Australia's T20 World Cup rocked by injuries

Australia's T20 World Cup hopes hit by significant player injuries ahead of Zimbabwe clash. Stand-in captain Travis Head leads a depleted squad.

Australia's T20 World Cup campaign faces a major hurdle as multiple key players, including captain Mitch Marsh and Tim David, are sidelined for their upcoming match against Zimbabwe. Travis Head will lead the team as stand-in captain.

Despite the absence of significant hitters, the Australian squad retains substantial firepower. However, they will need to adapt to the slow, spin-oriented pitch at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Zimbabwe's seamers are expected to exploit these conditions with cutters and deceptive bowling.

Zimbabwe has a history of causing upsets, having defeated Australia once in T20I history. Their sole T20 World Cup encounter in 2007 also saw Zimbabwe emerge victorious. Buoyed by recent success and confidence, Zimbabwe aims to create the tournament's first major surprise.
