    0.4 Utseya strikes! The move to open with the spinner works! Boom Bust for Bosman! Just slapped it straight to mid-off! 6/1
    8.2 Taylor strikes! Smith has gone trying to hack this into the midwicket stands, got a top edge and Cremer made a simple catch look very difficult before holding on at long-on 74/3

    2.6 gone! Lovely bowling! Just held it back a fraction, touch of air and dip, Ingram ran at it, and past it as he was done in the flight, went on and clipped middle 29/2

    16.2 bowled him! Off stump out of the ground! Miller attempted a big swish into the leg side but found nothing but thin air and Masakadza leaps to celebrate 143/4
    17.1 Kuhn falls now, sacrificing himself for the cause. Important strike there from Mpofu, found a decent length and line, Kuhn got a big top edge and was caught by Taylor on the long-on boundary 150/5
    18.6 Peterson tries to reverse-dink this but it's a slower ball and he ends up lifting a gentle catch to short third man 171/6

    1.4 gone this time! The fun is over for Masakadza! Fuller ball, aimed a booming drive down the ground but it got a bit high on the bat and Botha held to a tough chance running back from mid-off 15/1
    16.1 all over for Taylor! That could be it for Zimbabwe! Taylor was trying to land his inside-out drive but got too much height and not enough power on it, there was almost a collision on the cover boundary but Theron held on firm 146/4
    12.6 Chibhabha falls! Big strike for South Africa! Botha round the wicket and landing a length ball that Chibhabha tried to swing into the stands over cow corner, didn't quite time it and ended up caught on the boundary 122/2
    14.4 Coventry falls! Important strike for South Africa, just got defeated by some extra spin as he gave himself room to hit into the leg side, ended up following the ball and lifting it straight to mid-off 137/3
    18.5 oh no! Suicide for Chigumbura! Smashes a full toss out to Theron at deep point, a single was all that was on offer but he tried to come back for the second and never looked like making it. Big blow, he was well set 179/6
    17.2 another one goes, Dabengwa this time, trying to land a booming drive down the ground, doesn't get hold of it and Duminy snaffles the chance on the long-on boundary 152/5

Match Notes

  • Duminy propels South Africa to series win

    JP Duminy smashed Zimbabwe's insipid lengths to all corners in an entertaining, unbeaten 95 to launch his side to 194, a total that his bowling colleagues defended after a few hiccups, to give their side a 2-0 series win.

  • 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.
