Raza defends Madhevere after costly final-over call in Zimbabwe's one-wicket ODI loss

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza has firmly backed Tadiwanashe Madhevere following a controversial bowling decision in the third ODI against Australia. Raza chose to give Madhevere the final over instead of experienced spinner Graeme Cremer, who still had an over remaining. Australia managed to chase down the target off that over, winning the match by one wicket. Despite the outcome, Raza expressed full confidence in Madhevere and said he would make the same call again. The defeat highlighted the fine margins of limited-overs cricket and the captain's trust in his younger players.
