AUS vs ZIM 1st ODI: Team overview

In the one-day international series that will begin on Sunday and consist of three matches, Australia will play host to Zimbabwe. As a result of this, the kookaburras will likewise begin their summer at home. Even though they were defeated in the one-day international series 3-2, the trip to Sri Lanka allowed them to get a lot of rest.

The One-Day International (ODI) lineup will see the return of notable players such as Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Ashton Agar, and leg spinner Adam Zampa, providing extra options for the home team. On the other hand, Test captain Pat Cummins will be rested due to the need to manage his workload. Aaron Finch will carry on serving as the team’s captain. They haven’t participated in many One-Day International series over the past two years, and with the ODI World Cup coming up in just over a year, they need to get a head start on building their team.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe is participating in a bilateral series on Australian soil for the very first time in the past 19 years. They have made a striking statement that should not be taken lightly by nearly beating India in the third one-day international (ODI). Because many of their players have never been to Australia before, it will be difficult for them to compete there.

After scoring three hundred in his previous six one-day international innings, Sikandar Raza is in the best form of his life. The lineup also includes several guys with a lot of potential, such as Ryan Burl, Sean Williams, and Brad Evans.

AUS vs ZIM 1st ODI: Match winner prediction

Even though Zimbabwe has been on a losing streak recently, Australia will be mindful of the difficulty of the upcoming match and will be motivated to win in order to get their 2022–2023 international home season off to the best possible start. The match will take place in Townsville. The tourists have maintained their focus on playing 50-over cricket throughout the month of August, and this game marks their eighth One-Day International since the beginning of the month.

In light of this information, it would not be surprising at all if Zimbabwe started this match more sharply than Australia, regardless of whether they batted or bowled first, given that it might take the home team some time to get into a rhythm. However, the Australian playing personnel exude an air of sophistication, beginning with David Warner at the top of the order and continuing all the way down to Mitchell Starc with the ball in his hands. It is reasonable to anticipate that Australia will end up being significantly stronger than Zimbabwe and will win the first one-day international.
