Zimbabwe ensured a historic victory against the mighty Australia to avoid a whitewash in the One Day International match.

This is the first-ever victory for the Zimbabwe side on Australian soil, reports crictracker.com.

Zimbabwe opted to bowl first after winning the toss and the hosts were into early trouble with the loss of skipper Aaron Finch and Steve Smith. Alex Carey and Marcus Stoinis tried to take their time, however, Brad Evans managed to get the duo, while Cameron Green was dismissed for only 3. David Warner was the only batter who got going as he reached his half-century.

Ryan Burl cleaned up the tail and his five-wicket haul meant that Australia were bundled up for 141 in just 31 overs.
