Zimbabwe are gearing up for a significant three-match ODI series against Australia national cricket team in 2026 — a matchup that promises high drama and a rare chance for the Chevrons to measure themselves against one of the world’s strongest sides.
The series marks Australia’s return to Zimbabwe for the first time in nearly a decade, their last visit in the 50-over format dating back to 2014. With matches scheduled in Harare — and potentially Bulawayo — this will be the first time in many years that the Chevrons host Australia on home soil.
For Zimbabwe, the timing could not be more important. As co-host of the forthcoming 2027 Cricket World Cup along with South Africa and Namibia, these ODIs offer vital preparation and a chance to test the squad’s mettle against world-class opposition under home conditions.
Australia arrive as heavy favourites, with a packed international schedule and momentum building towards major tournaments. But Zimbabwe will see this as a golden opportunity — to challenge themselves, to prove their worth, and to show that they can compete at a high level in the limited-overs format.
Cricket fans across the country will be watching closely. If the Chevrons can deliver even one upset, it could ignite fresh belief in Zimbabwe’s white-ball potential and lay a solid foundation for their journey to the 2027 World Cup.
