ZIM vs AUS Live Cricket Score

19 OUT! TIMBER! There it is, the first breakthrough for Zimbabwe, and it's a peach of a delivery from Wellington Masakadza. This is slowed up, floated fuller and on off. The ball threatens to drift in with the angle but lands and turns away. Mitchell Marsh makes the mistake of going onto the back foot to a relatively full ball and is beaten past the outside edge. The ball goes on to hit the outside half of the off stump and the bails come off, ending the 130-run opening stand for Australia. 130/1

27.5 OUT! IN THE AIR...GONE! Wessly Madhevere strikes big and gets rid of the centurion. He sees the batter advance and gives this one some more air, serving this full and around off, turns it away. Travis Head fails to get to the pitch of it but still goes through the lofted shot. Gets a top edge as the ball goes up in the air towards short cover, where Ryan Burl (Sub) settles under it and takes a fine catch. End of a fantastic knock from Head, and Australia are 190/2 now. 190/2

45.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Brad Evans strikes in back-to-back overs and sends both the set batters packing. Evans takes pace off again, bowling it at 125 kph, and a bit short and wide outside off. Cooper Connolly leans back and across to the off side, going hard at it but loses his shape. Connolly ends up top-edging it high towards short fine leg. There's no fielder there, but the keeper, Brendan Taylor, does well to get under the swirling ball and hangs on to a fine catch. Connolly is frustrated as he walks back as he feels a hundred was there for the taking. 297/5

34.1 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Wellington Masakadza strikes immediately on his return, and that is a really soft dismissal for Josh Inglis. Masakadza just lobs it on a fullish length, drifting it in towards middle. Inglis opts to go back to a pretty full ball and it just holds in the surface. Inglis ends up jabbing at it and chips it to the right of the bowler, who makes no mistake, grabbing it with both hands, and Australia are now 229/3. 229/3

43.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Brad Evans breaks the 57-run stand, and this is a timely wicket for Zimbabwe. Pace off, back of a length and on off, Alex Carey makes room and tries to carve it away but ends up slicing it due to the lack of pace. It flies towards point, where Ben Curran dives forward and takes a fine catch. Australia are 286/4 now. 286/4

47.3 OUT! TAKEN! Now, that is a sensational grab from Innocent Kaia. Another bumper from Brad Evans, this time pace on and over leg stump. Matt Renshaw pulls it flat towards deep backward square leg. Kaia charges in and lunges forward with a dive, managing to snaffle the dipping ball just centimeters off the surface. The third umpire does check it for a fair catch and replays show that Kaia has his fingers underneath the ball. Australia are now 321/6. 321/6

11.5 OUT! TIMBER! Brian Bennett is adamant and goes for the reverse again, getting himself into a real mess. Bennett sets up early for the reverse and Matt Renshaw sees it coming from a mile. This is darted in full and straight and Bennett ends up playing all around it. The ball goes through and smashes into the base of the middle stump, breaking the 46-run opening sand for Zimbabwe. 46/1

15.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Matt Renshaw comes back into the attack and strikes again. Renshaw flattens the trajectory of the ball, spearing it in full on off and middle. The ball angles in a bit and Ben Curran ends up getting yorked as he tries to heave it across the line. The ball sneaks under the willow and crashes into the stumps, and Curran has to walk back as well. 60/2

24.4 OUT! TIMBER! ODI WICKET NUMBER 200 FOR ZAMPA! He becomes only the second Australian spinner to achieve this milestone, after the late, great Shane Warne, who has 291 ODI wickets to his name. Coming to the delivery, it is a beauty from Adam Zampa. A flighted googly on off, dipping on the batter. Innocent Kaia leans forward to drive but is beaten in the flight. The ball turns in past the inside edge and goes on to clip the top of middle and leg. 115/3

31.5 OUT! TAKEN! Oliver Peake gets the breakthrough for Australia and picks up his maiden ODI wicket. He tosses it up, full and on middle. Brendan Taylor gets down on one knee to sweep it away but the ball bounces a bit more than he expects. It takes the top edge and flies towards deep backward square leg, where Josh Hazlewood runs to his right, settles under it and takes a good catch. Zimbabwe are 159/4, chasing 357 runs. 159/4

36.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Adam Zampa gets his 201st ODI wicket as well. No Ervine-Raza big stand in this game for the hosts. This is floated, full and around middle. Craig Ervine gets down on one knee and plays the reverse sweep. He connects well but fails to keep it down as it flies towards backward point. Mitchell Marsh anticipates early, moves to his left, and then puts in a dive to take a sharp catch. Zimbabwe lose half their side now. 187/5

48.2 OUT! TAKEN! Cooper Connolly gets among the wickets. He floats it up, full and around off. Sikandar Raza backs away and tries to mow it down the ground but fails to get fully underneath it. He does not get the elevation as the ball flies straight to long off, where Matt Renshaw takes a safe reverse-cup catch. Australia just one wicket away from the win now. 272/9

41.2 OUT! CAUGHT! A first wicket for a seamer in this innings. Nathan Ellis goes pace-on this time, landing it on a good length and pushing it outside the line of off stump. Brad Evans moves across to the off side and heaves across the line, getting a lot more height than distance on it. Cooper Connolly comes in from the mid-wicket fence and pouches it safely. Zimbabwe are now 218/6. 218/6

44.4 OUT! LBW! A loud appeal for LBW, and it's been given. Wessly Madhevere is quick to review as well. Josh Hazlewood comes a bit wider on the crease, bowling it on a length and honing in on the stumps. Madhevere gets inside the line to flick but misses and wears it on the pads as the ball rolls to short third. The third umpire checks UltraEdge first and finds no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows the wickets as umpire's call, which means Madhevere has to walk back. 253/7

45 OUT! CLEANS HIM UP! Josh Hazlewood nails the straight yorker, landing it right at the base of the middle stump. Newman Nyamhuri backs away past the leg stump, trying to make room and hit through the off side, but he's well beaten. The ball beats the bat and goes on to make a mockery of the stumps behind. Australia are just two wickets away from the win now. 255/8

48.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Cooper Connolly wraps things up with back-to-back wickets. AUSTRALIA WIN BY 84 RUNS! This is the arm ball, full and on middle, angling in a bit. Blessing Muzarabani has a wild slog across the line but misses it completely as the ball goes through to rattle the stumps behind. Australia take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. 272/10
