Australia's Twenty20 World Cup campaign is threatening to implode after a horror 23-run upset loss to Zimbabwe in Colombo.
Set 170 runs for victory after winning the toss, Australia slumped to a dismal 4-29 inside the powerplay and gave Zimbabwe, 11th on the ICC rankings, reason to dream.
Glenn Maxwell (31 off 32 balls) and top-scorer Matthew Renshaw (65 off 43 balls) spearheaded the rescue mission with a 77-run stand in pursuit of Zimbabwe's 2-169.
