South Africa secure 61-run victory over Zimbabwe in tri-series clash

South Africa ease to a 61-run victory over Zimbabwe in their tri-series clash in Harare.

South Africa have eased to a 61-run victory over Zimbabwe in their tri-series clash in Harare.

The hosts, who were dominated by the Proteas in their recent one-day international series, were given a target of 232 to win on home turf.

Hashim Amla (66) and Quinton de Kock (76) put in impressive innings for the tourists, who were eventually bowled out for 231 with three balls left to play.

In reply, Zimbabwe had a poor start when Tino Mawoyo was run out for a duck after his side racked up just one run, but Sikandar Raza was able to steady the attack by hitting 35 off 50 balls before he was dismissed by Imran Tahir.

Sean Williams was close to reaching a half-century, but Ryan McLaren struck to send the batsman back to the pavilion on 46.

South Africa brought Zimbabwe's innings to an early close by dismissing them for 170 after 38 overs.
