Pitch Report

"It's cloudy and it's cold. 65m and 75m dimensions either side. This pitch is the same that New Zealand scored 170 plus. It's a short boundary, there's strong breeze coming up. There's a good grass covering on this track, from the other side, there will be a bit of turn with the cracks on the deck. 175 or 180 is a par score, with the cold conditions, there won't be much swing."

Commentary

4:27 PM local time (7:57 PM IST): So, with two league phase games to go, South Africa and New Zealand have booked their places in the final! Zimbabwe now have one match to play against New Zealand, while the Proteas have theirs as well, on Tuesday, here in Harare. The action starts at 1:00 PM local time (4:30 PM IST). For now, it is Pradeep and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Rassie van der Dussen [South Africa captain]: "We were good in pretty much every aspect. I thought that Nandre Burger and Corbin Bosch were superb at the back-end of the bowling innings! Our ground fielding and our bowling through the middle should have been better. Batting was nice. We'll look at the next match as a 3-match series against New Zealand now. If we win the next one, we will make it 1-1 going into Saturday! We sure can play 3 spinners in the next game, let's see. The atmosphere here in Harare is like St. George's Park back home, love it here!"

Rubin Hermann is the Player of the Match! Here's what he has to say: "Very happy, bit disappointed that I couldn't finish the game, but really felt good that my knock helped the team to go over the line. Backed my instincts, I thought I'll see what happens, tried to keep my head clear as well. Something I've focused in the nets, play the ball as late as possible on these pitches with inconsistent bounce, it's a bit of a hard work, but your scoring shots will come if you stay patience. Play good cricket shots, it's still rewarded on this track."

Sikandar Raza [Zimbabwe captain]: "At one point when Burl and Bennett were going, we thought 160 would've been a good score and the wicket got better slightly batteas the game went on, but that's not an excuse, we didn't put the runs on the board. South Africa showed that, you need to put the bad balls away. That dot ball percentage is a concern, that's a key area you need to work and play the situation, try and get the best out of it. 20 more runs, you never know. Leading with myself as well, I need to do better with both bat and ball, the guys look up to me and the confidence goes a long way. Batting in patches were better to today, hopefully we can bring up a full game in the next game."

4:11 PM local time (7:41 PM IST): South Africa win by 7 wickets with 16 balls to spare!

Rubin Hermann 63 (36) | Corbin Bosch - 2/16 (4)
Brian Bennett 61 (43) | Tinotenda Maposa - 2/38 (4)

It was a massive effort from the pair of Rassie van der Dussen and Rubin Hermann to get things done and dusted for South Africa! And that effort sealed their place in the final on Saturday with New Zealand!

Zimbabwe struck early, twice, removing both the South African opening batters. But the steady van der Dussen and the swashbuckling Hermann put together a solid 100-run stand for the 3rd wicket and brought up their respective fifties.

Van der Dussen stayed right till the end to play a captain's knock!

Richard Ngarava needed support and Wellington Masakadza needed to strike, but neither happened for Sikandar Raza and his side. That meant, that the race to the final came to an end for the Chevrons.

17.3 Trevor Gwandu to Dewald Brevis, WIDE! THAT IS THAT! SOUTH AFRICA THRASH ZIMBABWE! They knock Zimbabwe out of this tri-series! Anti-climatic end to the game, but it's going to be South Africa and New Zealand who are in the finals with a few more games still to play.

Bangs in the short delivery, follows the batter but it went way over the batter's head. Brevis looks to ramp it over the keeper's head and misses, that has been called a wide.

One of the best balls of the match, this!

17.2 Trevor Gwandu to Dewald Brevis, clever change of pace, short and well directed. Brevis shapes up to pull, but gets rushed up a bit and ducks under it, through to the keeper.

One run to win.

17.1 Trevor Gwandu to Dewald Brevis, SIX! BAM! Brevis in a hurry. Short into the batter, stood tall and pummeled it way over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. Scores are level now!

Trevor Gwandu [3.0-0-20-0] comes back into the attack.

Don't think van der Dussen needs to go for the big shot. He needs to be there till the end. Let Brevis go after the bowling to get it done quickly!

16.6 Tinotenda Maposa to Rassie van der Dussen, full outside the off-stump, Rassie walks across off-stump and swings at it, but gets a leading edge over the top of backward point, they get back for a brace.

16.5 Tinotenda Maposa to Dewald Brevis, on a length outside the off-stump, Brevis smacked it across the line to deep mid-wicket. Burl gets around to stop it, they get a single.

A composed captain's knock from van der Dussen!

Rassie van der Dussen Scored 50 runs in 40 balls

16.4 Tinotenda Maposa to Rassie van der Dussen, back of a length, straying on the pads. Rassie glances it down to fine-leg and brings up the FIFTY.

16.3 Tinotenda Maposa to Rassie van der Dussen, slower one, back of a length on the stumps. Rassie comes forward and defends.

16.2 Tinotenda Maposa to Dewald Brevis, short of a length in the channel, Brevis stabs it to cover point and takes a tight single.

Two big hits from now and it's game over!
