SA vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

7.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Connor Esterhuizen tries to repeat the dose, but it does not come off for him. Cleverly bowled by Newman Nyamhuri as he drags the length back and pushes it wider near the tramline. Takes pace off as well and it grips a bit in the surface. Esterhuizen reaches out to play it away on the off side but is early on the shot. The ball gets skied off a top edge and Ben Curran settles under it at point to gobble it up. End of an 84-run opening stand. 84/1

9.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A fine catch by Ryan Burl. This is turning out to be a good phase in the game for Zimbabwe. Evans rolls his fingers over the ball and bangs it into the deck, on off. Hermann stays back and tries to drag the pull on the leg side, but the ball gets big on him. Spoons it wide of long on, where Burl covers a lot of ground to his left and dives to hold onto the catch. Jordan got away with a mishit earlier in the over but not this time. 93/2

16.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Brad Evans gets the prized scalp. The ploy to stay out of the hitting zone has paid off for Evans. Around the wide guideline on off, on the fuller side. Brevis takes a step across to get closer to the line of the ball and tries to smoke it downtown. The bat turns in his hand and he slices it down to long off, where Sikandar Raza settles under the skier and does the rest. 169/4

12.4 OUT! STUMPED! Raza outfoxes de Zorzi, who looked a bit rusty throughout his stay in the middle. Sikandar sees Tony charge down the ground and cunningly pulls the length back. Gets the ball to spin away from the batter as well and that beats Tony de Zorzi completely. He is already out of the crease and looks to swipe across the line, looking to play it over mid-wicket, but misses. Tadiwanashe Marumani collects the ball calmly and does the rest. Tony de Zorzi does not even bother to retreat and trudges off. South Africa are 122/3. 122/3

17.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rubin Hermann stands there in absolute disbelief, unhappy with the umpire's decision. Rub of the green goes Zimbabwe's way. Angled into the pads, on a good length. Hermann walks inside the line to swipe it away behind square leg, with the angle of the ball. He is beaten for pace, and the ball lobs up off his thigh pad without seemingly having made any contact with the bat or the glove. The keeper, Tadiwanashe Marumani moves to his right and snaffles it comfortably. No reviews in this tri-series and Rubin has no option but to accept the umpire's verdict. 172/5

2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Both openers sent packing inside the first two overs. This is an inauspicious start for Zimbabwe. Jansen pushes a full ball across the right-hander, Bennett shuffles across a long way towards the off side as he premeditates the scoop. He fails to get under it and it pops up off a top edge behind the wicket. The keeper, Connor Esterhuizen calls for it and does the rest by moving to his right. 14/2

0.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Eathan Bosch strikes early. A golden duck for Ben Curran. Bosch hits the hard length, just outside the off stump. Curran hangs back in the crease and attempts the late cut but the ball is too close to his body for that shot. It kicks up a bit as well as it grazes the outside edge before it is held safely by the keeper, Connor Esterhuizen. Zimbabwe are 1/1, chasing 206. 1/1

3 OUT! CAUGHT! Bjorn Fortuin makes no mistake. Duan Jansen will be a relieved man. Bosch dishes out the off-cutter, on a length, on middle. Kaia clears the front leg and has a swipe across the line. The ball grips a bit in the surface and catches the top edge. It is skied towards mid off, where Fortuin gobbles it up. Zimbabwe are 19/3 in a chase of 206. 19/3

3.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Wessly Madhevere could not have picked out the fielder in the deep any better. Jansen bends his back and digs it in short, on off. Wessly swivels to take the short ball on with the pull but the ball comes on slower than he expected. He swings early for the pull and it comes right off the bottom half of the blade. It goes flat and straight down the throat of deep backward square leg, where Dewald Brevis takes the catch around his chest. Zimbabwe are 25/4, needing 181 runs from 97 balls. 25/4

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! It is folding rather quickly now for the Chevrons as the skipper departs. The South Africans have been absolutely electric in the field today. Fortuin lands it in thereabouts of the off stump, full in length. Raza creates room and goes hard at it, attempting to smash it over cover, but loses his shape and mistimes his shot from the bottom end. The ball rifles low to the left of the cover fielder, where Jordan Hermann dives to his left and plucks it just inches above the ground. Zimbabwe find themselves 61/7 in the chase of 206 runs. 61/7

7.2 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! The captain makes an immediate impact. Bowls from around the wicket, and lands it on a fractionally fuller length with a bit of flight given on it. Ryan Burl plays from the crease and has a big swipe across the line, but the ball spins in to beat his inside edge and crashes into the stumps behind. Zimbabwe have lost half their side on 52 runs. They still need 154 runs from 76 balls. 52/5

8.3 OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND CAUGHT! Subrayen gets into the wickets as well. Uses the wider angle, does Prenelan, bowling from around the stumps. He tosses it up and lands it fuller, outside off. Marumani backs away to create room and smash it over extra cover, but ends up airing it off the toe end over cover. Jordan Hermann lurks under the ball and safely takes the catch. Zimbabwe's disappointing day with the bat continues as they fall down to 57/6. 57/6

11.3 OUT! CAUGHT! High but not long enough. Fuller and a bit of air given by Fortuin, on middle. Nyamhuri clears the front leg and has a hoick across the line. Ends up hitting it a lot straighter down towards long on. Eathan Bosch steadies himself on the fence and has room to go behind and get right under the ball. He opts to stay side on and takes the catch over his right shoulder. 81/8

16.1 OUT! HIGH UP AND CAUGHT BEHIND! Maphaka breaks an entertaining partnership for the ninth wicket. Coming around the wicket, Maphaka angles this one into the batter, rolling his fingers over the ball. Matigimu goes for the big hoick but can only get a top edge, and the keeper, Connor Esterhuizen, does the rest, backpedalling a touch before completing a tidy catch. South Africa are on the verge of triumphing in the finale. Zimbabwe are 133/9. 133/9

18 OUT! CAUGHT! And it's all over. SOUTH AFRICA WIN THE TRI-SERIES. They beat Zimbabwe by 48 runs! Length ball, angling away, and Muzarabani goes hunting for the big shot once more, playing it across the line. This time the bat face turns at the point of contact, and the ball balloons off the leading edge, high into the sky toward cover. Bjorn Fortuin at extra cover calls for the catch, sees the ball like a hawk and settles under it to take a fine catch. Jubilation in the South African camp as they have kept their unbeaten record against Zimbabwe intact in T20Is. 157/10
