Zimbabwe will take on Australia in the third ODI of the three-match series on Sunday, September 20, at the Harare Sports Club. Australia hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

The hosts have been unable to pose a challenge to the visiting Aussies, but have put on respectable showings in the two matches. They will be hoping to pick up a victory in the final match, to take pride in a result they were able to salvage.

The Aussies have been on a roll, and were once again dominant with both bat and ball. Travis Head's century at the top took the reigning ODI World Champions to a score of 356 for 5, before a clinical showing with the ball saw them bundle Zimbabwe out for 272. They will be looking for a victory which could see them seal a whitewash.

Harare Sports Club: Pitch Report

The pitch at the Harare Sports Club is expected to be of a balanced nature, but is expected to slow down as the game progresses. Batting first would be ideal on this surface as the ball would come on nicely in the morning hours, before the heat sets in and dries out the surface. Bowlers could get variable bounce and grip from the dry surface.

ZIM vs AUS: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Cooper Connolly

Despite Matt Renshaw and Travis Head scoring centuries in the first and second ODI, Cooper Connolly has been the Australian side's most consistent batter, scoring 129 runs at a strike rate of 112.17. The southpaw followed up his brilliant 51 in the first game with a sublime 78 in the second match, and will be looking to record a big score in the final ODI.

Probable Best Bowler: Nathan Ellis

Seam bowler Nathan Ellis has been the standout performer for the Australian side with the ball, taking six wickets in two games. He followed up his five-wicket haul from the first match with just a solitary wicket, but will be looking to put up a better showing in the final match of the series.
