Match Summary

Brian Bennett’s 63 innings and Ryan's cameo og 36 runs, Zimbabwe scored 144 

Zimbabwe lost early wickets and found it difficult to gain momentum. On a slightly two-paced pitch, the hosts could only muster 138/8, despite a late cameo from Ryan Burl (27 off 17) and a tough 42 (35) from captain Sikandar Raza. Lungi Ngidi (2/21) and Tabraiz Shamsi (2/26) led the way in South Africa's disciplined bowling. Kwena Maphaka, a rookie left-armer, also made an impression with his control and speed.

Rassie and Ryan's explosive inning, South Africa won just 17.2

Reeza Hendricks' strong start (44 off 33) and Rassie van der Dussen's calm, undefeated 45 helped South Africa easily chase the goal in reply. SA never looked pressured and won with 16 balls remaining, even though they lost a few wickets in the middle.

Zimbabwe Almost Out, High Chance Final Between South Africa And New Zealand

After this loss, Zimbabwe was almost out of the Zimbabwe tri-series final. High chance that the final will be played between South Africa and New Zealand.
