Lol Zimbabwe won, this should give them some confidence and will surely help in the climb up at the ranking table.

Kind of bizarre to see an Aussie scorecard, that's some epic collapse in the same match where 1 batter scored 94 runs for the team and the rest of the team contributed only 38 runs, 3rd best scorer was Extras 9 runs.  Undecided



Still, Australia won the series but after watching the highlights of this match I realized one thing Zimbabwe is pretty much unpredictable. Ryan Burl's bowling was brilliant with line and length in this match, Sikandar Reza has lost his form as he has not been able to score much after the Bangladesh series.

Just imagine if Warner had not scored 94 runs then the whole Australian side would have collapsed within 100. This might have been one of the poorest performances by the Australian team in an ODI.
These upsets happen from time to time and it's good.

Although I would love to witness such kind of upsets in WC against the BIG-3, hard pill to swallow as a fan but damn it's funny as well if we look at the overall meltdown.  Grin

Right now the main Zimbabwe player is Sikander Raza, a player of South Asian origin. Its a positive sign that Zimbabwe is making a come back to international cricket by beating Bangladesh in ODI series and now winning a historic ODI against mighyt Australia.  I can sense Zimbabwe coming to next world cup also.

I don't have any big expectations. Zimbabwe is a dying team and I am sure that they will never appear in the ODI world cup again. Even if they win their remaining 3 matches in the ODI Super League, they will be left with 75 points and that is not enough to qualify. On the other hand, some of the associate nations are making big improvements (such as Scotland, Namibia, Uganda and Nepal). I don't think that Zimbabwe will be able to keep up with the changing circumstances and stay competitive.
That is correct Zimbabwe is a dying team - there are many other - but that is Okie as long as they are competing.
Tomorrow there is another interesting match between India and Pakistan. Looking fwd doe the interesting match tomorrow.

I am happy that Zimbabwe managed to win. But without the white players, it could have been impossible. Brad Evans scored the winning runs and picked up two wickets, while Ryan Burl picked up 5 wickets and scored valuable runs towards the end. They are still overdependent on the white players, despite the fact that white population is shrinking (now 0.1% of the total population). The African players haven't shown a capability to win matches, despite huge amount of funds being spent to improve domestic cricket.

Today Zimbabwe achieved the biggest win in cricket history. No one could have ever imagined that Zimbabwe would win such a big match against Australia. Zimbabwe Cricket has once again proved they are worthy. If they can sustain their progress naturally, they will be far ahead of their contemporaries in world cricket. The confidence that the Zimbabwean team gained from today's match will help them immensely in the next game.

WTF just happened?  Angry
Australia got bowled out for 141. And David Warner scored 94 out of the total. Ryan Burl took 5 wickets, while Brad Evans picked up two. A very good chance for Zimbabwe, to pick up 10 very important points in the ICC ODI super league. But it is not ging to help them. Even if they win all the remaining matches, they are out of contention for automatic qualification for the ODI World Cup 2023.
The win might not get them qualified into the ODI World Cup 2023, but it'll get them confidence for the upcoming series. Even the match hasn't gone into the hands of Zimbabwe, already lost 4 wickets and just 67 runs scored. More 75 runs required to win the match.
It's incredible. I just saw the target given by Australia. Only 141! Seriously! I can't believe it. Australia lost all wickets for just 141 runs against a weak team like Zimbabwe. The bowlers of Zimbabwe played superbly. Ryan Burt took 5 wickets with 10 runs in 3 overs.
Zimbabwe must win this match. They will not get such a chance again. The bowlers have done their duty properly. Now Zimbabwe can win if the batsmen play a bit better. I don't remember them ever winning against a team like Australia in the past.
Agreed, Zimbabwe won't get any more chance to make a win against Australia. The openers Kaitano and Marumani have given a good start. The middle order Madhevere, Willams and Raza haven't contributed big. Chakabva and Munyonga are in the crease, and they need to make the partnership strong to win the match. Losing any one of the wicket is gonna be a win for Australia.

Chakabva and Munyonga's responsible partnership will likely see Zimbabwe beat a ladder team like Australia. Only 29 runs are needed. As Zimbabwe has plenty of overs. So they are moving towards victory by batting slowly. Chakabva scored 23 runs off 46 balls and Munyonga scored 17 runs off 38 balls. However, this is going to be an unforgettable achievement for the Zimbabwean team. I will be happy if they win this match.
Finally Zimbabwe have won the match by 3 wickets (66 balls left). Zampa awarded player of the series. Ryan Burl awarded player of the match for his five wickets in three overs conceding just 10 runs. Ryan Burl have took the important wicket of David Warner, Maxwell and the rest were bottom order players. In today's match the winning credit is for Chakabva for his unbeaten 37 runs.

Now the match is almost in Zimbabwe's control. Maybe today will be a memorable day for Zimbabwe. They have lost both matches in this series. Cricket circles were similarly critical of the third match. However, Zimbabwe is preparing to crack down. They have just a few runs only 27 runs left to win the match by defeat Australia. There are still 5 wickets left in hand which can place them in comfort zone.

David Warner collected 94 runs and Maxwell scored 19 runs. Apart from these two players, no other player in the team managed to collect more than 5 runs. Such poor and unprofessional batting we will see from an experienced team like Australia it was not expected. However, this match is not important for Australia. They have already won the series. Still, they should have batted more responsibly against a weaker side like Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe scored 85 runs in 23 overs and lost 5 wickets. 57 more runs were needed to win the match. If Chakabva can't stay at the crease then Zimbabwe won't be able to win even batting at such a low target.

The match conditions have reached such a stage that if they can stay on the pitch like playing test match they will definitely win. But playing well in low-scoring matches is not easy for smaller teams. Especially Zimbabwe where always struggling to survive. But if they can save wicket by collecting single run without taking risks, their victory will be assured.

Big winning opportunity for Zimbabwe. Earlier while checking the score the winning probability of Zimbabwe was just 8% and now the winning percentage for Zimbabwe is 75% which shows Australia haven't performed well. Australia have ended the innings scoring 141 runs. Finally Zimbabwe can boost themselves with a good win against Australia. The interesting thing, Warner have scored 94 runs facing 96 balls. Remaining runs were the contribution by the remaining players excluding 9 extras.
Zimbabwe lost four wickets. Now only 66 runs are required for Zimbabwe. If they can play patiently during this period then it is not difficult. But their top-order batsmen were defeated. Now it's up to the middle order batsman to see if they can pull off this easy win in the end? It is possible to get this run easily in their favor if they stay in wicket. This is going to be their biggest opportunity to win the match against Australia.

Tomorrow there will be third ODI between Zimbabwe and Australia. Australia have already won the series and chances are they will won the last ODI also. Zimbabwe put up a decent show in first ODI scoring 200 runs but in second ODI it was a total disaster. Whole Zimbabwe team was bowled out for just 97 runs.
Let's see how Zimbabwe performs tomorrow.
Despite getting so many opportunities, Zimbabwe could not give any good cricket in few days. It is said that their players did not qualify to play with the big team. There is no question of winning with Australia. It wouldn't have been less if they could have put a little pressure on them but they couldn't do anything against them. Anyway will have to wait for the last match to see what they can do.
Zimbabwe have been playing a lot of bad games for the past few days which is needless to say if Zimbabwe want to stay in the field they need to focus on them first.  There was a possibility
