Glenn Maxwell smashed an unbeaten 32 off nine balls to take Australia to an easy five-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the first of three one-day internationals at Townsville's Riverway Stadium on Sunday. Chasing 201 for victory, the Australians reached their target with more than 16 overs to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. All-rounder Cameron Green ripped out the Zimbabwe tail with 5-33 as the visitors collapsed from 185-4 to 200 all out, a total that was never going to be enough against a full-strength Australia.
When Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios squared off in the Australian Open junior final back in 2013, and won the Wimbledon boys’ doubles title together a few months later, no one would have expected they would have to wait another nine years before they played each other in a tour-level match. The Aussie duo are good friends and have formed a formidable doubles partnership this season, which saw them clinch the Australian Open crown in January, along with the title in Atlanta last month. Ad They haven’t been on opposite sides of the net on a match court since a Challenger meeting Kyrgios won in 2014, but that will change on Monday night in New York when they face off on Arthur Ashe stadium in a highly-anticipated US Open first round.
There's understandable excitement at the prospect of the Republic of Ireland sealing a place in the World Cup play-offs in Tallaght on Thursday night.
Sent in to bat in blustery overcast conditions, the 13th-ranked tourists were bowled out in 47.3 overs for 200. The total never threatened Australia's experienced batting unit, which accelerated to 201-5 with 99 balls to spare. Sloppy fielding allowed Zimbabwe's fragile top-order to make a promising start, easing to 61-1 by the first drinks break with Innocent Kaia caught and bowled for 17 by Mitchell Marsh.
TOWNSVILLE : A maiden five-wicket haul by seamer Cameron Green on Sunday set Australia up for a five-wicket victory in the first one-day international against Zimbabwe in Townsville, which is hosting the first series between the sides Down Under since 2004.
South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber said he would look for ways to ensure his team are more clinical when they take on Australia on Saturday after slipping to defeat against the Wallabies in Adelaide.
When James Anderson took the wicket of Simon Harmer during South Africa's second innings of the second Test in Manchester on Saturday, he went past Australia legend Glenn McGrath to become the leading wicket-taker in international cricket among pacers. McGrath had 949 wickets across formats in his international career, and Anderson finished the second Test against South Africa with 951, as he also dismissed Kagiso Rabada after Harmer's wicket. Anderson now has 664 wickets in Tests, 269 in ODIs and 18 in T20 Internationals (T20Is).
