Chevrons hammered again

Australia 229 for 2 (Finch 172, Short 46) beat Zimbabwe 129 for 9 (Tye 3-12, Agar 2-16) by 100 runs
The Zimbabwe national cricket team were subjected to Aaron Finch’s brutality after the Australian opening batsmen and captain plundered 172 runs at Harare Sports Club to set up a 100 run win during the second match of their T-20 series that also involves Pakistan.

After they were sent in to bat Australia got off to a blistering start and never abated as Finch attacked every delivery with the intent of either a six or a boundary.

The Zimbabwe bowlers that include among others John Nyumbu and Chris Mpofu, who had replaced Kyle Jarvis from the first match, struggled to contain Finch with D’Arcy Short giving his captain the strike at every opportunity.
