Preview
Australia and Zimbabwe will play the second ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday (August 31) at the Tony Ireland Stadium, Townsville. Australia won the first ODI by 5 wickets after chasing a target of 201 runs in 33.3 overs. Zimbabwe have had a great start with Wesley Madhevere scoring a half-century and Tadiwanashe Marumani making 45 runs off 61 deliveries. They lost the last 5 wickets for just 15 runs. They will have to bat out of their skin if they want to challenge this Australian team. Sean Williams will be back in the playing 11 which will strengthen their batting attack.
Australia, on the other hand, will be looking to deliver a similar performance to that of the first match with both bat and ball. They will be missing the services of Mitchell Marsh, who has been ruled out of the series due to ankle soreness. Marnus Labuschagne is highly likely to replace Marsh in the playing 11 and it will be a huge boost for the Australian batting unit.
