A few days ago, Zimbabwe played good cricket at home against Bangladesh. Won ODI and T20 series. But after that, the team seems to have lost the rhythm. ODI series loss at home against India. This time, in Australia, got the bitter taste of losing the series.
Australia chased down the easy target of 200 runs given by Zimbabwe in the first match of the three-match series with 5 wickets in hand. Now in the second ODI, the situation is more delicate. Zimbabwean batsmen could not stand in front of Aussie’s bowling cannon. They lost all the wickets to score only 96 runs.
Australia went down to chase that easy target and won. And cost only 88 balls. With this win, Aussies took a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. They also confirmed the series. Mitchell Starc became the man of the match by picking up 3 important wickets of the visitors.
Meanwhile, the possibility of winning these two matches which lost the series is far away, rather Zimbabwe could not even build resistance. Starcs are playing easy game against Sikandars. This time there is a fear of whitewash in the last match of the series. Can Zimbabwe avoid the shame by winning the last match? Who knows!
