00:00Zimbabwe batted first against Australia, Brian Bennett and Tadewanashe Muramani opening the innings
00:06and they both succeeded in getting the ball to the boundary. Bennett the more cautious.
00:12However, Muramani was the first to go. He made 35 of 21 balls caught behind, 61 for 1 in 7
00:19.3 overs.
00:22Ryan Burl and Bennett played the long game and rotated the strike without taking too many risks.
00:28Still though, the runs were coming.
00:31This is until Muramani got on for 35, 1-31 for 2 in the 16th.
00:37The fireworks were left for the end by Sikandar Raza who finished not out on 25 from 13 balls.
00:44Bennett with him on 64 not out. They scored 1-69 for 2 off 20 overs.
00:51The chase looked quite possible for Australia which made 1-82 for 6 in their victory over Ireland in the
00:58opening match.
00:58However, Muzarabani and Brad Evans removed the key wickets of Josh Inglis.
01:04Travis Head, Cameron Green and Tim David leave Australia in trouble. 29 for 4.
01:20Renshaw and Maxwell rebuilt the innings with scores of 31 and 65.
01:26But when the latter dragged on to Burl for 31, one of only three Australian players to make double figures,
01:32it piled on the struggle.
01:36Zimbabwe, say catch. They are hoping. Yes, they get it.
01:41Yeah, the stories on this occasion. Just doesn't get enough of the elevation that's required.
01:49Then came this fantastic catch from Munyonga to remove the seventh wicket.
01:54Australia slipping away to 1-31 for seven.
01:58I think it was the catcher. This is a superb piece of work. Have a look at this.
02:01Muzarabani returned to bore the penultimate over and after he moved to Renshaw, Zimbabwe closed off the match.
02:08They dismissed to the Aussies from 146 and 19.3 overs to win by 23 runs.
02:15Pace delivery into the wicket. Toe into the bat.
