Australia complete a 3-0 ODI sweep of Zimbabwe after winning the third match in Harare by one wicket with a ball to spare. Chasing 272, Josh Inglis scores 103 and Nathan Ellis makes the finishing push with 36 not out as Australia reach the target with 27 runs required when Ellis joins Spencer Johnson at the crease.
Zimbabwe post 271/8 after batting first, with Innocent Kaia making a half-century and captain Sikandar Raza also contributing runs. Reports describe late drama as Australia lose wickets during the chase, including being reduced at stages, but Inglis anchors the innings while wickets keep falling. Brad Evans takes four wickets for Zimbabwe to keep the contest alive. The closing period centres on Ellis and No. 11 Spencer Johnson, who manage the required runs to secure victory.
Across outlets, the main points align: Inglis’ century, Ellis’ highest ODI score, the one-wicket result, and the overall series sweep. Differences are mainly in emphasis, with some coverage highlighting the last-over chase and others focusing on the series context and the contributions of Zimbabwe’s top scorers and Evans.
