Player of the Match

Dewald Brevis

75(32)

Time to sign off - Much like a school kid bolting through the gates the instant the final bell rings, it is time to call the day off here from Windhoek. Jokes apart, South Africa dashed their way to chase 145 and are back in winning ways. Zimbabwe on the other hand, haven't been at their best in the shortest format and need a lot of soul-searching to do in their upcoming games. And that's that from this game. But the tri-series in Namibia rolls on, with the third match pitting a bruised Zimbabwean side against Namibia, who will walk in with their heads held high after that opening day domination over the Proteas. There is a day's breather in between, though, with that game scheduled to be played on Monday, 31st August. The first ball will be bowled at 12 pm GMT. But for now, you can switch tabs to follow all the updates from the 3rd day of the 2nd Test between England and Pakistan, currently underway at Lord's. From here, though, it's goodbye. Take care, cheers!

The victorious captain of South Africa - Bjorn Fortuin says that there was not a lot of time to bounce back from their previous loss, but they did well. About the conditions, he says that the wicket was great and the crowd was excellent as well. On being asked about Brevis, he says that Brevis is a great power hitter and he enjoys watching him play. He ends by saying that they have a bit of rest and they will try and learn from their mistakes.

The captain of Zimbabwe - Sikandar Raza reflects on the defeat. He does not shy away from calling this a tough start to the tri-series. Reflecting on the batting, he feels they finished perhaps 15 runs light, though he is quick to add that even those extra runs may not have mattered much given how ruthlessly South Africa's middle order responded. He is equally honest about the bowling, admitting it fell short of the standard required, and points to a broader issue of the three departments simply not complementing one another on the day. Still, he takes it as a valuable learning curve heading forward, hoping his side can come back and function as a more cohesive unit next time out. When he is asked to pick out the positives, he singles out the Powerplay batting and the finishing as two areas he is genuinely happy with. He praises the partnership stitched together by Marumani and Madhevere, alongside a strong opening effort from Bennett and Ben Curran at the top. It was the middle phase, he explains, where things unraveled, though he is quick to note that the scorecard does not tell the full story either, with a number of boundaries coming off edges rather than clean strokes. On the bowling front specifically, he felt the seamers acquitted themselves well.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Without a doubt, DEWALD BREVIS gets the accolade for his unbeaten and blistering 75* (32). On the overall performance by the team, Brevis says that it was great to get off to a good start, and he is happy with how everyone played. He also speaks of visible improvement across the board today, in the field, with the ball and with the bat alike, and is pleased to see it translate into a result. When asked about the support, he says that the crowd has been great here and ends by saying that he is happy with the win.

... The post-match Presentation ...

Trapped in a spiral - Zimbabwe had a bright start, with Brian Bennett and Ben Curran's positive intent yielding 54 runs in the Powerplay. But the wheels came off as soon as Bennett departed, failing to convert his start. South Africa's spinners then sprang the trap, picking off Zimbabwe's experienced core one by one, Raza and Burl among the casualties, as the innings slid alarmingly from 76/1 to 94/5. Tadiwanashe Marumani provided a brief spark through a brisk 30, but with little support at the other end, wickets kept tumbling and Zimbabwe limped to a below-par 144. South Africa's bowlers, in turn, made light work of a good batting surface. Duan Jansen leaked runs at over 11 an over but redeemed himself with a three-wicket haul, while debutant Eathan Bosch made an immediate impact, finishing with 1/20, and Fortuin, Maphaka and Subrayen were all miserly in their spells, with each bowler claiming at least one wicket.

Missing in action - Zimbabwe's fight was nowhere to be seen today. They did manage a couple of wickets inside the Powerplay, but that proved to be their only real foothold in the contest, as they were unable to stem the flow of runs pouring from both ends from there on. Their lines and lengths were a touch too ordinary throughout, and the ground fielding, too, had its sloppy moments. All told, none of the three departments clicked in sync, and the wheels simply kept coming off as the match progressed.

Blockbuster Brevis - After a bit of an up-and-down patch, Dewald Brevis is finally hitting his straps and showing his true range of form. He matched his 75 from the previous game, and this time got there even quicker, off just 32 balls. On that earlier occasion, though, the Proteas still fell short, a case of one man fighting a lone battle with next to no support elsewhere. This time, the story flipped entirely. He had all the backing he needed from the top order, a platform first marvelously laid by Jordan Hermann and Lhuan-dre Pretorius through the Powerplay. Brevis took the bowlers to the cleaners, launching more sixes on his own than Zimbabwe managed across their entire innings, a stat that ultimately made all the difference by the end of the day.

A Protean mayhem in Windhoek - After swallowing a stinging defeat to Namibia not more than 24 hours ago, this is every bit a statement win from South Africa. They simply outclassed Zimbabwe across all three departments to register their first win of the tri-series. They also maintain a clean slate versus Zimbabwe in the shortest format. The Chevrons, on the other hand, were nowhere near competitive enough to even pose a challenge. They tried to break through the wall in front of them, only to find themselves bounced right off it instead.

FOUR! The onslaught continues! Too full, too straight, Dewald Brevis picks it well and hits it hard over mid off for a boundary.

South Africa need just 21 runs to win from 48 balls. And with the way Brevis is batting right now, it looks to be the case of not more than a couple of overs. Newman Nyamhuri is brought back on. 1-0-15-1 so far.

11.1

Graeme Cremer To Dewald Brevis

SIX! Fifty up for Dewald Brevis off just 24 balls! Fullish, on off, Dewald Brevis stays in his crease and powers it high and over the bowler's head for a biggie. Back-to-back fifties from him and he will look to get the job done for his team now as South Africa need 32 runs to win.

Rubin Hermann is in at number 5.

The 46-run partnership is broken, but it seems too little too late now, honestly. Maybe a couple of more wickets in a quick span can make it interesting.

9.1

Sikandar Raza To Dewald Brevis

How did that miss the stumps? Rifled in on a length, drifting in around middle.

7.5

Sikandar Raza To Dewald Brevis

Sikandar Raza To Tony de Zorzi

A bit too full on leg, clipped with ease through mid-wicket for a single.

7.3

Sikandar Raza To Tony de Zorzi

SIX! THAT'S OUTTA HERE! The no-look shot from Brevis. Fuller leg break, on middle and leg. Dewald Brevis picks the length early, clears the front leg, keeps his head as still as possible and launches it miles up in the air, dismissing it over the roof.

South Africa are 61/2 at the end of Powerplay. Graeme Cremer comes into the attack now.

5.5

Brad Evans To Lhuan-dre Pretorius OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BY BURL! Evans lands a big blow in his very first over. He slams the deck hard, short on off, and it rears up a bit, arriving at an uncomfortable height. Lhuan-dre Pretorius still goes through his shot, attempting to heave it over mid on, but shanks it off the inner half and can only offer a simple, straightforward catch to Ryan Burl at mid on. South Africa are 61/2, needing 84 runs from 85 balls.

5.4

Brad Evans To Lhuan-dre Pretorius

A lot fuller and around off, Lhuan-dre Pretorius shuffles a bit across and carves it down to mid on.

FOUR! Such a glorious shot from the southpaw! On a back of a length and outside off, Lhuan-dre Pretorius weighs back, stands deep in the crease and steers it marvelously through cover and point for a boundary.

Gets a fat inside edge and the ball rifles past the leg stump and beats Tadiwanashe Marumani, the keeper's dive to his left for a boundary. 12 runs off the over.

4.5

Blessing Muzarabani To Dewald Brevis

A yard behind fuller length, on the stumps. Dewald presents straight bat face and knocks it to mid on.

4.3

Blessing Muzarabani To Dewald Brevis

Outside off, on a good length. Dewald Brevis square cuts it off the back foot, but finds the fielder at cover-point. Another one timed extremely well from Brevis.

4.2

Blessing Muzarabani To Dewald Brevis

Back of a length, outside off, Dewald Brevis plays it on the rise. A good-looking back foot punch, but straight to cover.

4.1

Blessing Muzarabani To Dewald Brevis

FOUR! Brevis looks in a no-nonsense mood! A full ball from Blessing, on middle and leg. Dewald Brevis plays a fluent flick off the pads and pierces the gap between mid on and deep square leg for a boundary. Impeccable timing and placement.

On a length, on top of middle, Brevis knocks it across to widish mid-wicket for a single.

Lhuan-dre Pretorius takes the charge from the other end, but Brad Evans dives forward and underarms the throw to the bowling end. However, he misses his shy and Pretorius plants his bat back into the crease.

3.3

Newman Nyamhuri To Dewald Brevis

SIX! No sighters needed! Back of a length, outside off, Dewald Brevis pounces on the width offered and hammers it with a flat-batted angle, dumping it over the long off fence. Brevis starts from where left off in the previous game.

Jordan Hermann's cameo comes to an end. Dewald Brevis walks in at number 3.

3.2

Newman Nyamhuri To Jordan Hermann OUT!

OUT! IN THE AIR AND CAUGHT! Newman makes amends immediately and gets the reward. Bangs it very hard into the pitch, short and angling in on top of off. Jordan Hermann hops in the air to deal with the extra bounce and looks to carve it over point but the ball bobbles off the higher portion of the bat and lobs to the right of extra cover. Wessly Madhevere keeps his eyes locke on the ball as he runs to his right and takes a fine running catch. South Africa's opening partnership lasts 32 runs. They need 103 runs to win.

3.1

Newman Nyamhuri To Jordan Hermann

FOUR! Dismissed from his presence! A bit of a loosener from Nyamhuri. Full toss outside off. Hermann absolutely blasts it through the cover and point gap for a boundary.

Tosses it up, very full and outside off, Jordan Hermann carves it to cover where the fielder fumbles a bit. Lhuan-dre Pretorius is already halfway through for a single and the fielder redeems the ball and throws it to the bowling end, but misses his shy as Pretorius scoots back.

1.5

Wessly Madhevere To Lhuan-dre Pretorius

A chance floats down in the deep! Full and wide outside off, and Pretorius shuffles across his stumps to launch this one high, sending it toward Burl's right at long off. Burl covers the ground well, diving full stretch, and even manages to get both hands under it, but the ball squirms free at the last moment. A single is all that comes of it.

0.4

Wessly Madhevere To Lhuan-dre Pretorius

A full ball, on middle, Lhuan-dre Pretorius advances and carves it back to the bowler.

0.3

Wessly Madhevere To Jordan Hermann

Full around middle and leg. Hermann eases it to mid on for a quick single.

0.2

Wessly Madhevere To Jordan Hermann

A bit of an appeal for LBW, but not given. Height, maybe. Angles it on a length, around middle and leg. Jordan Hermann hangs deep inside the crease to whip it across but plays all around it and is struck hard on the front pad.

0.1

Wessly Madhevere To Lhuan-dre Pretorius

On a length from around the stumps, drifting in. Lhuan-dre Pretorius hangs deep and swipes it to deep mid-wicket for a run.
