David Warner played a lone hand worth 94 as the rest of the Australian batting managed only 47 runs in the third and final ODI against Zimbabwe. Ryan Burl (5 for 10) and Regis Chakabva (37* off 72 balls) were the chief architects of the epoch-making victory, as Zimbabwe pulled one back after losing the first two games. It was Zimbabwe’s maiden ODI triumph against Australia Down Under and only their third win in the 50-over format versus their almighty opponent.
Brief scores: Australia 141 in 31 overs (David Warner 94; Ryal Burl 5 for 10) lost to Zimbabwe 142/7 in 39 overs (Regis Chakabva 37*; Josh Hazlewood 3-30) by three wickets.
It wasn’t quite Harare’s ‘Castle Corner’, but the Zimbabwe fans in Townsville made plenty of noise! #AUSvZIM | @alintaenergy pic.twitter.com/D2U664JqEz
