for nations that do not play one-day internationals, Namibia is savoring the experience irrespective of the quality of opposition.

"This is part of our education in the big league," says Namibian skipper Deon Kotze. "But we're determined to fare well."
