Commentary

  • 42.3
    Blessing Muzarabani b Keshav Maharaj 10 (9)

    OUT! Bowled. Keshav Maharaj to Blessing Muzarabani. Stock ball half volley, off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. Fuller from Maharaj and this time he hits the stumps. That's his 5-for, very well deserved in this innings.

    South Africa complete a very dominating performance, winning inside five sessions. Although Zimbabwe were never expected to win this match, they will consider this performance as disappointing and feel they should've scored more runs considering their good bowling performance on Day 1. The two five wicket hauls from Morne Morkel and Keshav Maharaj and eight catches in the match for the "better-than-average" stand-in wicket keeper AB de Villiers are the key performances in this game for the Proteas.
