12.1
0
Kwena Maphaka to Sikandar Raza
A wide yorker, landing it perfectly and just inside the tramline. Sikandar Raza fails to squeeze it away.
12.2
1
Kwena Maphaka to Sikandar Raza
Hard length, angled wide of the off stump. Raza slashes it away between deep backward point and deep third, but for just a single.
12.3
1
Kwena Maphaka to Newman Nyamhuri
A full toss on off, punched gently in front of mid off for a quick single.

Kwena Maphaka to Sikandar Raza
Raza certainly doesn't agree with the umpire's call here. Slower one, very full and flirting with the tramline outside off. Raza lets it go and is perplexed that the umpire didn't call it a wide.

Kwena Maphaka to Sikandar Raza
WIDE! This one is pretty clear-cut. Another slower yorker attempted by Maphaka, but this is spilled beyond the tramline.

Kwena Maphaka to Sikandar Raza
WIDE! And again! Full and wide, pushed well beyond the tramline and Raza leaves it alone.
12.5
1
Kwena Maphaka to Sikandar Raza
Pace off again, this time shorter and on leg. Raza nurdles it behind square leg and rotates strike.

Kwena Maphaka to Newman Nyamhuri
A skiddy bumper over leg stump, Newman Nyamhuri does well to duck under it. 87 needed now off 42 balls.
13.1
6
Bjorn Fortuin to Sikandar Raza
SIX! That's been whacked away, and up comes the 100 for Zimbabwe. Too short and angled into the batter, Sikandar Raza uses the angle and hangs back before swinging it over deep square leg for a huge six.
13.2
W
Bjorn Fortuin to Sikandar Raza
OUT! STUMPED! Bjorn Fortuin gets immediate revenge on his opposite number. Fortuin holds this one back a touch and sees Sikandar Raza stepping down the track. Fortuin slows it up, bowling it flatter and well wide of the off stump. Raza loses his shape in trying to reach the ball and is well outside his crease when Connor Esterhuizen whips off the bails.Â

Bjorn Fortuin to Kundai Matigimu
Drifted into the pads, Matigumu swings across the line but gets an inside edge onto the pads.
13.3
1
Bjorn Fortuin to Kundai Matigimu
Tossed up on middle and leg, this is swept away on the bounce to deep backward square leg for a single.
13.4

Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
Nicely flighted, at the stumps, Nyamhuri swings across the line but gets an inside edge past leg stump and down to fine leg for a couple of runs.

Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
Full and on the pads, clipped away past square leg for a run.

Prenelan Subrayen to Kundai Matigimu
Tossed up outside off, turning back in. Matigimu pushes it out on the off side for a single.
14.3
2
Prenelan Subrayen to Newman Nyamhuri
Unlucky for the batter. Floated up on the stumps, Newman Nyamhuri steps out and drills it at a rate of knots. However, he hits it too straight and the ball smashes into the stumps at the other end, deflecting down to long on for two runs.
14.4
1
Prenelan Subrayen to Newman Nyamhuri
A full ball around off, Nyamhuri chips it down to long on for a single.

Prenelan Subrayen to Kundai Matigimu
SIX! Wow, that's come out of nowhere! On a good length, turning into leg. Kundai Matigimu sits down and just lays into the slog sweep, hitting it high and over cow corner for a biggie.
14.6
0
Prenelan Subrayen to Kundai Matigimu
Nagging length at the stumps, tucked away just into the leg side. The bowler is quick to cut it off.
15.1
6
Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
SIX! Number 10 and 11 showing the top order how it's done! Fuller one at the stumps, Newman Nyamhuri sits down and flat-bats the slog sweep in front of deep mid-wicket for a maximum.
15.2
2
Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
Shorter in length, floated outside off, this is sliced away over the point region for a couple of runs.
15.3
0
Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
PUT DOWN! Can barely call it a catching chance, as it was hit really hard. Full and straight, Nyamhuri pummels it straight back to the bowler. Bjorn Fortuin gets both hands on it but it doesn't stick, and that will sting for a bit as well.
15.4
4
Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
FOUR! Length ball around off, Nyamhuri brings out the reverse sweep now, hitting it high and down to the vacant backward point fence for a boundary.
15.5

Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
Quicker one, fired well wide of the off stump. Nyamhuri leave it alone.
15.6
2
Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
DROPPED! That should have been game, set and match. Flighted ball, Newman Nyamhuri swings across the line but gets more height than distance. The ball sails down to deep mid-wicket, where the fielder tries to reverse cup it but spills it. Two taken.
16.1
1
Kwena Maphaka to Kundai Matigimu
Good length, angled across off, Matigimu nudges it down to deep third and turns the strike over.

Kwena Maphaka to Newman Nyamhuri
Back of a length, following the batter down leg. Nyamhuri looks to pull but miscues it badly towards the bowler.
16.3

Kwena Maphaka to Newman Nyamhuri
Excellent running! Fuller one at the stumps, swung away off the inside edge and down to deep backward square leg for a couple of runs.

Kwena Maphaka to Newman Nyamhuri
Slower one, bowled back of a length and around off. Nyamhuri swings at it and gets an outside edge down to deep third for a run.
16.6
2
Kwena Maphaka to Kundai Matigimu
Oh, a misfield and the extra run is taken. Full and straight, jammed down through mid-wicket. The on-rushing fielder fails to pick it up cleanly and concedes the second run.
17.1

Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
A big swing and a miss! Floated up wide outside off, Newman Nyamhuri looks to wallop it away but only connects with thin air.
17.2

Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
Quicker one, wide outside off and drifting in late. Nyamhuri leaves it alone.
17.3

Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
Darted down leg, Nyamhuri goes for a reverse dab but misses and the ball goes past the keeper as well. It rolls down to deep third after deflecting off the keeper and the batters get two byes,

Bjorn Fortuin to Newman Nyamhuri
OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, the Proteas manage to close things out, and South Africa win by 43 runs. Bjorn Fortuin drags the length back, bowling it into the surface and around off. Newman Nyamhuri backs away a bit, lifting it high and down to long off. Eathan Bosch comes in from the deep and takes a good catch as Fortuin ends with a four-fer. Zimbabwe are bowled out for 142.
