ZIM vs AUS Live Cricket Score

0.1 OUT! Gone first ball! What a start for Australia! The lanky seamer runs in from over the wicket and lets out a gentle full delivery well outside off. Zhuwao just presents a loose bat outside off, perhaps aiming to push it through covers. The feet go nowhere, as if they are glued to the pitch inside the crease. The ball takes the outside edge and lands in the safe gloves of Alex Carey behind. Poor beginning for the hosts would be an understatement. 0/1

19 OUT! Bowled 'em! Knocks the stumps right out! Full and straight from Andrew Tye, Mire swings and misses. The pace wasn't as much as he expected, so the ball sneaks through and disturbs the furniture. He will be disappointed he couldn't see it through, he did all the hard work to dig in. Unfortunate. Anyway, with this wicket, Tye has his 50th wicket in T20s in 2018. 142/8

3.3 OUT! Got him! Revenge extracted by Richardson! He lands it on a length outside off, it bounces a bit more. Masakadza goes for the punch off the back foot without moving his feet. Next thing, the inside edge of the blade is taken and the stumps are shattered. End of the skipper's sojourn in the middle. 21/2

5.5 OUT! Majestic the previous ball, miserable the next! This is a length ball around off. Musakanda looks to heave it over the off side. But the ball takes the outer/top edge and flies towards third man. This time, the debutant Jack Wildermuth gets forward and low and takes a good catch. Had his hands well below the ball there. The umpire wanted to have a look at the front foot and Billy's fine there. Zimbabwe slide further. 44/3

15.3 OUT! Did not think this would happen today, but a catch has been taken. Unbelievable. Fuller and around off, Moor looks to clear the point fence. Unfortunately for him though he hits it too flat and Maddinson out in the deep takes it with ease. A good cameo from PJ Moor and the 68-run stand with Solomon Mire come to an end. 112/4

16.4 OUT! Elton is out of here. In the earlier game where Zimbabwe faced Australia, he got out in similar fashion. Pulled and got a top edge, holed out to long on. Now, holes out at deep square leg. Back of a length, Chigumbura brings out the pull shot, gets a top edge and hands a relatively easy catch to Richardson who comes running in from the deep to take it. 116/5

18.3 OUT! Just ahead of a length, on middle and leg, Waller flicks it with power aerially through backward square leg. A flat hit, maybe timed a bit too well as it flies straight towards Richardson who takes it well. Nice little cameo from Waller, he'd have liked to finish the innings off though. 141/6

18.5 OUT! Length delivery from Tye, Mire drives this to long off and both batsmen take off. He always wanted two and Tiripano responds. Meanwhile, Agar gets to the ball and fires a wide throw to Tye, who takes it and flicks the ball onto the stumps. Tiripano, for some reason known to him, doesn't dive and drags his bat in. It's taken upstairs and replays show he's gone. Diamond Duck for Donald. 142/7

20 OUT! That's a good catch. A very good catch. Wellington swings across the line to clear the infield over the leg side. Gets a big top edge which skies just over mid off. Stoinis chases back, the ball is coming over his shoulders but he still does well to keep his eyes on it and take it with a slide. ZIMBABWE FINISH ON 151/9! 151/9

2.1 OUT! Wellington Masakadza strikes! Gets rid of the big fish Aaron Finch quickly. The left arm bowler tossed this one up to Finch, who was backing away. The line was around leg, to deny the batter the advantage of room that he was making. As a result, the Aussie skipper goes back and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket. Easy peasy for Tarisai Musakanda, who had to move some steps to his left and take it. Joy for the hosts. 15/1

4.3 OUT! Catching practice for the wicketkeeper. Fuller and angling away, Carey plays a nothing shot. Perhaps he tries to guide it towards third man. All that happens next is that the outside edge is taken and the substitute keeper, Ryan Murray, doesn't miss out taking that. Glee for the hosts, glum for the tourists. 126 off 93 to play with for Zimbabwe. 26/2

18.2 OUT! The set batsman is out of here! Travis Head is dismissed two shy of a fifty and Zimbabwe celebrate. An implosion on the cards? Head just needed to keep his calm, instead he goes for the lofted shot down the ground. The slower one from Blessing, which forces the batsman early into the shot. Chips it to Wellington at long on who gobbles it up. 139/5

16.2 OUT! Straight to the man at extra cover! The Big Show departs after playing an important knock. Extremely full on off stump, Maxwell drives this on the up and straight to Chigumbura positioned there. He would have liked to finish things off, but he's going to have to settle for this and watch his teammates hopefully finish the job. 129/3

17.3 OUT! Zimbabwe have another wicket! Could this be a turning point in the game? Remains to be seen. But this is good bowling from Tiripano. Back of a length, Maddinson looks to loft it over the leg side but is undone by the lack of pace. Chips it towards square leg where Muzarabani moves to his right and takes it after settling under it. 134/4
