AUS vs ZIM Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Australia and Zimbabwe?

Australia will take on Zimbabwe in a three-match ODI series starting on August 28. The series will be part of the ICC Men’s World Cup Super League. This will be a historic moment for the Zimbabwe side who haven’t toured Australia for more than 18 years, and they will look to come up with an inspiring performance. The visitors will be led by Regis Chakabva, with Sikandar Raza being the man in form for the side.

On the other hand, hosts Australia are coming off a series defeat against Sri Lanka recently and have named a strong squad for the upcoming home series against Zimbabwe. Pat Cummins has been rested for the series while all-rounders Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green will step up with the ball in his absence.

AUS vs ZIM Pitch Report

The Riverway Pitch in Queensland has hosted just two ODIs so far and both games have panned out in the favour of the team batting second. Chasing will be a better option at the venue and hence, the skipper winning the toss will be looking to bowl first at the wicket.

AUS vs ZIM Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match:

Steve Smith

Steve Smith has got the ability to maneuver the gaps and he will be key to the Australian success at number three in the ODI format. He scored a half-century in the two innings he played in Sri Lanka but hasn’t been in his prime form yet. This will be a good chance for him to regain his old form against the inexperienced Zimbabwe bowling attack.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa has been among the best wrist spinners going around at the moment and he can change the game on its head with his skillsets. The leggie missed the Sri Lanka series and he will be itching to be back in the Australian colours. The 30-year-old has taken 103 wickets in 67 ODIs so far and can dominate the middle phase of the game by varying his speeds.
