South Africa 2, Zimbabwe 0

Scorer: Sanjay Murari | Commentator: Siddhartha Talya

Zimbabwe have been knocked out, the most one-sided game this competition so far. A walloping. Levi's back to form, South Africa's seamers had an excellent time. Zimbabwe are capable of doing better, and they'll want to forget this quickly. We'll get you the presentation details in just a bit.

Taylor: "It's the end of the road, they showed how classy a bowling line-up they are. We are a team that are going to bounce back sharply, we've improved a lot over the last 24 months."

AB: "Very happy with the start. I back our pace bowlers to do well on this kind of deck. Hopefully its the same for the next game. Richard and Hash started really well. We are definitely prepared for whatever the conditions may be. We've improved a lot facing spin in these conditions, so can't wait to take on what's coming our way."

Kallis is Man of the Match: "My job was made easier by the early wickets, I just came on and kept the pressure. There was a little bit of carry in the wicket which surprised us a little bit."

That's all from us, folks. Two games tomorrow: Bangladesh take on New Zealand, and Afghanistan face England. Do join us then. Firdose Moonda's report is getting updated here. Goodbye.
