Match Details
After being put into bat first, Australia lost their skipper early as usual as he went for 5 to Richard Ngarava. David Warner was the only bright spot for the Australians as he scored 94 off 96 with 14 fours and 2 sixes to his name. But the others around him fell like a pack of cards. There was a brief partnership of 57 runs for the sixth wicket between Warner and Glenn Maxwell (19) to take the score from 5-72 to 5-129. But once Maxwell fell to Ryan Burl, Austalia collapsed to lose their last five wickets for 12 runs in no time as they were bundled out for 141in 31 overs.
A field day for Zimbabwe with the ball. Ryan Burl was the star as he had extraordinary figures of 5-10 in 3 overs. A couple of wickets for the ever-impressive Brad Evans. A wicket apiece for left-arm spinner Sean Williams, and the pacers Ngarava and Nyauchi. 9 extras was the third highest score for Australia after Warner’s 94 and Maxwell’s 19. A shoddy batting display from the hosts.
A historic win for Zimbabwe over Australia by 3 wickets. They go down fighting in the series 2-1 to the Aussies. Stick around for the post-match presentation that comes your way soon.
