Zimbabwe made two changes and Australia made two as the home side seeks its first ODI win over the visitors in the series.
- On Sunday, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss in Harare, electing to bat first against Australia in the third and final one-day international match.
- Australia enters the match leading the series 2-0 after securing 59-run and 84-run victories in the opening two games while Zimbabwe failed to chase targets.
- Both teams made personnel changes; Graeme Cremer returned to ODIs after eight years replacing Wellington Masakadza, while Australia recalled Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson after Billy Stanlake suffered a side strain.
- Raza cited the decision to bat first as a tactical shift aimed at avoiding the difficulties of chasing targets against the older ball that hampered Zimbabwe in previous matches.
- Seeking to complete a clean sweep, Australia faces Zimbabwe in the series finale, which concludes the three-game tour hosted in Harare and determines the overall victor.
