Zimbabwe vs South Africa Commentary

3:34 PM IST An all-important clash coming up - Righto, South Africa have made it back-to-back wins and will be feeling a lot more relaxed. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be feeling the pressure as they don't completely have things in their own hands. They would need to win their final group game and hope that South Africa win theirs too. Next up, it will be Zimbabwe facing Namibia, and if the hosts win, the final will be set, but if Zimbabwe win, things will get really interesting. The 5th match of the Tri-series will again be played in Windhoek, on Thursday, September 3. The game will begin at 12 pm GMT, but you can tune in a lot sooner for the build-up as well. Cheers!
3:31 PM IST The victorious skipper of South Africa - Bjorn Fortuin starts by saying that he's happy with the performance, but there are a few areas to tidy up, citing the death bowling and batting. Goes on to applaud Lhuan-dre Pretorius, saying that he assessed the conditions well, and lauds Duan Jansen, who bowled 4 overs on the trot and picked up wickets as well. On his own form, he says that it feels well to be contributing. On their next game, he says that every game matters and they want to finish strong.
3:30 PM IST The captain of Zimbabwe - Sikandar Raza says that they just have to win the next game and hope that South Africa also beat Namibia, and feels that all is not lost and there are a few positives to take from the game. He does admit that the shot selection from the top order needs to be better and feels that their death bowling was pretty good, and they have ticked a few more boxes with the ball. Feels that it is very hard to defend at this venu and if they had wickets in hand, it would have been a lot closer. Ends by talking about the tailenders hitting the boundaries, and says that it's good to see them contributing with the bat, and the top-order is also doing well, but people in the middle order, including himself need to do more with the bat.

Bjorn Fortuin to Sikandar Raza, no run

OUT! STUMPED! Bjorn Fortuin gets immediate revenge on his opposite number. Fortuin holds this one back a touch and sees Sikandar Raza stepping down the track. Fortuin slows it up, bowling it flatter and well wide of the off stump. Raza loses his shape in trying to reach the ball and is well outside his crease when Connor Esterhuizen whips off the bails.

Bjorn Fortuin to Sikandar Raza, 6 runs

SIX! That's been whacked away, and up comes the 100 for Zimbabwe. Too short and angled into the batter, Sikandar Raza uses the angle and hangs back before swinging it over deep square leg for a huge six.

3:25 PM IST Player of the Match - Lhuan-dre Pretorius gets the award for his match-winning knock of 94 off just 51 balls. He starts by saying that he is happy with the win and feels that the century will come if it's meant to be and the victory matters more. Goes on to add that he had a chat with Heinrich Klaasen before the game, and it actually helped, and he will now try to keep positive even if he fails.
