Six runs. SIX! Nathan Ellis to Sikandar Raza. Reverse Swing-In full toss, down leg side on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over fine leg for 6 runs. That's the end of the first innings, with Zimbabwe posting a competitive total of 169 for 2. Brian Bennett anchored the innings with a solid 64, playing a crucial role in guiding his side to this score, while Tadiwanashe Marumani and Ryan Burl provided valuable support with 35 runs each. Australia's bowlers put in a disciplined effort, with Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green picking up a wicket apiece. Can Zimbabwe defend this total, or will Australia chase it down? The run chase gets underway shortly.
