7.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Finally. Australia have a wicket and it is the 50TH WICKET IN T20IS FOR STOINIS. Similar ball to the previous one. On a length, around middle and leg, angling away, once again Marumani repeats the mistake of cutting too close to the ball. Gets another outside edge and this time, it goes closer to the keeper with Josh Inglis clasping it easily to his left. The 61-RUN STAND has been broken. 61/1

| Ryan Burl | 35 | 30 | 4 | 0 | 116.66 |
|
16 OUT! CAUGHT! Green comes as a red signal for Burl. A short ball, around off, Ryan Burl goes for the pull but the lack of pace does him in. He plays early and as a result, gets only a top edge. It goes straight up in the air, behind the keeper. Substitute Xavier Bartlett, who is on for Stoinis, gets across to his right from short third and takes it in front of the keeper who was running back for the catch as well. The 70-run stand has been broken but Burl has done his job. 131/2

1.1 OUT! CAUGHT! And the lanky bowler strikes on his first ball! A short ball, outside off, Josh Inglis swivels instantaneously for the pull but the ball comes slightly slower off the surface. Hence, he is targetting mid-wicket, but because of the lack of pace, is forced to get it behind square leg. There is a fielder waiting for the catch and Tashinga Musekiwa makes no mistake to his right. The replay shows that Inglis got it slightly higher off the bat too, which made him lose control of the stroke. AUSTRALIA ARE 13/1 AND NEED ANOTHER 157 RUNS FROM 113 BALLS! 13/1

| Travis Head C | 17 | 15 | 3 | 0 | 113.33 |
|
4.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Oh my goodness, it's bad luck and nothing else. Full-length delivery from Evans, pitching it outside off and angling it in sharply. Travis Head lunges and tries to punch it away, but gets a thick inside edge. The ball hits the back pad and deflects to the stumps to dislodge the bails. Australia are 29 for 4 now chasing 170. 29/4

2.5 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The change to bring Brad Evans has worked and now Australia are 24 for 2. This has been pitched hard by Evans, pitching on off and angling it away from the right-hander. Green rocks back and looks to punch it away, but gets a slight inside edge. The ball flies straight to the keeper, and Tadiwanashe Marumani makes no mistake to glove it. Cameron Green goes out for a duck. 24/2

3.2 OUT! CAUGHT! It has gone from bad to worse for Australia. This is short and angling in, down the leg side. Tim David hangs on his back foot and swivels to pull it, but miscues the shot pretty badly. The ball hits the sticker part of the bat and flies flat to the short fine leg fielder. It's Graeme Cremer who doesn't really have to move an inch as he squats a bit and reverse scoops the catch near his chest. It's has been a dream start for the Chevrons. 25/3

| Glenn Maxwell | 31 | 32 | 1 | 1 | 96.87 |

14.2 OUT! BOWLED! The leggie gets rid of Maxwell! Zimbabwe get the breakthrough they were looking for. The 77-run stand has been broken. Full, outside off, Glenn Maxwell goes for a mighty swing but the ball sticks on the surface, comes on slowly, takes the inside edge and hits the stumps! Big, big wicket for Zimbabwe and AUSTRALIA ARE NOW 106/5, NEEDING ANOTHER 64 RUNS FROM 34 BALLS! Marcus Stoinis walks in next, at number 7, replacing Maxwell. 106/5

| Matt Renshaw | 65 | 44 | 5 | 1 | 147.72 |
|
18.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Renshaw falls and that should be it for this match. Slower ball, on a length, outside off, Matt Renshaw backs away to the leg side and looks to slog but only gets a massive top edge. The ball goes high in the air and Ryan Burl runs in from cover to take a pretty decent catch. End of a fighting knock from Renshaw but the writing is on the wall for the Aussies. From 106/4, they have slipped to 139/8! Equation - 31 runs, 8 balls! 139/8

| Marcus Stoinis | 6 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 150 |

15.4 OUT! CAUGHT! As expected, the new batter will find it difficult to get going straightaway. Full, outside off, Marcus Stoinis gets down on a knee and plays the slog. But he barely gets any elevation and hits it pretty flat to Tashinga Musekiwa at deep mid-wicket, who makes no mistake. Early exit for Stoinis and from 106/4, AUSTRALIA ARE NOW 117/6! Equation - 53 runs, 26 balls. 117/6

17.4 OUT! STUNNING CATCH! It may or may not be the catch of the tournament but it certainly has hammered a nail on Australia's chances. On middle and leg, Dwarshuis stays back and swings hard. Connects well too, but does not get much elevation. The ball goes flat and is flying, but there is a Superman present at deep mid-wicket. Tony Munyonga charges to his right and flies parallel to the ground, diving spectacularly to grab a blinder! The Zimbabweans are cock-a-hoop and the victory line keeps getting closer. From 106/4, AUSTRALIA ARE NOW 131/7! Equation - 39 runs, 14 balls! 131/7

19 OUT! BOWLED! Zampa walks well across his stumps and Muzarabani fires a full toss at the middle and leg line. Zampa misses his flick and the ball hits the timber. 100TH T20I WICKET FOR MUZARABANI and he now has 7 wickets in the tournament. Additionally, 4/17 are his best bowling figures in T20Is! 141/9

19.3 OUT! KUHNEMANN IS RUN OUT! Full and straight, Kuhnemann misses his flick and is hit on the pads. The ball balloons towards the bowler. Meanwhile, Kuhnemann is looking for the single and is forced to stop short. But is too late. The bowler has an under-arm shy at the striker's end and hits the stumps! The run out appeal is referred upstairs, with Kuhnemann looking to go back, but the replay finds him short. ZIMBABWE BEAT AUSTRALIA BY 23 RUNS and history is repeated! 146/10
