Zimbabwe beat Australia by 23 runs at the T20 Cricket World Cup on Friday in Colombo.
Australia won the toss and elected to field against Zimbabwe, who racked up 169 runs for the loss of two wickets.
Set a target of 170, wickets taken in rapid succession at the closing stages of the game snuffed out Australia’s run chase. They included Tony Munyonga leaping through the air for a brilliant diving catch to take out Ben Dwarshuis.
Australia were all out for 146.
It was the first T20 World Cup game between the two nations since Zimbabwe’s stunning five-wicket win over Australia in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007.
Travis Head led the Australia side in captain Mitchell Marsh’s absence as he continues to recover from a testicular injury. Marsh sustained the injury in the nets on the eve of Australia’s opening Group B game and missed Australia’s 67-run win against Ireland.
