Zimbabwe rode on a brilliant bowling performance by Ryan Burl to stun Australia on Saturday as they defeated the hosts by three wickets in the third and final ODI of the three-match series at Tony Ireland Stadium, Townsville.
After bundling out Australia for a mere 141 in 31 overs, Zimbabwe rode on Tadiwanashe Marumani’s 35 and skipper Regis Chakabva’s unbeaten 37 to win the dead rubber with 11 overs to spare to deny the hosts a clean sweep.
Also, it is Zimbabwe’s first-ever victory on Australian soil and only third win against the Aussies in ODIs. Both sides have faced each other in 33 matches in ODI. Out of these 33 games, Australia have won 29 whereas Zimbabwe have come out victorious on 3 occasions. One match ended without a result.
