TossAustralia chose to bowl vs Zimbabwe
Australia have recalled left-arm spinner Ashton Agar in place of the injured Mitchell Marsh and Zimbabwe have been able to bring back the experienced Sean Williams after he missed the opening game in Townsville.
Cameron Green has been elevated from No. 8 to No. 6 in Marsh’s absence.
Williams suffered a blow to the elbow the day before the first match but has recovered to add to depth to Zimbabwe’s batting and bowling. He comes in for seamer Victor Nyauchi as Zimbabwe also bolster their spin department.
They will again need to set a target after Aaron Finch took the opportunity to exploit any early moisture.
