Duminy propels South Africa to series win

South Africa win by eight runs and win series 2-0 Another good effort from Zimbabwe, their batsmen have been mighty impressive but their pacemen suffered. JP Duminy found some of his best form to carry South Africa to a score that looked a long way ahead of what Zimbabwe could manage but the tourists almost pulled off a shock. Nitin will have his bulletin ready soon to tell you all the details, so make sure you check that out. That's all from us, thanks for all the emails, I hope you'll join us on October 15 for the 1st ODI.

Theron to Taibu, 1 run, excellent bowling again, consistently finding the yorker and not much Taibu can do

Theron to Taibu, 2 runs, how they have managed two there I don't know, Taibu bunted a full toss to long-on and scampered back for two

Theron to SW Masakadza, OUT, gone! Middle and leg stump out the ground! Masakadza gave himself plenty of room but couldn't connect as the yorker splattered the stumps. Dot ball as well

  • South Africa favourites to wrap up series

    Going into the final Twenty20 in Kimberley, South Africa look good to wrap up the series with their superior batting, but they'll be wary of the lack of depth in their seam attack. Zimbabwe's major worry is their bowling.
