Zondo has been run out, trying to farm the strike. He moved away but Paris followed him from around the wicket, and Zondo could only turn it to square leg. He egged Hendricks on for a second, but it was never on.

Full commentary
4.55PM That's it from Deiva and me for this match. Do join us for the next game on Monday.
4.50PM Zondo: It was nice just to get to the end and see what happens. Thinking now that I probably shouldn't have taken the two and had a nice hit from the other side with the shorter boundary. In the position that we were in, to get to here, we just needed one other big partnership. It was a good wicket to bat on, and the field was quick as well. The ball flies here.
We've got a few first-timers here but they've done pretty well in the four-dayers and now. We're going to have to keep playing good cricket and improving.
Travis Head is the Man of the Match and the winning captain. Hit 110 and took 2 for 25. "It's nice to have a contribution to the win. fantastic result after the other day (loss against India A). We just continued to back our plans. You can't always have a great day, but it was nice to come back from that. It was nice to get a hundred, I've wasted a few opportunities in the past couple of months. Nice to come out and execute well today."
4.45PM Zondo played an outstanding knock, but the eventual margin of 32 runs is perhaps a tad flattering. They were out of the contest long ago. The capitulation in the middle overs to the spinners will need to be addressed, and fast. Given the senior side's troubles against Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in February, and then against Sri Lanka away, there might be a deeper problem to address.
South Africa A now have no chance of reaching the final of this quadrangular series. They will take on India A in their final match, while Australia will take on India B - both matches taking place on Monday.
