Renshaw's century powers Australia to win over Zimbabwe in 1st ODI

Renshaw's ton seals the win

Australia's cricket team is touring Zimbabwe for a One-Day International series in September. In the first match, as reported by Yahoo Sports, opener Matthew Renshaw scored a century that powered Australia to victory over Zimbabwe. The source does not provide the exact final scores or further match details, but confirms Renshaw's innings was the decisive factor. The series continues with a second ODI scheduled in Harare.

Labuschagne left out of the ODI squad

Meanwhile, cricket.com.au reports that veteran Australian Test batter Marnus Labuschagne was dropped from the national ODI squad last week for the tours of Zimbabwe and, subsequently, South Africa. The 32-year-old Queensland captain acknowledged the criticism over his recent form, saying he has not been performing to his own standard in the last few years. Instead of touring, he played in Queensland's One-Day Cup opener domestically, aiming to rebuild form ahead of October's Test series in South Africa.

Australia's ODI squad

Australia's ODI squad for the Zimbabwe and South Africa tours includes: Mitchell Marsh, Pat Cummins, Xavier Bartlett, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Joel Davies, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Oliver Peake, Matthew Renshaw, Billy Stanlake and Adam Zampa. Labuschagne is not part of this list, though he remains in Australia's Test squad for the South Africa series starting in October.
