Zimbabwe vs South Africa, 3rd ODI at Bulawayo, , Aug 21 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary

The South African team takes the trophy for winning the series.. the champagne gets splashed. Joy. It's time for us to wrap up the comms too.. Firdose's report will be ready soon. We will be back when the tri-series starts. Thanks for your comments and feedback. Signing off. Ciao ciao.

"We started the series thinking about beating Zim convincingly and to win 3-0, we are very happy,"says Faf du Plessis. "It's good to see someone like Marchant pump up the gas. Shezi also bowled well. It was unfortunate to see Rilee get out early. Today it was nice for me to express myself as there was no Hash. With Hash, you don't need to score boundaries. Australia is coming and they are a really powerful team. It will be a nice challenge for us."

"The bowlers did well throughout the series," says Chigumbura. "Nyumu bowled well thoughout the series. Utseya and Williams did very well. Williams did very well with the bat throughout too. We are looking forward to the World Cup and we wanted to have a look at a few guys. I think our batting has to improve in the next coming days. If I get myself in, it gets easier. I know I can hit boundaries when the time is right."

Quinton de Kock is the Man of the Match and the Man of the Series too. " It's good, I am enjoying every moment of it (the form)," he says. " I don't really plan much. I go to nets and hit a couple of balls, then I see how the game pans out. The pitches have been quite slow, it has turned a lot in the morning. It has been a bit difficult. But batting second was slightly easier. It changes every game. I am ok with it (missing out on 100s)."

This is easily done by South Africa and they take the series 3-0. An ideal start before this tour gets slightly more challenging. Another win set up by a carefee start from Quinton de Kock, who keeps getting better (or worse - he is not getting 100s). He is turning to be quite a superstar. The target of 166 was not going to test SA's batting anyway. Faf du Plessis played an energetic hand of 33-ball 40. Zimbabwe have huge gaps to fill - for one, their batting looks fragile. So you would have to question the decision to keep Brendan Taylor out.

SD: "I would have voted for Chigumbura as Man of the Match for his courageous innings, but his captaincy could have been better. In any case, Quinton is going to be the Man of the Match so it doesn't matter. "

Jacques: "Good now you have to share your house to the hundreds of people following cricinfo!! I'll take a roof tile please" ---- everyone's welcome to tear it down and take bits of it when they are in Mumbai

priyank: "As the Joker from Batman said - : You can't rely on anybody these days, you gotta do everything yourself, don't we?"

Eight runs needed.. This is possibly the last over of the game. I can bet my house on this.

Nyumbu bowls

South Africa take their Powerplay. Prosper Utseya comes back to bowl. Didn't realise how close SA were.. this will be over within the powerplay
