Overview
- Australia sealed the three‑match series 2‑0 with an 84‑run win at Harare Sports Club on Friday after Travis Head scored 112 off 84 balls to anchor a big total.
- The tourists posted 356‑6 in their 50 overs, their highest ODI score against Zimbabwe, and the hosts were bowled out for 272 in 48.3 overs during the chase.
- Adam Zampa took two wickets in the match to move past 200 career ODI wickets, marking a personal milestone for Australia’s senior spinner.
- The victory came with a cost when fast bowler Billy Stanlake left with a side strain in his fifth over, a development that could alter Australia’s pace options before the next leg of the tour.
- The short Zimbabwe trip has been used for squad rotation and form assessment with earlier standouts including Matt Renshaw’s maiden ODI century and Nathan Ellis’s five‑wicket haul, and Australia now travel to South Africa for more ODIs and Tests beginning later this month.
