AUS vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 19, ICC T20 World Cup 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 19 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between AUS vs ZIM to be played in Colombo.

After losing Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood due to injury and Tim David not being available for the first few games of ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Australia suffered another blow when captain Mitchell Marsh missed the first game due to a groin injury.

In his absence, Travis Head led the team. Some reports suggest that Marsh might not be available for few more games, which is why Steve Smith has joined the team. Despite all this, Australia had a dominating win over Ireland in their opening game in Colombo.

They will now take on Zimbabwe on Friday at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Zimbabwe also had a great start, and they thrashed Oman by 8 wickets. Zimbabwe can be a tough opponent for Australia on this slow wicket, and it is a crucial game for both sides in order to qualify for the next round.

The wicket at R. Premadasa Stadium played slow in the last game. There was turn and grip for the spinners. Slower ones were sticking to the surface from the first innings.

For the batting side, the best time to score is when the ball is new and hard, as it will come onto the bat well. It will be a challenging surface to bat on, and batting second can be an advantage here.
