A comfortable win for South Africa who should be very happy with the batting performance in the first two matches but they will have to do a lot of work in the bowling department.

Zimbabwe will take some plus points to bed tonight, the batting showed a marked improvement especially the running between the wickets and the rotating of the strike in the latter part of the innings.

So South Africa win the series as we head for the third and final match tomorrow at the same venue, please do join us then.

And before we do go, we wish Loots Bosman a good and speedy recovery.
