Australia are favourites to win
Australia and Zimbabwe play their second of three ODIs on Wednesday. The home side won the opening game by five wickets. After Zimbabwe posted 200 all out from 47.3 overs, Australia got home with 16.3 overs remaining. Read on as we preview this second ODI. This match gets underway at the Riverway Stadium. Townsville at 09:40 local time.
Australia are back in winning mode in this format and looking to build up a bank of positive results in the run up to the T20 World Cup. They will be overwhelming favourites to win this game.
Zimbabwe can certainly point to positives in Sunday’s defeat but it will take a real leap for them to genuinely challenge in this match.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Fox Sports and Channel 7 in Australia with SuperSport TV showing the game in Zimbabwe.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the FanCode App
Australia won the toss and chose to field first in the opening game of the series and we predict that both teams will want to bowl first ahead of this match.
There was plenty of turn for the spinners on this wicket on Sunday and Cameron Green showed there is also something for the pace bowlers if you are willing to bang the ball in hard.
Partly cloudy from the first ball to the last in Townsville with the temperature at a very pleasant 25 degrees.

After picking their best possible XI for the opening game, Australia’s management will have been pleased with the win but will surely feel they should have won the match by a larger margin. We expect the same side to be selected for this second ODI.
Australia have won their last two ODIs by margins of five wickets against Zimbabwe and four wickets by Sri Lanka.

After pushing India very close in their final ODI in Harare, Zimbabwe made only two changes to their side for Sunday’s first game of the series. Opener Takudzwanashe Kaitano and experienced left-hander Sean Williams were replaced by the youthful pair of Tadiwanashe Marumani and Wesley Madhevere.
Zimbabwe have now lost their last five ODIs with defeats against Australia, India and Bangladesh across the run of losses.

Although the opening game of the series saw a slightly more competitive game than expected, the bookies still have Australia as the huge favourites ahead of the second ODI.

The young Zimbabwean batters produced the best performances on Sunday and it will be very interesting to see if they can replicate in this game. There is plenty more to come from the Australians in this game.
David Warner, Aaron Finch and Steve Smith are our recommendations with the bat for Australia. Finch has scored 17 ODI centuries.
Our batting tips are Sikandar Raza, Wesley Madhevere and Regis Chakabva for Zimbabwe. Chakabva hit 31 from 33 balls in the opening game of the series.
Our picks with the ball are Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa and Cameron Green for Australia. Green took the Player of The Match Award after recording figures of 5-33 on Sunday.
Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl and Luke Jongwe are our bowling choices for Zimbabwe. Burl took 3-60 in the first ODI and dismissed Alex Carey, Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Marsh.
Zimbabwe were very much in the opening ODI when they reached 87-1 halfway through the 21st over but they were unable to kick on and post a truly competitive total. The visitors are regularly getting into these type of positions but rarely are able to turn them into wins against the top teams. We are predicting another win for Australia
