Harare (AFP) - Elton Chigumbura hit an unbeaten half-century as Zimbabwe pulled off a shock three wicket win over Australia in a one-day triangular series match on Sunday.

Chigumbura finished on 52 not out as Zimbabwe chased down a target of 210 to win with two overs to spare to record just their second ever victory over Australia.

Zimbabwe's only previous win over the Australians was at Trent Bridge in the 1983 World Cup.
