Matt Renshaw won the Player of the Match award for his maiden ODI century. He scored 109 off 94 balls at a strike rate of 115.96. With the ball, Nathan Ellis recorded his maiden fifer, taking 5\/31.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Zimbabwe were nowhere near Australia at any point. That will put them under pressure, going forward into the second game. The second ODI will start at 1 PM IST on Friday at Harare Sports Club.
