At Bulawayo, October 21. Australia won by 83 runs. Toss: Zimbabwe.
The last one-day encounter between these sides was their World Cup game at Lord's four months earlier, and there were several striking instances of déjà vu. Once more, Australia were asked to bat and, led by another century from Mark Waugh, responded with the same total, 303. Again, Johnson, Zimbabwe's free-flowing left-hander, replied with his own hundred in a losing cause, hitting 12 fours and two sixes. But whereas other Australians had joined Waugh in the run-feast, Johnson played a lone hand. Zimbabwe's next highest score was 27. Waugh's 106, his 13th one-day century, came from 97 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes, while Martyn completed the Australian innings with 57 in 38 balls.
Man of the Match: M. E. Waugh.
