Australia will take on Zimbabwe in the third and final ODI on September 3 at the Tony Ireland Stadium in Townsville. Having sealed the series 2-0 already, the Men in Yellow will be looking to test their bench strength and provide opportunities to the fringe players. They recently named the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2022 and skipper Aaron Finch will be eyeing a big score under his belt.  

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, have found in tough to cope up against the quality Australian side and haven’t been able to impose any threats to the hosts. Sean Williams with his experience will have to step up while the in-form batter Sikandar Raza needs to get his act together.

AUS vs ZIM, Probable Top Performers 

Probable best batter of the match: 

Steve Smith: 

Steve Smith had a decent outing in the second ODI. His unbeaten 47 off 41 balls comprised of eight fours and a six. The right-hander wasn’t afraid to play his shots and looked solid in his approach. He will be looking to end the series on a high with the T20 World Cup coming up next month.  

Probable best bowler of the match: 

Josh Hazlewood: 

Josh Hazlewood surprisingly, hasn’t troubled the Zimbabwe batters although he has been quite economical throughout the two games. The right-arm seamer gets extra bounce with his height and can hit the good lengths consistently. With the quality he has got, Hazlewood will be expected to be in the wickets column in the upcoming fixture.
