Zimbabwe stand-in skipper Sikandar Raza described their stunning 23-run win over Australia as "unbelievable", saying the culture, unity and environment built within the squad made the result possible. Just to see it from outside, I was extremely proud, and on top of that, a win. "But the way we came and the way we bowled, the way we started, the way we fielded every catch, some of the boundary stops, it's just unbelievable. It looked like the boys wanted it, and I think they really did and they deserved to win today." Injury concerns continue to haunt Australia, with Mitchell Marsh sidelined due to a groin issue, while Tim David returned from a hamstring strain.
