3rd ODI: Ryan Burl picks up five wickets as Zimbabwe shock Australia

Sent in to bat, to the crowd's short-lived delight, Australia slumped to 141 all out in 31 overs with a counter-attacking 94 from 96 balls by David Warner the only major contribution.

But it was too-little-too-late, as a captain's knock from Chakabva anchored the innings. Evans struck Starc through the covers to score the winning runs, cementing
