ZIM vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1st, Zimbabwe vs Australia ODI Series 2026
Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 1st ODI of the Zimbabwe vs Australia ODI series 2026 between ZIM vs AUS to be played in Harare.
Australia are on tour of Zimbabwe for three ODIs. These three matches will be played in Harare. The first game will start on Tuesday at 1 PM IST at Harare Sports Club. Captain Richard Ngarava is not available due to injury.
Hence, Sikandar Raza will lead Zimbabwe in this series. Veteran Graeme Cremer has returned to address the pace department’s needs. Without Ngarava, Zimbabwe need support from their other bowlers.
Mitchell Marsh will lead the visitors. Marnus Labuschagne has been dropped after strings of low scores, while Joel Davies has been given a chance to get some exposure. Australia have an inexperienced middle order, but they have a strong top order, which can be dangerous for the hosts.
