Full commentary
A win for South AFrica but not as convincing as they would have thought. Some encouraging batting from the youngsters but a lot of work to do in the bowling department.
For Zimbabwe 5 run outs in an innings will be at the top of their topics for discussion while some work in the field has to be done.
We hope that you will join us again on Saturday for the second match from Harare
