Zimbabwe vs Australia 4th Match Live Score, Feb 21

Watch Australia Vs Zimbabwe Live Stream At Ahmedabad ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 Online Broadcast Pc Tv here. The fourth match of the World Cup will be played between Australia and Zimbabwe. The game will be played on February 21 at Motera in Ahmedabad and will see the Aussies try to overcome their poor form in the warm-ups to get a move on.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe had even poorer form in the practice games but they will know that they need a miracle to win games in the World Cup. Against a side which has beaten them 25 times, Zimbabwe will struggle.

Australia will need to stall their batting collapses. They had a good time back in England but in India where the tracks turn and make life that much more difficult for those coming from the hard bouncy wickets, the Zimbabwean spinners could come handy.
