Thrilling Final ODI Sees Australia Edge Zimbabwe by One Wicket

The third ODI of the series turned into a high‑octane contest as Australia edged Zimbabwe by a solitary wicket. Zimbabwe’s innings stalled at 271/8, thanks to early breakthroughs from Ben Kahn and Brian Bennett and a steady 80‑run stand between Craig Ervin and Innocent Kaiya. Australia’s reply was anchored by Josh Inglis’s 100, supported by Alex Carey’s 34 and a 85‑run partnership with Carey. After losing five wickets for just 25 runs, the lower order, led by Spencer Johnson (7*), Nathan Ellis (36*), and the finishing touch from Johnson, steered the side home in the final over.
