26.6
Utseya to Miller, OUT, it's a hat-trick! Utseya is on the floor.. With his teammates over him
DA Miller lbw b Utseya 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

26.5
Utseya to Rossouw, OUT, Rilee Rossouw! No. It has to be a tragedy if you are him! He was out for a duck in his first match and he is out for a duck here. Superb delivery though. It's tossed up, spins and Rossouw was stuck in the crease, pokes at it but can only get an outside edge. That is taken neatly by first slip
RR Rossouw c Nyumbu b Utseya 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00


26.4
Utseya to de Kock, OUT, and he is gone! Excellent one-hander by the fielder at short third-man.. It's Chatara. He looks to reverse-lap it over that fielder but just did not get enough bat on that. It still looked like it was going over but Chatara back-pedals and sticks his right hand out to pluck it. QdK.. for all it's worth.. can't score a hundred against Zimbabwe.
Q de Kock c Chatara b Utseya 76 (76b 7x4 1x6) SR: 100.00

 
well done utseya! probably will remember this day for a long time to come.
 
some rebuilding to do now for S.A which will bring Zimbabwe back into this game.
 
Looks like the choke has come back and is getting ready for South Africa again at the world cup.
 
performances like these really makes me wonder at what zimbabwe could have been if the political situation was a bit more stable. 7 years into test cricket, they had a team that was one of the mid tier teams that even pushed the top teams from time to time. aren't even guys like ballance from zimbabwe as well?

compare that with a team like bangladesh, now around for 14 years and still spineless, talentless and there only to make up the numbers. forget streak, flower bros, paul strang etc etc; heck, somebody like guy whittal, if he played for bangladesh, would probably be considered their greatest cricketer lol.

what a waste.
 
30 runs too much for Zimbabwe. The last partnership has won it for SA :(

Add Ballance
Taibu, Jarvis, Cremer, Sean Ervine.
 
Zim looks like a much better unit than Banglas.

They have a few batsmen who look international standard. Sean Williams, Taylor, Waller, Masakadza all look like international level batsmen.

Banglas only have Shakib who is intenrational standard. Anamul is kind of a slogger. Hit or miss guy. The rest of the batting is terrible.
 
98 more needed with 5 wickets,20 overs
Definitely a chance.Chigumbura needs to hang in there,take singles.
 
BTW where have all the PPers gone, this could be historic day in world cricket provided that ZIM chase this down!
 
So much for the upset.

Zims proved that they are minnows again.

A great opportunity to win against one of the best sides in the world is badly wasted.
