Australia secure a dramatic one-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the third ODI at Harare, with one ball to spare, completing a 3-0 series sweep. Zimbabwe bats first after winning the toss and posts 271/8 in 50 overs.
Josh Inglis leads the chase with a century, scoring 103 to keep Australia in contention as the innings becomes difficult and wickets fall. The late-stage finish also features Nathan Ellis, who contributes an unbeaten 36 off 44 balls and, according to reports, helps drive the final chase alongside the lower-order partnership. Zimbabwe push for a first win in the series, but Australia’s final pair holds their nerve to reach the target with 272/9.
Across the outlets, the match narrative focuses on Inglis’s 103, Ellis’s late momentum, and the narrow winning margin. Some coverage emphasizes Ellis’s “last-over” contribution and the final-ball finish, while others foreground the overall series context and the completion of Australia’s clean sweep. All accounts agree on the key result: Australia win by one wicket in Harare to complete the ODI sweep.
