... THE CHASE ...

South Africa will back themselves to chase this total while Zimbabwe will need to create early inroads to stay in the game till the end. Chase coming up shortly, stay tuned…

Lungi Ngidi comes up for a flash interview. The pace bowler shares that it's too wet and it was hard to grip the ball. Mentions that there is a bit of a skidding bounce now and it should be pretty good for batting now. Feels that they should chase it down easily.

South Africa were right on the money since the start. They realized very early that the back-of-length deliveries are the way to go on this wicket and kept troubling the Zimbabwean batters with that length. Lungi Ngidi starred with the ball for the Proteas but he was a shade expensive. Wayne Parnell impressed while Kagiso Rabada was rusty.

With the game reduced to nine overs due to rain, Zimbabwe were in a tricky situation having opted to bat first. In their quest to start hitting from the word go, they never got going. Wesley Madhevere and Milton Shumba’s stand propelled Zimbabwe to a total that didn’t look possible at 19-4.

So, Zimbabwe end up with 79 on the board at the end of their nine overs. Temba Bavuma will be pretty happy with his side’s bowling effort at the halfway mark. However, he will hope that the late flourish by Zimbabwe does not come back to haunt them.

Anrich Nortje to Milton Shumba, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A wicket to end the innings then!

Zimbabwe finish on 79 for 5!
