TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
Travis Head, who is leading the team in the absence of Mitchell Marsh, would be happy with the 67-run win against Ireland. It was a much-needed win for the team after they had lost badly in Pakistan a couple of weeks back. Apart from a few hiccups with the bat, it was a good show from the team. Head would look to lead from the front and take his team to another win.
Travis Head missed out in the last game and will look to deliver a strong start alongside Josh Inglis, who played an entertaining knock. The middle order lost quick wickets in the last game, and the team expects runs from Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, and Glenn Maxwell. Marcus Stoinis' 45 runs off 29 balls helped in the team's victory, and he will look to add runs in the death overs with Cooper Connolly and Xavier Bartlett.
Xavier Bartlett and Matthew Kuhnemann struggled in the last game, and the team expects the pair to deliver early breakthroughs. Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa picked 4 wickets each, and they will look to carry that confidence forward and do well in the middle overs. The team expects strong performances from Cooper Connolly and Glenn Maxwell in the supporting roles.
Interesting Stats
- Travis Head has scored at a strike rate of 197.5 in the last 12 months
- Australia has won the last four games the team has played at this ground
AUS Over/Under Betting Tips
Travis Head Total Runs Over 29.5 @ 1.82 (4rabet)
Travis Head has scored at an average of 49.37 in the last 12 months, making him the most destructive opener in the world.
AUS Over/Under Betting Tips
Nathan Ellis Top Bowler for Australia @ 3.65
Nathan Ellis on his comeback from injury bowled a superb spell picking up four wickets against Ireland conceding juts 12 runs and also bowled a maiden over. He has been the best bowler for Australia in the last 12 months and has picked up 22 wickets in the last 13 matches and has been the top bowler in five of those.
Josh Inglis Total Runs Over 23.5 @ 1.85
Inglis scored a quick fire knock of 37 runs in 17 balls in the last match against Ireland. He is in good form and scored over 25 runs in three of the last five matches. Expect Inglis to carry his good run of form on a good hard track at RPS, Colombo and we back Inglis to score over 23 runs in today's match against Zimbabwe.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Travis Head (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Cooper Connolly, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Adam Zampa

Zimbabwe Preview
Sikandar Raza and his team have started the tournament on a promising note. They defeated Oman by 8 wickets in a one-sided game. However, Raza would know that this win will matter little as they face the strongest team in the group in the upcoming game. They have struggled against higher-ranked teams in the last 12 months, and the Zimbabwean skipper would like his team to punch above its weight in this game.
Brian Bennett's 48 off 36 balls set up the team's win against Oman, and as the team's in-form player, he will look to deliver a strong start with Tadiwanashe Marumani. The middle order has a tough task at hand, and the team needs runs from Dion Myers, Brendan Taylor, and Sikandar Raza. Ryan Burl has done well in the finishers' role in the last few games and must add quick runs with Tashinga Musekiwa.
Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani shared 6 wickets between them in the last game, and the team expects early wickets from the pair to dent Australia's strong batting lineup. Brad Evans and Sikandar Raza have an important role in the middle overs, and the team expects tight spells from them. The team needs tight bowling from Brian Bennett and Wellington Masakadza in the supporting roles.
Interesting Stats
- Brad Evans has picked 33 wickets in the last 12 months @14.3
- Zimbabwe has lost the last six out of seven games against higher-ranked teams
ZIM Over/Under Betting Tips
Brian Bennett Total Runs Over 17.5 @ 1.82 (4rabet)
Brian Bennett has been the leading run scorer for Zimbabwe in the last 12 months, with 984 runs at an average of 39.36
ZIM Over/Under Betting Tips
Sikandar Raza Total Wickets Over 1.5 4.00
Zimbabwe’s talisman, Sikandar Raza, is enjoying a golden run with the ball. He started the tournament with a bang, picking up a wicket while conceding only 17 runs. Raza is a highly consistent and economical bowler who manages to take a wicket in almost every match. On a track offering a bit of turn—and against an Australian side looking to play aggressively—Raza will likely fancy his chances of making an impact. We predict he will take more than one wicket in today’s match.
Brendan Taylor Total Runs Over 15.5 @ 1.85
Taylor on his comeback to World Cup scored a gritty knock of 31 runs in 30 balls, where he held Zimbabwe's innings from one end. In the only T20I that Taylor has played against Australia he scored 60* runs and he was the one who scored the winning runs in the 2007 upset win over Australia. After two decades he has a chance to once again replicate that and we back him to make an impact and score over 15 runs in today's match.
Brian Bennett Total Runs Over 18.5 @ 1.85
Brian Bennett announced himself onto the big stage with a bang, where he scored a match winning knock of 48 runs in 36 balls, smashing 7 fours against Oman. He is averaging 32 at R Premadasa Stadium in T20's and is a pretty good player of spin and pace and in the last five matches he has scored over 20 runs on four occasions.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing XI:
Sikandar Raza (c), Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Dion Myers, Brendan Taylor (wk), Ryan Burl, Tashinga Musekiwa, Brad Evans, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani

High Turn
R. Premadasa Stadium has a flat surface and a fast outfield, which has made it a wonderful venue for the batsmen. Fast bowlers must rely on their variations, as there isn't much on this track. Spinners have enjoyed a good record in the past as they get the ball to turn sharply and stop on the batsmen. The average first innings score at the venue is around 172 runs, and the team batting first must target 190.

We back Australia to win the coin toss in today's match against Zimbabwe.
Toss: To Bowl
Toss is crucial at the Premadasa, as the team that bats second has won the last 8 of 10 games. The wicket gets slower in the second innings, where the ball turns sharply. The team winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first in this game.
AUS vs ZIM
Winning Prediction
Zimbabwe won the last game, but it was against the weakest team in the group. Their batting lineup will face one of the strongest bowling attacks in this game. They need a strong start from the top order to win this game. The Australians have an explosive batting lineup and a strong spin attack. Going by the strengths of the two teams, the Aussies will start as the favorites.
