That was a laboured win by Australia. Credit to Zimbabwe for keeping the pressure on throughout the match.

After an eventful four balls, make that two from two balls needed. Stoinis on strike and… smacks a full toss for four. Game over. Australia wins with a ball to spare by five wickets. A mighty effort from the hosts. #ZIMvAUS

Australia win by 5 wickets. This time without Finch’s help. Glenn Maxwell with the crucial knock. #ZIMvAUS

Australia win by 5 Wickets but not an easy win considering the target they had to chase.
Great effort from Zimbabwe though to take it to 19.5 over #ZIMvAUS pic.twitter.com/iMSWdEbyq9

Malcolm Waller genuine lack of awareness & composure just costs Zimbabwe a huge upset win over Australia
