HARARE: A slew of records tumbled as Australia destroyed Zimbabwe by way of 100 runs in the Twenty20 tri-series at Harare Sports Club on Tuesday.
AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD
Chasing 229, Zimbabwe managed 129/9
Australian captain Aaron Finch powered his option to 172, a new international record high score in T20 internationals, and his opening partnership with D'Arcy Short put up 223, any other international record.
Australia reached 229 for two, the highest total ever scored in opposition to Zimbabwe in a T20I.
Finch cracked his first six in the fourth over of the morning, and with his 3rd he introduced up a 22-ball half century.
That used to be his fastest in Twenty20 internationals.
Australia took 75 from the Powerplay, with Finch doing the bulk of the scoring whilst Short used to be content material to show the strike over to his big-hitting spouse.
When the staff hundred came up halfway throughout the 10th over, Finch had 74 runs to his name, whilst Short had managed just 19 from the 24 balls he had confronted.
Short quickly began to search out the center of his own bat, although, and took a brace of sixes off Ryan Burl's legspin to take his strike rate to over a run a ball.
Finch, meanwhile, introduced up his 2nd T20I hundred at the end of the 14th over, taking just 50 deliveries. Four overs later, his 15th 4 took Australia's score to 200, and Finch then moved beyond 150 with a swipe to deep midwicket.
He then surpassed his own international record high score of 156 with his 9th six. Short sooner or later fell swinging around the line at speedy bowler Blessing Muzarabani to be caught for 46, whilst Finch fell in odd cases in the final over.
Stretching out to hit a full supply from Muzarabani, he over-balanced and kicked his own stumps to be out hit wicket. While Muzarabani finished with two wickets to his name, left-arm spinner Tendai Chisoro used to be the one bowler to escape critical punishment.
It appeared Zimbabwe would possibly make a fist in their large chase when openers Solomon Mire and Chamu Chibhabha rushed past 40 in the fourth over, but when they have been disregarded common wickets briefly stalled the innings. Left-arm spinner Ashton Agar raced thru 4 overs conceding just 16, whilst Andrew Tye's seamers have been even more effective.
Tye took 3 for 12 as Australia inflicted one last record in opposition to the host Zimbabwe, who slumped to their largest-ever defeat in T20Is. Zimbabwe will tackle Pakistan on Wednesday in the tri-series' next match.
