ICC World 20-20, AUS vs ZIM, Group B: Zimbabwe beat Australia by 5 wickets
Sep 12, 2007
Zimbabwe scored a credible 5 wicket win over Australia to display the first major upset of the Twenty20 World Cup. Zimbabwean wicketkeeper batsman Brendon Taylor shined both behind and in front of the wickets as he made his first International Twenty20 half century. His fifty came in style and in just 38 balls.
Vusimusi Sibanda who was hammering Australian bowlers all over the ground was dismissed in the 4th over. Sibandas run torrent came to an end as he edged a delivery from Nathan Bracken into the hands of wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist. Sibanda made 24 runs from 16 balls.
Earlier, a depleted Australian side could manage just 138 runs for the loss of 8 wickets against Zimbabwe. Australia were sent into tizzy as they lost their top batsmen to some brilliant bowling and fielding display by Zimbabwe.
ICC World Twenty20, AUS vs ZIM, Group B: Zimbabwe 139-5 (19.5 overs) beat Australia 138-9 (20.0 overs) by 5 wickets>
