AUS vs ZIM highlights: Zimbabwe stunned Australia in the 19th match of the T20 World Cup at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. After losing the toss, they had to bat first and they did really well to post 169 runs for the loss of two wickets in 20 overs. Brian Bennett scored 64 runs opening the innings and batted right through the innings, while Marumani did well to score 35 runs. Sikandar Raza played his part in the death overs, smashing an unbeaten 25 off 13 balls.
In response, Australia lost four wickets within the powerplay. Glenn Maxwell and Matt Renshaw then stitched a decent partnership to keep the team in the hunt but once their partnership was broken, it was all one-way traffic. Renshaw did extremely well but ran out of partners in the end as Australia succumbed under pressure to be skittled for just 146 runs. Blessing Muzarabani won the player of the match for returning with memorable figures of 4/17 in four overs.
