South Africa Vs Zimbabwe Live Cricket Score - 2nd ODI - Full Scorecard

T Chatara to D Elgar, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Zimbabwe draw first blood! Elgar walks back cheaply once again. Ideal start for the visitors after being asked to field. Chatara's first decent delivery in the three balls he has bowled and he strikes. It is bowled on a length around off, slanting away after landing. Elgar maybe could have left it but does not. Strange, as he is a very good leaver of the ball in the longer format. He tries to push at it but gets a faint outside edge towards the keeper. Taylor takes it and appeals and the umpire raises his finger.

D Tiripano to A Markram, OUT! Markram departs! The batsman who was looking good out there is walking back. The run out opportunity has not cost Zimbabwe a lot. Not the best of deliveries by Tiripano but he won't mind. It is short and outside off, Markram, who has been creaming such deliveries to the boundary with shots of the back foot, goes for another one. This time though the ball takes a healthy edge and flies towards the keeper who takes it with ease. Markram walks back dejected after getting yet another start.

K Jarvis to R Hendricks, OUT! TIMBER! Flat pitch? Well, you would not say that after watching this delivery. Almost a grubber. Nothing Hendricks could have done about that. It lands around off, comes back in and stays very, very low. So low, that the ball sneaks under Hendricks' bat as he tries to defend and uproots the off pole. Two wickets within 3 overs for Zimbabwe and South Africa have been rocked early again.

T Chatara to H Klaasen, OUT! There goes number 3! The tight bowling has paid dividends here for the visitors. The pressure of not scoring maybe got to Klaasen. He tries to break the shackles by pulling this one. The ball however, stays a touch low. Does not hit the middle and goes flat towards Mire. He is stationed at mid-wicket and he takes a fine low catch, diving to his right. He throws the ball up in the air and the Zimbabwean players are ecstatic. They are right on top.

B Mavuta to K Zondo, OUT! Zondo is stumped and he knew it. By the time the third umpire flashes his decision on the giantscreen, Khaya has already crossed the boundary line. Excellent bowling by Mavuta. Gives this one extra air and serves it outside off. Zondo stretches forward and tries to play the drive but is beaten by the away spin. It goes behind to the keeper who is very swift in taking the bails off. Immediately Taylor jumps in delight as he appeals and then goes to celebrate with the bowler. The square leg umpire however wants to take no chance and refers it upstairs. The replays find Khaya's back leg outside the crease when the stumps were disturbed. Another blow to South Africa and they are in tatters.

B Mavuta to C Jonker, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Mavuta has the last laugh but the question here is, was this shot needed? Surely not - 16 had come from the last over and 10 from this one. Very poor from Jonker, I did mention he needs to calm down in the last over but no patience shown by him. His eyes lit up here seeing the flight on this delivery. Tries to go big but yorks himself. The ball sneaks under his bat and rattles the stumps behind. Timely wicket for Zimbabwe as this partnership was starting to look good. South Africa now have half the side back in the hut with the score not even 100.

K Jarvis to JP Duminy, OUT! Plumb in front! Captain leaves his sinking ship. Terrific move by Hamilton Masakadza to bring in his ace pacer and he delivers the goods. Serves a good length ball in line of the stumps and Duminy from the crease tries to work it on the leg side. But he fails to put bat on ball and is thudded on the pads. The appeal is made and the finger has gone up. A dejected Duminy departs and Zimbabwe are over the moon. The last recognized South African batsman is back in the pavilion and South Africa are reeling on 101/7.

T Chatara to A Phehlukwayo, OUT! Phehlukwayo has been caught down the leg side! He is not happy but since no reviews, he has to walk back. End of a 75-run stand, a brilliant and probably a match-winning 75-run stand. Chatara gets his third. He bowls it on the pads, Andile tries to flick but does so, very fine down the leg side. Taylor behind dives to his right and takes a good catch. He appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Replays later on show, there was some sound as the ball passes the bat. So maybe, Phehlukwayo was disappointed with the way he got out and not the decision. Nevertheless, he departs after playing a handy knock, he would have loved to carry on. Zimbabwe will now look to bowl South Africa out under 200.

D Tiripano to D Steyn, OUT! BOWLED! South Africa do not play out their 50 overs, nor do they reach 200. A low full toss, Steyn looks to heave but this is a clever change in pace from Tiripano. The batsman is months early into his shot and misses. Timber. ZIMBABWE NEED 199 TO WIN.

S Williams to I Tahir, OUT! Given lbw! Tahir is sent packing cheaply! Williams dishes out a flighted delivery and lands it full around middle and leg. It straightens after landing as Tahir gets forward to play at it. But his bat gets a bit stuck behind is front pad and he is late into the shot. The ball raps him on the pads, they appeal and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Steyn is stranded at the other end on 43.

D Steyn to S Mire, OUT! Trapped in front! That's plumb. Dale Steyn is back and is looking in red-hot form. The speed gun shows 141 kph as Steyn serves a shortish length ball in line of the stumps. It nips back in a shade as Mire is caught on the back foot in an attempt to put bat on ball. Ends up playing down the wrong line and is thudded on the pads. They appeal and the finger is up almost immediately. First blow to Zimbabwe. 189 needed 287 balls.

L Ngidi to H Masakadza, OUT! Another one bites the dust! The skipper, Hamilton Masakadza walks back and probably with him, he takes the hopes of Zimbabwe chasing this down. Two wickets in three balls for South Africa. On a length around off, this nips back in. Masakadza fails to account for the movement as he misses the ball while trying to defend. He is hit on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire once again raises the finger. Maybe a touch harsh as it could have gone down with the angle. No reviews though and Zimbabwe continue to slip further.

D Steyn to C Ervine, OUT! What a catch! Andile Phehlukwayo, take a bow! Ervine departs in a way which not many would have thought. Watching him play till now, one would feel he would have been knocked over, caught at slip or maybe LBW. That is not the case. It is short and around off, Ervine goes for the pull but it does not come off the middle. It is still well hit towards mid-wicket. Andile there dives full stretch to his right and takes it with two hands. Brilliant. The South Africans are ecstatic and rightly so, they are top at the moment. 173 more needed.

I Tahir to B Taylor, OUT! Taylor is out of here! Tahir starts his celebratory run and he was off even before the umpire raises his finger. That is how plumb it was. The googly does the trick. It is pitched around off and comes back in sharply. Taylor tries to defend but misses. He is hit flush on the front pad. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Huge blow for Zimbabwe as their best batsman is walking back cheaply. They need another 156 in 217 with 7 wickets in hand.

I Tahir to S Williams, OUT! Now we know why Klaasen was so confident, Williams has nothing behind the line and he has been given his marching orders. Tahir gets his second and now Zimbabwe have half the side back in the hut. The googly got the better of Taylor and now it gets the better of Williams. He lunges and tries to defend but is beaten by the away turn. Klaasen takes the bails off and appeals. He seems very confident as the umpire takes it upstairs. The replays roll in and they show, Sean fails to drag his feet back in.

I Tahir to P Moor, OUT! Another batsman is trapped in front of the stumps. This is getting all too easy for South Africa. Tahir has three now. He fires in a quicker delivery, full and on middle, Moor plays down the wrong line, his bat is way wide of the ball as he takes a blow on his front pad. They appeal and Moor's innings is no more now. Dead duck.

A Phehlukwayo to E Chigumbura, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! They are now falling like a pack of cards! Length ball around off, Chigumbura tries to punch it through the off side but there is not a lot width to play the shot. The ball takes the outside edge and goes towards second slip. Hendricks there takes it easily.

I Tahir to B Mavuta, OUT! HAT-TRICK FOR TAHIR! He is up and running in celebration. What a bowler! What a magnificent bowler! A googly is too good to read for the new batsman. It lands outside off, Mavuta has no idea about the variation as he plants his front foot forward in defense. But is of no use as the ball lands, turns back in, beats the inside half of his bat and lights the stumps. He's over the moon, this is the fourth occasion that a South African bowler has taken a hat-trick in ODIs.

I Tahir to K Jarvis, OUT! Castled! A fifer for Tahir, his third in ODIs. Jarvis with an attempted slog over the leg side. It's a googly and that could have been middled but Jarvis is way too early into the shot. He is already done with the swing of his bat as the ball arrives late and disturbs the timber. Just one more wicket left for South Africa to seal the series.

I Tahir to T Chatara, OUT! SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 120 RUNS! Tahir finishes with a 6-wicket haul. What a performance by the leggie! A long hop this time, on middle, Chatara goes deep inside the crease with the pull shot but fails to get enough power behind it. A straightforward catch for Steyn in the deep mid-wicket region. All over for Zimbabwe in this match and the series.
