"Australia stun Zimbabwe" ? -4th Match, Group B,Newlands, Cape Town, on 12 September 2007

Yes, you are reading right "Australia stun Zimbabwe" by performing like a minnow in their 1st Twenty Twenty (T20,Twenty20) World cup match, and finally handover the match to Zimbabwe. Riding on African Sprite, Zimbabwe punched the Australian's by defeating them by 5 wickets with one ball left of their quota of 20 overs. All round performance by Zimbabwe outplayed mighty Australian side who before the start of Twenty Twenty World (T20,Twenty20) cup were the favourite of winning the trophy.

BRM Taylor was the hero of Zimbabwe win over Australia with unbeaten 60 of 80 balls, sure my man of the match.
