AUS vs ZIM Preview

• David Warner is a strong bet to be Australia’s leading run scorer in the game on Wednesday after hitting 57 runs off 66 balls in the ODI on Sunday. Spinner Adam Zampa is a strong candidate to be Australia’s leading wicket-taker in this match after taking 3-57 in the series opener.
• Wesley Madhevere scored 72 runs in the first game, the best total ever at Riverway Stadium. He is our pick to score the most runs for Zimbabwe in the second ODI. On Sunday, Sikandar Raza grabbed 1-45 wickets with the ball, and we anticipate another spinning wicket here. Our prediction for Zimbabwe’s leading wicket-taker in this match is Raza.
• In this game, we suggest betting on David Warner to score more than 40.5 runs.

 

The second of three One-Day Internationals between Australia and Zimbabwe is on Wednesday. The initial match was won by the home team by five wickets. Australia reached its destination with 16.3 overs left after Zimbabwe declared after scoring 200 all out in 47.3 overs. The Riverway Stadium will host the start of this game. Townsville, local time 09:40.

In this format, Australia is back on top, and they want to accumulate a string of victories leading up to the T20 World Cup. They will have a huge advantage in betting for this game.

Zimbabwe may undoubtedly draw some positives from their setback on Sunday, but they will need to make a significant improvement if they want to actually pose a threat.

AUS vs ZIM Pitch Report

On Sunday, this track offered enough turn for the spinners, but Cameron Green demonstrated that pace bowlers can also succeed if they are willing to hit the ball hard.

Australia is the favourite to win this match.

 

When Zimbabwe reached 87-1 midway through the 21st over, they were still very much in the first ODI, but they were unable to continue and achieve a truly competitive total. The visitors frequently find themselves in similar situations, yet they infrequently succeed in winning games against the best clubs. We anticipate Australia to triumph once more.
