Zimbabwe wins toss, elects to bat against Australia in third ODI
Zimbabwe made two changes and Australia made two as the home side seeks its first ODI win over the visitors in the series.
- On Sunday, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss in Harare, electing to bat first against Australia in the third and final one-day international match.
- Australia enters the match leading the series 2-0, having secured 59-run and 84-run victories in the first two games while Zimbabwe struggled to chase targets.
- Both teams made personnel changes: Graeme Cremer returned after eight years to replace Wellington Masakadza, while Australia recalled Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson for Billy Stanlake, who suffered a side strain.
- Raza explained the decision to bat first as a tactical shift, hoping to avoid the chasing difficulties against the older ball that hindered Zimbabwe in previous matches.
- Seeking to complete a clean sweep, Australia faces Zimbabwe in the final contest, which serves as the pivotal conclusion to the three-game tour in Harare.
