ICC World Twenty20 2012 – Match 4
South Africa v Zimbabwe
Thu 20 Sep 2012, 03:00pm BST, 07:30pm local
South Africa win by 10 wickets
| Zimbabwe | 93-8 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| South Africa | 94-0 (12.4 ovs) |
Over 13. 3 runs. Bowler: Stuart Matsikenyeri. South Africa: 94/0(rr 7.23)
Matsikenyeri to Amla. Off break full toss, middle stump on the front foot pushing, well timed to long on for 1 run, fielded by Sibanda. So South Africa have completed an easy victory over their neighbours, ending the Zimbabwean campaign and at the same time ensuring their passage to the Super 8 stage. Levi put on a good score after disappointing since his amazing innings in New Zealand, and the result was never in doubt after an indifferent opening over from Jarvis produced 15 runs. Kallis did most of the damage, destroying the Zimbawean middle order in taking a career best four for 15 and has been named Man of the Match. So South Africa take the points, and the match against Sri Lanka on Saturday will decide the group winner, even though that does not matter in the format for this tournament.
