Great attempt by Zimbabwe who for much of the innings stayed ahead of the run chase. Wickets at the wrong time added to the pressure and in the end finished only 28 runs behind. A few catches and some fielding slips may have left it a lot closer.
The South African bowling attack does however have a lot of work to do before the start of the T20. Ntini seems to have lost all his form, but did come back well bowling his best few overs at the end of this match. Pollock his normal self while Morne Morkel showed signs of a bright future.
Thanks for staying with us and hopefully you will join us again in the near future.
