Zimbabwe assistant coach Dion Ebrahim said his side has ticked all the right boxes in preparation and is comfortable being labelled the underdogs ahead of their Super 8s clash against India, adding that the key would be to not get overwhelmed by the occasion.
The middle order batsman's 159 lifted Zimbabwe Board XI to 265 for 7 on the opening day of the warm-up match against the Indians.
The Zimbabwe batsman was suspended for one Test for his comments regarding Sri Lanka off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan.
The match is being held in Perth. This is Zimbabwe's first Test in Australia.
At the close on the first day of the second Test, Sri Lanka were 18 for no wicket in reply to Zimbabwe's 228.
South Africa bowled out Zimbabwe for 265 to win the first Test by an innings and 21 runs.
