Australia vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI Match Preview
Australia recovered from several middle-order setbacks to post a competitive total in the opening game. Renshaw’s maiden ODI century and Cooper Connolly’s 51 gave the innings substance before Ellis’ first ODI five-wicket haul settled the contest.
Josh Hazlewood could return for the second ODI, giving Australia another experienced pace option. Any change to the playing XI will be confirmed at the toss, so the visitors may also consider workloads with the series continuing two days later.
Zimbabwe will take confidence from Nyamhuri’s five-wicket performance and the half-centuries scored by Ervine and Raza. Their main challenge is to prevent clusters of wickets and maintain the required scoring rate deeper into the chase.
With Australia one victory away from winning the series, Zimbabwe need sharper execution with both bat and ball. Another balanced contest is possible if the hosts can build on the promising periods they produced in the opener.
Australia Lead the ODI Series 1-0
Australia won the 1st ODI by 59 runs at Harare Sports Club. The visitors scored 294/8 before dismissing Zimbabwe for 235 in 45.1 overs.
