South Africa win by eight runs and win series 2-0 Another good effort from Zimbabwe, their batsmen have been mighty impressive but their pacemen suffered. JP Duminy found some of his best form to carry South Africa to a score that looked a long way ahead of what Zimbabwe could manage but the tourists almost pulled off a shock. Nitin will have his bulletin ready soon to tell you all the details, so make sure you check that out. That's all from us, thanks for all the emails, I hope you'll join us on October 15 for the 1st ODI.
