Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and elected to bat for the first time in the series against Australia in the third and final cricket one-day international on Sunday.
Australia is favorite to complete a clean sweep after beating the home team by 59 runs in the opening match and followed it up with an 84-run victory in the second game on Friday.
Raza said at the toss it was a chance to try a different approach in the series after Zimbabwe failed to chase down targets in the previous two games because it was tough to bat against the older ball.
Australia made two changes with Xavier Bartlett returning to the side in place of the rested Josh Hazlewood. Spencer Johnson replaced Billy Stanlake after the seamer left the field in the second game due to side strain while bowling his fifth over.
