Hosts Australia will lock horns with Zimbabwe in the second ODI of the three-match series in Townsville tomorrow at 5.10 AM IST. 

Despite their top order's heroic performance with the bat, Zimbabwe suffered a harsh five-wicket defeat in the first game, courtesy of a spectacular fifer from Cameron Green. While Australia would like to seal the series by winning tomorrow, Zimbabwe would aim to force an upset. 

Match Details

Venue: Tony Ireland Stadium, Townsville

Pitch Report: Although the surface at the venue didn't offer much movement, it had some extra bounce on it, which was exploited incredibly by Cameron Green. Like most Australian tracks, the track doesn't slow down with time. So, we expect the toss-winner to chase in the game.  

Spotlight: Cameron Green

Australia captain Aaron Finch had earlier clarified that the hosts would use Cameron Green as a strike bowler in the series. The promising all-rounder from Western Australia lived up to his expectations as his match-winning fifer helped Australia reduce the visitors to a paltry total of 200 runs.

Green found some extra bounce off the surface and used it to perfection. Scoring against him proved to be a daunting task for the Zimbabwean middle-order as the visitors crumbled from 122 for four to 200 all out. Considering the difficulty the visitors faced against Green, we expect the tall seamer to put up another match-winning show tomorrow.

• Wesley Madhevere emerged as Zimbabwe's best batter in the last  game, amassing a well-compiled 91-ball 72.
