Australia vs Zimbabwe, 19th Match, Group B, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Highlights

Nathan Ellis to Sikandar Raza, SIX, lovely, that'll do it nicely for Zimbabwe - Ellis loses his length, offers a full-toss on the pads and it's whipped over deep backward square leg for a maximum. Ellis isn't a happy man, the execution went awry and he paid the price

Ben Dwarshuis to Brian Bennett, FOUR, 15 off the over, good over for Zimbabwe - was a slower back of a length delivery from Dwarshuis, was bowled into the pitch and offers no pace to Brian Bennett. The right-hander though muscles the flat-batted pull and gets enough to clear cover, bounces away to the ropes

Ben Dwarshuis to Brian Bennett, 2 runs, a chance, Kuhnemann runs in, was late to pick the ball, it dropped down onto him and past the fingers. He then has to run back and cut-off the boundary. Was the slower short ball ad Bennett heaved the pull over mid-wicket

Ben Dwarshuis to Sikandar Raza, FOUR, smashed, the slower ball from Dwarshuis, but it's too floaty and well wide of off. Sikandar Raza stays back and then scythes the drive past extra-cover, races away to the ropes

Ben Dwarshuis to Sikandar Raza, FOUR, nicely played, that's a good start to the over - short of a good length and angling into the right-hander, Raza gets inside the line and whips it off the hip. Fine leg is inside the ring and has no chance

Cameron Green to Ryan Burl, out Caught by (sub)Xavier Bartlett!! A wicket first ball - short of a good length and just outside off - Burl swings across the line and gets a massive top-edge, went straight up and behind the keeper - Bartlett, who had just come on for Stoinis runs to his right and completes a simple catch. A big wicket, Burl could've been dangerous in this last set of overs. Ryan Burl c (sub)Xavier Bartlett b Cameron Green 35(30) [4s-4]

Marcus Stoinis to Ryan Burl, no run, a chance and Stoinis has put it down, hit his thumb and he looks hurt. Surely Australia can't manage more injuries - was a full-toss and Burl smashed it back at the bowler. Hit Stoinis's thumb as he attempted the catch

Marcus Stoinis to Ryan Burl, FOUR, drilled, full and just outside off - it's right in the slot and Burl hammers it back over the bowler's head for a boundary

Matthew Kuhnemann to Ryan Burl, 1 run, tossed up on middle, clipped into the gap wide of mid-wicket for a single, brings up ZIM's 100

Marcus Stoinis to Tadiwanashe Marumani, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Australia have got their breakthrough. This time Marumani's luck runs out. Back of a length delivery just outside off, Marumani looks to cut behind square, didn't have the room he was looking for. All he manages is an outside edge that goes straight to the keeper for a simple catch. End a good knock from Marumani. Tadiwanashe Marumani c Josh Inglis b Marcus Stoinis 35(21) [4s-7]

Marcus Stoinis to Tadiwanashe Marumani, FOUR, Marumani is riding his luck. Stoinis finds the outside edge with a delivery angling across the left-hander. Marumani looks to play away from the body and the edge flies past the diving keeper

Adam Zampa to Tadiwanashe Marumani, FOUR, poor delivery from Zampa. Short and on the pads, Marumani gets low and pulls it behind square. No chance of stopping that on these fast outfields

Adam Zampa to Brian Bennett, FOUR, half-volley outside off, Bennett leans on the front foot and creams the drive wide of sweeper cover. Timed it so well that the fielder was always behind the ball chasing all the way. 50 comes with that boundary

Ben Dwarshuis to Tadiwanashe Marumani, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Marumani. Not convincing, but he will take it. Fuller in length on middle, Marumani hoicks across, gets a thick inside edge and flies to deep square leg fence
