SA vs ZIM Match 2 Live Score - Windhoek (29 August 2026)

Bangs it on a length and gets it to nip back in. Raza comes forward and rides the bounce and chops it into covers.

Nips in from off to middle and leg, on a fullish length. Raza tries to turn it across into the leg side, but plays over the line and is struck hard on the front pad. The ball rolls to square leg for a couple of leg byes. A mild appeal for LBW, but the umpire just walks away. Clearly going down leg, this one.

Bends his back and hits the deck really hard, does Eathan, outside off. Raza hops off to ride the lifter and fends it off his gloves. The ball drops safely around backward point.

Nagging length, outside off, scythed away to backward point.

On a back of a length, outside the off stump, jagging back. Sikandar Raza stands tall and tries to play the square cut through point, but ekes out an inside edge past the leg stump toward deep fine leg for a single.

Good gas! Smart bowling from Bosch. He spots Burl dancing down the track and looking to flat bat it downtown. So he bangs in a sharp bumper around off and Ryan gets beaten by the extra zip and lift off the surface. 0/17 in 3 overs for him so far on debut.

 Maphaka is back on! Short in length, wide on off, Raza stands in his crease and has a mighty swing at it to access the off side, only to miss out.

Hard length and around the fourth stump, Raza sways out of the way and improvises a ramp down toward third man. Subrayen, patrolling the deep, races to his left and dives full stretch near the ropes, doing well to keep the ball in play and save his side a couple of runs.

 Back of a length, outside off, skidding through. Raza stabs it towards backward point and they hustle for a single. The fielder attacks the ball and is quick to pick and throw to the bowling end, but misses his shy as Sikandar skates through.

Short of a good lengta. Raza backs away for room and dabs it towards backward point for a single.

Slower one, short and just around the off stump. It arrives at an awkward height towards Raza who leans back to play the square cut on the off side. However, the ball beats his bat by a kitten-whisker as it carries through to the keeper.

Shoots in a full ball at the pads, Raza whips it between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for a couple of runs.

Short of a good length, outside off, tapped off the back foot towards backward point for a single.

OUT! SPECTACULAR CATCH! That's a screamer from Jordan Hermann. That was travelling at the rate of knots but excellent reflexes in the fielder there, and that earns Bosch his maiden T20I wicket. Short and outside off, generous width on offer, Raza carves it hard but gets it in the air, sending it toward extra cover's left. Jordan Hermann reads the trajectory to perfection, throws himself full stretch in that direction, and clings on brilliantly with both hands. From 76/1, Zimbabwe lose their skipper now and slip down to 92/4, with 34 balls remaining in the first innings.

Good length, angled in. Madhevere looks to pull, but gets cramped for room. He gets an inside edge and the ball rolls to the left of the keeper.

Beaten! Hammers it on a hard length, outside the off stump. Wessly Madhevere tries to flay it over point, only to get bean by extra bounce and zip.

Angled into the body, nudged across to square leg for a single.

Digs this one in short around off through a well disguised slower ball. Burl shuffles across his stumps to help it away down to deep fine leg for a single.

OUT! OUTFOXED! Wicket number 2 for Prenelan Subrayen. Coming around the wicket, this one is fired in full at off stump. Burl looks to drive it straight back down the ground, but gets a thick inside edge instead, and the ball crashes into middle stump which cartwheels. No real impact from Burl as well. Zimbabwe have spiralled down to 94/5 in 15.1 overs.

Zipped into the batter, on a length, from around the stump. Tadiwanashe Marumani hangs back and knocks it through mid off and extra cover for a run.

FOUR! Not exactly where he wanted, but he will take it. Tossed up, outside off stump, Madhevere drops to one knee for the reverse sweep but gets a faint inside edge. The keeper, wrong footed by the line, cannot get across in time either, and it races away down to the deep fine leg fence for four.

100 UP FOR ZIMBABWE! A touch short, on off, Wessly Madhevere presses back and knocks it down to long on for a single.

SIX! Geez, that has gone many a mile. Zimbabwe need more of those to get past 150. Dropped into the slot, full on middle and leg. Tadiwanashe Marumani feasts on the half-volley, slog sweeping it powerfully behind deep mid-wicket for a six.

Drags the length back, on off and middle, Marumani knocks it off the back foot to cover.

Short of a length, around middle and leg, Madhevere rocks back and cuts it away toward backward point.

Full and zooting into leg stump, Madhevere goes for a wild slog across the line, only to drag an inside edge away to short fine leg for a single.

On the stumps, full and quick, reverse swept straight towards backward point.

SIX! Quick hands from Marumani. These are precious runs for Zimbabwe. A shade short in length, angled into the batter. Tadiwanashe Marumani picks the length in a trice and nails the pull shot, dumping the ball behind deep backward square leg for another half a dozen runs.

Too full around off, smashed towards Tony de Zorzi at extra cover for a quick single.

Overpitched by Bjorn, outside off, Wessly Madhevere walks a bit forward and clobbers it on the bounce towards Brevis at long off. One run taken. 9 runs off the over. Bjorn Fortuin is done with his spell with figures reading 1/25.

Straight up, but drops between the troika in the deep! Bowls from around the wicket, a slower ball landing on a length around off. Madhevere gets it off the toe end of the bat, and it floats away high into the air. Three fielders, Bosch racing in from deep cover point, plus the men stationed at backward point and extra cover, all converge on the ball, but none quite makes it in time, and it drops agonizingly right in between each one of them.

Two is the call and they will get it. Hits the deck hard, around middle and leg. This is pulled away by Tadiwanashe from the inner half to the right of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. A bit of a wayward throw from the deep allows them to scamper across. Tadiwanashe Marumani hobbles a bit as he completes the second run and the physio is out to check him up.

 Low full toss, Marumani knocks it away to the left of long on. He wastes no time calling for a couple, and completes the second run with plenty to spare.

FOUR! Blazes the loosener away! Juicy full toss, outside off, Tadiwanashe Marumani stays deep inside the crease and spanks it past cover-point for a cracking boundary.

SIX​​! Marumani is playing a gem of a knock here for his side.

No run, that is punched off the back foot but straight to the fielder.
