Australia will play Zimbabwe in 1st ODI on SundayAustralia's Last Performance
Australia's most recent ODI campaign was a five-match series against Sri Lanka in June 2022, which the Lankan Lions won 3-2.
The Australians were confident following their T20I victory on the same tour, and they also won the first game, but they were unable to maintain their momentum in the subsequent fixtures.
The home team won three consecutive ODIs to secure the championship, while the Baggy Greens pulled one back in the last consolation game.
Zimbabwe's Last performance
Zimbabwe welcomed the visiting Indian team for a three-match One-Day International series at Harare Sports Club, their best venue.
The Men in Blue defeated the Chevrons 3-0, although they put up a spectacular comeback in the series' last game.
The Red Army came dangerously close to meeting the 290-run objective because of Sikandar Raza's amazing tonne but ultimately fell short by only 13 runs.
Players to Watch
Glenn Maxwell: He was Australia's leading scorer in the Sri Lanka One-Day International series, with 160 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 140.35, the highest among batsmen who scored triple-digit runs.
The 33-year-old batting all-rounder also finished the series as their second-highest wicket-taker, with five dismissals of Lankan hitters.
Sikandar Raza: Zimbabwean cricket's brightest hope, capable of being labeled one of the top all-rounders in the world right now.
Raza was on the verge of pulling off a miracle against India in his previous international game, where he achieved his sixth ODI century.
Predicted Playing XI
Australia: Aaron Finch (C), Alex Carey (wk), David Warner, Steve Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Cameron Green, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood, Adam Zampa
Zimbabwe: Regis Chakabva (C & wk), Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Innocent Kaia, Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams, Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, Luke Jongwe, Brad Evans, Victor Nyauchi, Blessing Muzarabani
