Zimbabwe National Cricket Team vs Australian Men’s Cricket Team: Zimbabwe Cricket has announced a three-match One-Day International (ODI) series against Australia national cricket team to be played in September. The series will begin on Sept. 15, followed by matches on Sept. 18 and Sept. 20. All three games will be held at Harare Sports Club and are scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. local time.
This will be Australia’s first ODI tour of Zimbabwe in more than a decade. The two sides last met in the country during a tri-series in 2014 that also featured South Africa.
The series forms part of Zimbabwe’s preparations for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027, which it will co-host with South Africa and Namibia.
Zimbabwe Cricket managing director Givemore Makoni said the series would be important for the team’s development.
“We are delighted to welcome Australia back to Zimbabwe for what promises to be a competitive ODI series,” Makoni said.
“Fixtures of this calibre are vital for our growth as a team. With the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 on the horizon, this tour provides valuable preparation.”
Zimbabwe will also host India national cricket team for a T20 International series in July.
Makoni said the upcoming fixtures would also give local fans the chance to watch top-level international cricket at home.
