AUS vs ZIM Preview

• In the previous match, Australia bowled out Zimbabwe for just 96 runs.
• The main Zimbabwean players are currently out of shape and unreliable.
• Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc have thoroughly demolished the Zimbabwean hitters.

 

The Third of three One-Day Internationals between Australia and Zimbabwe is on Saturday. The Australian hosts have utterly dominated the guests so far during Zimbabwe’s trip to that country. Chakabva’s team was restricted to 96 runs in the subsequent match when Australia gave them the opportunity to bat first following a 200-10 total in the first ODI. 

Australia’s bowlers will make them happy. Australia fielded its strongest players, in contrast to the majority of other teams that rest their key players while playing against a team like Zimbabwe.

Chakabva will be counting on his team’s seasoned players to step up and perform admirably. After losing the series they don’t want to be whitewashed.

Here, the average first-inning score is incredibly low—under 200 runs. All four games played here have been won by the team batting first. After winning the toss, it makes sense to bat first.

Zimbabwe Team News & Probable Playing XIs

The two batters in this lineup who have the most impact are Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza. A middle-order aggressive batsman, Ryan Burl. However, considering the batting conditions at this location, his function would be modified for the time being. For this game, Blessing Muzarabani might reenter the starting lineup.
