Finch’s (five) horror run with the bat continued as he edged Richard Ngarava to slip.A misjudged leave from Smith (one) off Victor Nyauchi saw him trapped lbw before. Carey (four) and Stoinis (three) were caught behind off Brad Evans’ bowling. Green (three) was then caught at cover off Sean Williams.After that, it was time for the Burl show. He had Maxwell caught and bowled off a leading edge. Ashton Agar (0) clipped a full toss to midwicket. Warner was the eighth wicket to fall on 135. He slog-swept the bowler to deep midwicket. The Aussie opener struck 14 fours and two sixes in his valiant innings.Burl dismissed Mitchell Starc (two) and Josh Hazlewood (0) cheaply too as Australia folded up for a paltry total.Defending the total, Aussie fast bowler Hazlewood claimed three quick wickets to reduce Zimbabwe to 44 for three in the 11th over.
