Preview
Zimbabwe will take on Australia in the first ODI of the three-match series on Tuesday, September 15, at the Harare Sports Club. The series will be an important opportunity for both teams to build momentum, with Zimbabwe looking to put up a strong challenge against the visitors on home soil.
Zimbabwe enter the series with mixed results in their recent ODI outings, having won two of their last five matches. They will rely on their experienced campaigners to lead the charge, while the home conditions could also work in their favour. The hosts will be keen to start the series on a positive note and make the most of Australia's relatively inexperienced squad.
Meanwhile, Australia come into the series after an inconsistent run, winning two of their last five ODIs. The visitors will look to bounce back and begin the tour strongly, with several players aiming to make an impact.
