ICC World Twenty20 - 4th match, Group C

South Africa v Zimbabwe

South Africa won by 10 wickets (with 44 balls remaining)

T20I no. 266 | 2012/13 season
Played at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, Sooriyawewa, Hambantota (neutral venue)
20 September 2012 - day/night (20-over match)


Zimbabwe innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
H Masakadza	c Levi b JA Morkel	6	23	17	1	0	35.29
4.4 82.1 mph, and now tries to go down the ground and puts it straight to mid on. Tried to lift a length ball over the top but got too much air on it and nowhere near enough length, chipping it to mid on for a simple catch 16/3
V Sibanda	b M Morkel	0	7	3	0	0	0.00
1.4 90.0 mph, bowled him! An off drive misses and off-stump is flicked, a fuller ball enticing the drive and it nipped back through the gate, perfect delivery, hits where the text book tells you to 2/1
BRM Taylor*†	c †de Villiers b M Morkel	4	7	4	0	0	100.00
3.2 88.9 mph, pretty much the same stroke but this is edged behind and de Villiers takes it comfortably going to his right at around waist height, Taylor was reaching for it, not in control of the stroke and got a thin nick 6/2
CR Ervine	c †de Villiers b Kallis	37	71	40	4	0	92.50
17.4 85.5 mph, a bit of extra bounce, takes the edge and de Villiers takes his fourth catch going comfortably to his left-hand side, another wicket for Kallis too! Remarkable performance from him, the ball got big on the batsman who tried to run it down to third man 77/8
S Matsikenyeri	c Peterson b Kallis	11	25	18	0	0	61.11
10.4 80.3 mph, down the wicket and slapped straight to extra cover got it high on the bat and it went directly to the fielder at chest height where the catch was comfortably taken, can't blame the batsman for trying to force the pace but the execution again lacking 51/4
E Chigumbura	lbw b Kallis	0	2	1	0	0	0.00
10.5 84.2 mph, full and straight and plumb lbw first ball the batsman was nowhere near it. Fired it at the pads, full onto middle and leg and Chigumbura was caught on the crease, his attempted defensive stroke was a few years too late 51/5
AG Cremer	c †de Villiers b Kallis	6	16	11	0	0	54.54
13.4 84.2 mph, short ball, hooked at and gloved to the keeper, a third wicket for Kallis and this is now his best return in T20Is. Simply too quick with the bumper that went through around a middle and leg line, a thin glove to de Villiers' at head height 60/6
P Utseya	c †de Villiers b Steyn	5	14	9	0	0	55.55
16.5 89.4 mph, short down the leg side, off the glove and a cracking diving catch from de Villiers going to his left, once again a Zimbabwean completely undone by pace and accuracy but what a catch from the keeper, superb take a full stretch 75/7
RW Price	not out	7	15	6	1	0	116.66

KM Jarvis	not out	9	9	11	0	0	81.81

Extras	(lb 3, w 5)	8

Total	(8 wickets; 20 overs)	93	(4.65 runs per over)
