Andrew’s children, Will and Chloe, were a part of the pre-match ceremony, as they walked into the ground with Aaron Finch and Steven Smith at the start of play. They both stood alongside the Australian Cricket team for the national anthem. A moment of silence was also observed for the late Andrew Symonds.

The outfield of the Riverway Stadium depicted ‘Roy 388’ in the first AUS vs ZIM ODI. As a tribute to Symonds, his nickname ‘Roy’ was painted on the outfield with the number ‘388’ which was his Test cap number. During the innings break, Symonds’ family entered the ground along with the deceased cricketer’s close belongings and laid them onto the pitch. Symonds’ baggy green, his bat, Akubra hat, a fishing rod and a crab pot were some of his dear belongings which were brought into the pitch.
