T20 World Cup: Australia won the toss and elected to bowl against Zimbabwe in their second match of the 2026 T20 World Cup at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday. Travis Head will continue to lead the side in place of Mitchell Marsh, who missed out due to injury, while Tim David is back to the playing XI.

Australia are coming into the contest after registering a dominating 67-run victory over Ireland in their opening match played at the same venue.

Despite missing their top fast bowlers, Australia managed to keep Ireland in check, with Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa taking four wickets each. The balanced bowling unit and smart batting adjustments helped them post a competitive total of 182 runs on a pitch that favoured slower bowlers and helped them start their campaign on a good note.
