The Harare Sports Club pitch report for AUS vs ZIM 3rd ODI suggests a fairly balanced contest between bat and ball.

The surface for the AUS vs ZIM 3rd ODI is expected to assist fast bowlers with the new ball. Pacers can get swing and seam movement, particularly during the early stages of the innings.

As the match progresses and the moisture on the surface dries up, batting conditions are expected to improve. However, the pitch is unlikely to be completely flat, meaning batters may still need to spend some time at the crease before playing their shots freely.

Pacers have generally enjoyed more success at the venue (59.16 %). Spinners could also come into the game as the pitch gets older, especially in hot and dry conditions.

With teams bowling first having won 99 of the 195 completed-result matches at the venue, the toss could play an important role. Captains could consider bowling first to make use of the early movement for the AUS vs ZIM 3rd ODI.
