OUT! Caught. Jack Wildermuth to Wellington Masakadza. Slower ball short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, by Stoinis. Slower ball bouncer, and Wellington cannot generate any pace on the ball. Looks to flat-bat it down the ground, but mid off runs back and pouches it.
Zimbabwe have something to bowl at. They struggled in the first ten overs, but Mire, Moor, and Waller stepped on the gas in the latter stages. Good effort in the field by Australia. Bowled tidily and fielded pretty well too. They will expect to chase down this total.
Jack Wildermuth to Brandon Mavuta. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed to extra cover for 1 run, shy attempt by Finch.
Jack Wildermuth to Wellington Masakadza. Slower length ball, wide outside off stump on the back foot cutting, to point for 1 run, fielded by Head.

FOUR! Jack Wildermuth to Brandon Mavuta. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. Mavuta carves away his first ball in T20Is to the fence. Wide full toss, and it is taken advantage of. No stopping that.
OUT! Bowled. Andrew Tye to Solomon Mire. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed to. Comprehensively bowled! Mire wasn't expecting the quicker delivery from Tye, and is late in playing the shot. The ball skids past the edge of the bat to demolish the stumps. End of a decent knock from Zimbabwe's anchor.
OUT! Run Out. Andrew Tye to Solomon Mire. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to long off for 1 run, fielded by Agar, by Tye. Wickets beginning to tumble. Squirted down the ground, and they risk a second run to get Mire back on strike. Tiripano is slow in getting back, and doesn't put a dive in either. Out by a distance.
Andrew Tye to Solomon Mire. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to extra cover for no runs, fielded by Finch.

FOUR! Jhye Richardson to Malcolm Waller. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. He goes again.

SIX! Andrew Tye to Solomon Mire. Slower length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Agricultural stuff from Mire.

FOUR! Andrew Tye to Solomon Mire. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. Mire keeps going hard. Streaky runs here. Attempts a pull shot, and top edges over short third man for four.
OUT! Caught. Andrew Tye to Elton Chigumbura. Short, outside off stump on the back foot hooking, Spliced in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg, by Richardson. Chigumbura gone.

OUT! Caught. Jhye Richardson to Peter Moor. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep point, by Maddinson.

The Aussies stumble to their target. Zimbabwe can be proud of pushing their opponents all the way. The hosts got better and better as the games went on in this series. They gave away too many easy runs in the middle overs today, where Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head accumulated quickly, and they ended up having to do too much in the end. The most competitive game in this series, though. A super watch for all the fans.
Join us for the final on Sunday, where Australia will battle it out with Pakistan once more.

Magnificent effort from Wellington on the boundary edge. Pouches the catch, but is overbalancing past the rope, so has to chuck it back in. Had that been a wicket, it would've caused huge drama.

What a finish we have on our hands.

They are not making it easy for Australia to get across the line. Bumper from Tiripano, and Maddinson doesn't look comfortable. Took his eye of the ball, and swiped the bat in hope. It lobbed up off the splice, and Blessing came round from short fine leg to hang on.
