ICC World Twenty20 - 4th match, Group B

Australia v Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe won by 5 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)

T20I no. 23 | 2007/08 season
Played at Newlands, Cape Town (neutral venue)
12 September 2007 - day/night (20-over match)


Australia innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
AC Gilchrist†	c Matsikenyeri b Chigumbura	4	9	6	0	0	66.66
2.2 short and Gilchrist goes for the pull ... but miscues it horribly! The ball spirals into the dank Newlands heavens and midwicket pouches a comfortable catch! Australia, in their first competitive match since the World Cup final, are in something resembling disarray ... 12/2
ML Hayden	c †Taylor b Chigumbura	4	2	2	1	0	200.00
0.4 would you believe it! Outside off, nipping away off the seam in the damp conditions, and Hayden's massive swipe finds only the thinnest of edges! Jubilation for the Zimbabweans, and the first wicket is down 7/1
RT Ponting*	c Chigumbura b Brent	8	14	15	1	0	53.33
3.6 well well well well ... Ponting uses his feet again, and this time he perishes! A wild swing finds only an outside edge, and after an eternity third man steadies himself to claim a massive wicket! Australia, officially, are in strife. 19/3
A Symonds	st †Taylor b Masakadza	33	40	25	4	0	132.00
13.4 sharp work from Brendan Taylor as Symonds slipped moving forward while looking to cut. Forget the replays, Symonds looked immediately worried - and so he should have done 86/5
MEK Hussey	run out (Sibanda)	15	20	23	1	0	65.21
9.2 from Chibhabha, Sibanda pulls off a brilliant direct hit from point, and Hussey is on his way! That's a massive wicket. He dropped the ball into the off side and set off for the run, but was sent back as Sibanda swooped and hit with one stump to aim at 48/4
BJ Hodge	not out	35	36	22	2	2	159.09

BJ Haddin	c Chigumbura b Utseya	6	7	12	0	0	50.00
16.2 pulls that from outside off, up in the air swirling away to the right of Chigumbura who runs round - and he has to be quick - to meet the ball out towards long-on 102/6
B Lee	b Brent	13	6	7	1	1	185.71
18.1 crashes a huge inside edge back onto the sticks, sending the off stump - and Lee - on their way 119/7
MG Johnson	run out (Brent/†Taylor)	9	5	5	1	0	180.00
19.3 Chigumbura to Hodge, scramble for a single down to third man, but a fast return and is sent on his way through a stunning run-out from Taylor, almost ten-pin bowling down the one stick he had to aim at (throwing with his gloved hand) 134/8
NW Bracken	c Sibanda b Chigumbura	4	1	3	0	0	133.33
19.6 chipped out to the man at deep cover and the innings ends with a catch - and so a dot 138/9
Extras	(b 1, w 6)	7

Total	(9 wickets; 20 overs; 74 mins)	138	(6.90 runs per over)

Bowling	O	M	R	W	Econ
E Chigumbura	3	0	20	3	6.66
0.4 to Hayden, would you believe it! Outside off, nipping away off the seam in the damp conditions, and Hayden's massive swipe finds only the thinnest of edges! Jubilation for the Zimbabweans, and the first wicket is down 7/1 2.2 to Gilchrist, short and Gilchrist goes for the pull ... but miscues it horribly! The ball spirals into the dank Newlands heavens and midwicket pouches a comfortable catch! Australia, in their first competitive match since the World Cup final, are in something resembling disarray ... 12/2 19.6 to Bracken, chipped out to the man at deep cover and the innings ends with a catch - and so a dot 138/9
GB Brent	4	0	19	2	4.75	(2w)
3.6 to Ponting, well well well well ... Ponting uses his feet again, and this time he perishes! A wild swing finds only an outside edge, and after an eternity third man steadies himself to claim a massive wicket! Australia, officially, are in strife. 19/3 18.1 to Lee, crashes a huge inside edge back onto the sticks, sending the off stump - and Lee - on their way 119/7
T Mupariwa	3	0	23	0	7.66	(3w)

CJ Chibhabha	3	0	17	0	5.66	(1w)

P Utseya	4	0	28	1	7.00
16.2 to Haddin, pulls that from outside off, up in the air swirling away to the right of Chigumbura who runs round - and he has to be quick - to meet the ball out towards long-on 102/6
T Taibu	2	0	21	0	10.50

H Masakadza	1	0	9	1	9.00
13.4 to Symonds, sharp work from Brendan Taylor as Symonds slipped moving forward while looking to cut. Forget the replays, Symonds looked immediately worried - and so he should have done 86/5


Zimbabwe innings (target: 139 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
V Sibanda	c †Gilchrist b Bracken	23	16	15	5	0	153.33
3.5 in the slot for a swing, but Sibanda's gone this time! A bit of lift and away-movement, and Gilchrist behind the stumps takes a comfortable catch. Still, Sibanda has done his bit. He's given his team the start they needed ... 31/1
BRM Taylor†	not out	60	80	45	4	2	133.33

CJ Chibhabha	c †Gilchrist b Clark	15	13	14	3	0	107.14
6.6 that's a massive steepler - it's gone straight up in the air and almost tops out above the Newlands lights. Any man on the field could have claimed it, but Gilchrist with the gloves steps forward, and is a very relieved man to end that mini-onslaught 54/2
T Taibu	c †Gilchrist b Johnson	0	3	6	0	0	0.00
7.6 no width at all this time. That was a perfect lifter on middle stump and seaming away to boot. Taibu feathers a limp defensive stroke to the keeper, and Australia are starting to assert themselves at last. 55/3
S Matsikenyeri	c †Gilchrist b Clark	3	11	8	0	0	37.50
10.5 goes to hook, a huge top-edge goes high and back down into Gilchrist's hands - the keeper didn't have to do too much there, just hold on 70/4
H Masakadza	lbw b Lee	27		28	2	0	96.42
18.3 dangerous shot - sounded like an edge but there wasn't - Masakadza trying the sweep and paying for it. You don't get plumber and that wasn't a tough decision 123/5
E Chigumbura	not out	4	6	3	0	0	133.33
