Toss report: Australian captain Aaron Finch won the toss and chose to bowl in the first One Day International against Zimbabwe at Townsville on Sunday.
The home side go into the opening match as firm favourites against a team that hasn’t played a series in Australia since 2004.
The Australians will be looking to their impressive pace duo of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood to make early inroads on an overcast morning in the North Queensland city.
“We’ll look to make use of the first 10 overs, it will be pretty good after that,” Finch said.
Zimbabwe are without key batsman Sean Williams, who was ruled out with injury.
