SECOND INNINGS:
Zimbabwe needed 179 runs from 20.0 overs to win
Code:
0.1  Mohammed Shami to Chamu Chibhabha, Slapped away through the offside for a glorious boundary! Lovely shot. The captain's fuming now and removes a man from third slip to cover that region.  (4)
0.2  Mohammed Shami to Chamu Chibhabha, Scorching bouncer, the batsman clearly didn't expect that and just sways out of the way at the last moment!  (0)
0.3  Mohammed Shami to Chamu Chibhabha, And that's a slower ball gone horribly wrong. Sits up and begs to be smacked for four, which it promptly is.  (4)
0.4  Mohammed Shami to Chamu Chibhabha, And time for the reverse-sweep! Quite a daring and often needless shot if you ask me, but the batsman pulls it off well enough to get two more.  (2)
0.5  Mohammed Shami to Chamu Chibhabha, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run.  (0)
0.6  Mohammed Shami to Chamu Chibhabha, Full, almost yorker-length delivery outside offstump. Th batsman drives it hard and square of the wicket. Two more.  (2)

Brilliant win that. I don't think we need to change the team atm. I think we need to give Uthappa one more chance. And please do not change any batting positions.

Tim+Southee+Australia+v+New+Zealand+2015+ICC+5FXOwaKD548l.jpg

Tim Southee produced a much needed spell with the bowl which was efficient enough to keep the match in Kiwi's control as it involved dismissal of three important Aussie batsmen.
Overs 4.0 | Maidens 0 | Runs 34 | Wickets 3 | Economy 3


Toss - New Zealand, who chose bat

Result - New Zealand won by 22 runs

Player of the match - Brendon McCullum

Points - New Zealand 2, Australia 0


@AB the smasher @Aravind. @Saroj padhy @SAM.
 
Baz & Munro were just fabulous & they were well supported by our other batsman. Finally Kane is scoring runs. Our bowlers did a decent job on a flat track, but experienced Southee bowled a great spell which led to our 22 run victory.
 
This is what POOL B looks like after four rounds. New Zealand & India have qualified for Super-Sixes, Zimbabwe & Afghanistan are out. Meanwhile, Winner of Australia v Pakistan match will directly progress.
