00:00A little bit more. I think it's a crucial decision to make.
00:10They immediately threw the covers. That's gonna run away.
00:17That's a boundary job and on the account here. Corner SRA is in.
00:21Too short and a little bit of width. Shot again.
00:27And a boundary again. Quick feet.
00:35Oh, it's with the angle. Nobody out. Deep square.
00:40And again, not the best of deliveries, but you still need to put them away.
00:50Oh, that's a good shot. Yeah, it's a powerful shot. A shot of finesse.
00:56Hasn't tried to overhead it. He's just helped it along using the pace.
01:01And of course, Alejandro Pretorio is getting sentry.
01:04Picked up. Out of here.
01:09Yeah, impeccable timing here from Esther Eisen.
01:13To close off the over. An expensive start from Yamori.
01:20Oh, it's a flat bat.
01:23Raza, for a brief moment, thought maybe he's in the game.
01:26He's hit it so hard.
01:30Oh, missed field.
01:36That fielding. Should have been stopped. You can see Evan's not happy.
01:43Oh, that's hard. That's straight.
01:51That's four runs.
01:56Pulled. No protection out there.
01:59A decisive hit here from Herman.
02:03Under pressure early.
02:07It's short again. Pulled again.
02:09Deep backwards fairs. Quite wide.
02:11So, no chance to get around to it. It's three in a row.
02:15Back to that short of the length short sort of approach.
02:19Failing to adjust really.
02:21Picked up.
02:23Hooked.
02:25Out of here.
02:32I have to find a way of building up that dartboard percentage and reduce the boundary count.
02:41I like the length. I like the adjustment.
02:43But it's a shorter delivery. As you say, yet again, it's too short. It's too straight.
02:48And it's easy pickings for Herman.
02:50He's been in good form. One away now from a half century.
02:54He's had a quiet series up until now.
02:58Oh, over cover again.
03:02Not time to perfection, but good enough. One bounce goes for four.
03:07To Goodland. That's where you want to be.
03:10That's up in the air. That's an opportunity.
03:14He's taken.
03:16You know, it felt like it took a while and he hung up the current with a catch.
03:22That's the reason.
03:25It's that extra bounce. Gets the top edge.
03:28And he gets the wicket.
03:30As you see there from the replay, it just sits up in the wicket.
03:34We've seen that all day.
03:37Early on in this game.
03:39Ball swerving around.
03:40Curran.
03:44And as we say that it goes short in the gap.
03:48And again, you can see Evans on the boundary, raising his arms.
03:55That's up in the air.
03:57There's an opportunity.
03:58It's taken. It's a brilliant catch.
04:0225 meters to get there.
04:05Ryan Bell makes no mistake.
04:08Just sitting up. No pace to work with.
04:12Herman maybe at the last second it seems.
04:14Trying to roll the hands.
04:17Changing his mind.
04:19Because of that sort of in-between shot.
04:21But Bell, how brilliant.
04:23He had a lot of work to do.
04:24A lot of ground to cover.
04:2520-odd meters.
04:27Position.
04:28It's the second wicket for Zimbabwe.
04:30The last three overs are really belonging to the fielding side.
04:34Herman.
04:36He's a maiden.
04:39Well, that's taken apart.
04:44Devil Braves is not going to miss out.
04:48Yeah, that's a fantastic way of bringing up.
04:54Yeah, over cover.
04:56Has he gotten enough?
04:59Just enough.
05:06Yeah, short.
05:08Pulled.
05:11We talk about for nothing deliveries.
05:16Fine leg outs as well.
05:19That ball going straight to that, man.
05:21Got a lot of work to do.
05:22Does some brilliant work on the boundary.
05:29Slower.
05:31And Raza get some turn.
05:33The Zorzi coming down the track.
05:35Couldn't quite find his timing.
05:37Couldn't quite find the momentum today.
05:40Extra bounce.
05:41Good take.
05:45Second one for the skipper.
05:47The immediate redemption here for Marumani.
05:53Starts off with a wide.
06:02Starts off with a wide.
06:08Now finds the boundary eventually.
06:12He pulled it, but it was not convincing.
06:16To pull his final over.
06:19Picked up.
06:21Oh, it's right in the gap.
06:23It's a maximum.
06:26To place it.
06:29That's short.
06:30And Breavis again.
06:31Doesn't quite get all of it, but he gets enough of it.
06:36That's another maximum.
06:38It's another short delivery that goes all the way.
06:41Setting.
06:42Same attempted line.
06:44There again.
06:46It's good execution.
06:49But unfortunately, there's a sweeper.
06:54Oh, Klaas.
06:55Klaas from Hermann.
06:58Maybe identifying that Muzribani was going to change something up after the boundary.
07:06Yes, Fuller.
07:09Unfortunately, with Longhorn being quite straight.
07:13Breavis doesn't quite get a hold of it, but it's square enough.
07:18There's some Fuller.
07:20There's some downtown, but not enough.
07:23It's taken.
07:26Simple catch on the boundary.
07:28It can cause so much damage.
07:32It is in the slot, but he stayed out of the hitting zone.
07:37It's gone a long way up.
07:40Raza, a quality fielder.
07:42He takes it under the eyes.
07:46Big wicket.
07:47Big wicket for Zimbabwe.
07:52There's an appeal.
07:55The umpire gives it out.
07:57He fully believes he had some bat or glove to it.
08:01Hermann not happy about the call.
08:03Shakes his head.
08:04Looks back at the umpire.
08:05It's another wicket for Zimbabwe.
08:07Yeah, Murray.
08:09In the mix.
08:12Tough call to make, Dixon.
08:16Yeah, tough call to make, really.
08:18They're lacking this patch of play.
08:21Full toss.
08:23No real protection out there.
08:27Yeah, just get picked up.
08:31Flicks it towards the leg side.
08:34Again, nobody out there.
08:36Yeah, it's a good shot.
08:38It's a strong end.
08:39To the 18th over.
08:41Boundary to finish.
08:42South Africa, 186.
08:47Down the ground.
08:48Straight enough.
08:50I'm not quite sure if that was trying to or intended to hit it.
08:56Oh again, in the block hole.
08:59But again, nobody out deep backward square.
09:04Just races away.
09:06Strong.
09:09Slow delivery.
09:10A big swing.
09:12Shy at the non-striker's end.
09:17Nice.
09:18South Africa.
09:19Well, they'll be happy about this.
09:22205 for five.
09:26The matchup between Zimbabwe and South Africa.
09:31Can't really draw much from that.
09:42That day.
09:47Unfortunately, it's not going to be the day for Karin.
09:50It's a fantastic delivery by Bosch.
09:52Back of a length.
09:53Karin looking to cut.
09:5510th.
10:01No, you can't really do too much about it.
10:03Too close to cut.
10:06The inconsistency and bounce.
10:09Yeah, not Bennett.
10:11It's a more traditional shot.
10:13But it still has its place in the game of T20 cricket.
10:22Oh, look at that.
10:25Talk about batting yourself out of a shell.
10:29That's a decisive hit.
10:31Helped it along with the pace.
10:34Oh, and Bennett trying to scoop.
10:36But unfortunately, he hits it straight up.
10:38It's a simple catch for the keeper, Estreza.
10:41And Bennett, as soon as he played it,
10:44just threw his head back and gnawed with himself.
10:49And after two overs, they have 14 for two.
10:52A shot that he plays so well in general.
10:56But looking at what's required and how he's managed to score runs with so much,
11:00he's through the offside.
11:03So you just remain within.
11:07Yeah, it goes for a bigger one again.
11:09This time, Bion Fortin does not make any mistake.
11:15Pace off from Bosch.
11:18Yeah, Kaira.
11:22Yeah, just not sure.
11:26Especially coming at the back of us talking about being calculative.
11:29Yes, he wants to look to dominate the ball early up.
11:35At some point, you have to be agile in your approach.
11:38You have to be...
11:42Oh, it's short.
11:44It's too straight.
11:46Madhiveri is a quality player.
11:47He just helps it along using the pace.
11:50Something we've seen.
11:54It goes again.
11:56But this time around, he doesn't get enough.
11:58He finds David Brevis.
12:01On deep backwood square.
12:06South Africa all over the Zimbabweans.
12:08This time around, he's gone for the traditional pull.
12:11Not looking to use the pace.
12:14And all he's managed to do is hit it right down the throat.
12:19And David Brevis as well.
12:20He's not going to drop that.
12:22He's trying to score boundaries.
12:23And because of that...
12:25Oh, as I say that...
12:27Short delivery is just set up.
12:29And Raza, well, we know he's a world-class player.
12:34Again, a shot of authority in front of square.
12:39Oh, lovely shot.
12:43Elegantly played by Burl.
12:45He was anticipating the short delivery.
12:48And all he did was wait for it.
12:49Open the face.
12:51There's a movement inside the field.
12:54Balls him.
12:56Finds the half stump.
12:58Beyond 14.
13:01Yeah, looks to work it to the onside.
13:07Yeah, some grip in the surface.
13:09Some turn.
13:11And Ed pays off to that.
13:17Yeah, perfect delivery.
13:20Zimbabwe lose their fifth.
13:22It's Ryan Bell.
13:29Oh, he's gone high.
13:31Yeah, it's not long enough.
13:34Hammer underneath it.
13:35Yeah, he takes it.
13:37It's a good catch.
13:38He had to set himself.
13:40And the Rasmall.
13:42It's not the easiest.
13:45But a safe pair of hands.
13:47That's another look at Muramane.
13:48He comes and he goes.
13:50Trying to go straight downtown.
13:54Oh, he's out.
13:58Taken.
14:00A brilliant catch.
14:02Extra cover.
14:03Seconder riser.
14:05Looking to go hard at it.
14:08However, pressure building.
14:12Jordan Herrmann.
14:16An incredible catch.
14:20It was the right delivery to go at it.
14:23Just the placement.
14:24Look at that.
14:25Incredible catch.
14:28Now to dismiss the skip of Zimbabwe.
14:34It's a full toss.
14:36It's not a good delivery.
14:38And Evans with a big bat.
14:40There hasn't been a lot of scoring opportunities for Zimbabwe today.
14:48Another full toss.
14:50Again, wide.
14:51Again, put away.
14:53This time along the ground.
14:54A couple of bounces into the boards.
15:00Again, going downtown.
15:02It's a short part of the ground.
15:05And just doesn't get enough on it.
15:08Ethan Bosch making that look really simple.
15:11Robes.
15:14Staying in within the ropes himself.
15:17Yeah, Murray giving it everything.
15:21Doesn't find the middle.
15:22The composure here.
15:24A bit more room to work with.
15:26But it doesn't matter.
15:27It's taken a while.
15:31Oh, he's picked it up.
15:33It's a slow delivery.
15:35He moves towards Alexi McQuinnah.
15:38Following him.
15:39Short of length.
15:40It sits up.
15:41He's playing a supportive role.
15:43To Bradley Evans.
15:46Yeah.
15:48No need to play a supportive role.
15:52It's another big shot.
15:54And again.
15:55It goes long enough.
15:58Back-to-back sixes.
16:00That's a gamer.
16:01Where have you been?
16:06Oh, look at that.
16:08How do you like that?
16:10Klaus.
16:11From Evans.
16:18No, no.
16:19This time around.
16:20This is high.
16:22Very high.
16:26And it's pouched.
16:28My corner is the raisin.
16:30But tell you what.
16:34No regrets for this young man.
16:38He has disappointed with himself.
16:40You can see there after he played the shot.
16:43Just moving to the next side.
16:45McParker with the experience.
16:46With the skill.
16:50Oh, elbow up.
16:52It's a full toss.
16:53Muzrabani.
16:55Where did that come from?
17:01Oh, he's picked it up.
17:03Has he connected?
17:05Yes, he has.
17:07It's another six.
17:10It's 50 for Evans.
17:12He's made in T20i 50.
17:14It's 50 for Zimbabwe.
17:16Missed it consistent.
17:20All-round performance here for Zimbabwe.
17:22Goes hard again.
17:23Back-to-back boundaries.
17:26For Brad Evans.
17:29Muzrabani.
17:32Oh, goes hard.
17:33Goes high.
17:36Could this be it.
17:38Done and dusted here.
17:40That the FNB and CG South Africa.
17:45Pick up the victory.
17:48In this final.
17:49Of the FNB T20i series.
17:54Oh, they beat Zimbabwe.
17:57However.
17:58A lot of characters shown here.
18:00From the Zimbabwean bettors.
18:04Ballers rather.
18:07That if 10 bettors today.
18:11157 all out.
18:12Is all they could.
18:13Amount to Zimbabwe.
