Zimbabwe has scripted history in Australia as they won the third and the final ODI in the series in style. This is the first win for Zimbabwe against Australia in Australia. Batting first Australia never looked settled. They lost wickets at regular intervals. Except for David Warner, nobody has shown an application.

David Warner scored 94 in just 96 balls. Except for him and Maxwell, who scored 19 off 22 balls, nobody has even reached double figures. Ryan Burl was the pick of the bowlers for Zimbabwe as he took 5 wickets in quick time. As a result, Australia was bundled out for just 141.

Chasing a modest total, Zimbabwe openers gave a good start. However, wickets fell at regular intervals for them as well. After Marumani’s 35 off 47, captain Chakabva held one end by scoring an unbeaten 37 off 72 balls. As a result, Zimbabwe won the third ODI by three wickets. Already, Australia clinched the series 2-1.
