“The team is ready and looking forward to our match, we know Australia are a good team but we are going to give it our best shot,” said Waller.
While the Zimbabwe team were having their last training session yesterday at Harare Sports Club, the Australians were also busy at the Country Club where they said they had a good practise session.
