Earlier in the day, the South African bowlers were on song as they bundled restricted the visitors to a small total. Dane Paterson and Robbie Frylinck were the pick of the bowlers. Sean Williams top scored for the hosts but his effort went in vain. Stay tuned for the presentation in a while.
The hosts would have had a real chance had they taken Klaasen's catch when was on 1 but that was not to be. Taylor dropped him and Klaasen made them pay.

South Africa have sealed the series with a match to go. They have chased down the paltry target quite easily in the end. However, it was not how easy how it reads on the scorecard.

Du Plessis too departed soon and at that time Zimbabwe must have felt they were in the game.
