Timothy Abraham

  1. SA 5-1

    Blessing Muzarabani, all 6ft 8in of him, bowls the second over for Zimbabwe.

    He beats the outside edge of Ryan Rickleton before the South Africa left-hander pokes it away into the off side for a single.

  2. SA 4-1

    Sikandar Raza leading from the front for Zimbabwe.

    Tadiwanashe Marumani of Zimbabwe celebrates the wicket of Quinton de Kock of South Africa during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup India & Sri Lanka 2026 Super 8 match between Zimbabwe and South Africa at Arun Jaitley StadiumGetty Images

    That is a massive scalp. It is a brand new ball and it just skids on the wicket.

    The wicketkeeper has done so well there because it is a big deflection. As an old wicketkeeper those things warm your hearts.

    WICKET

    De Kock c Marumani b Sikandar Raza 0 (SA 1-1)

    Early breakthrough for the Chevrons as Quinton de Kock edges behind!

    The left-handed De Kock leans back a fraction and attempts to fine cut one which grips from Sikandar Raza, bowling round the wicket, and he edges it into the gloves of Tadiwanashe Marumani

    Superb take by Marumani behind the stumps.

  5. Zimbabwe's players are having a group huddle just inside the boundary.

    Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock stroll out to open the batting for South Africa.

    Sikandar Raza will bowl the first over.

  6. WinViz has it 73-27% in South Africa's favour against ZimbabweBBC Sport/CricViz

    South Africa are strong favourites at the halfway point.

  7. Thank you, Elizabeth.

    What's WinViz saying on this one? Let's take a look.

  8. South Africa, already through to the semi-finals, are chasing 154 to beat Zimbabwe.

    Here's Timothy Abraham to take you through the second innings.

  9. Here are Kwena Maphaka's two wickets for you to enjoy.

  10. Tash Farrant
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    South Africa will be pretty happy. It looks like that is at least 20 runs short of par. It is a good wicket and a fast outfield.

    Aiden Markram has been very good at the top of the order and they have a deep batting line-up.

  11. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    South Africa will be happy with their work after losing the toss.

  12. Zim 153-7

    Zimbabwe run two off the final ball to finish on 153-7, with Clive Madande unbeaten on 26 (20) and Wellington Masakadza on 1 (1).

    Sikandar Raza starred with 73 (43) while Kwena Maphaka was the pick of the bowlers. The 19-year-old took 2-21.

    South Africa will be chasing 154 to maintain their unbeaten record at this tournament.

  13. Zim 151-7

    A flare shot from Clive Madande to bring up Zimbabwe's 150 off the penultimate ball of the innings.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Evans b Bosch 8 (Zim 146-7)

    Another big celebration from Corbin Bosch as he collects his second wicket.

    His yorker clatters into Brad Evans' middle stump, the bails scattering in opposite directions.

  15. Zim 143-6

    Good running helps Zimbabwe take 11 runs off the penultimate over.

    Six balls to go in the first innings.

  16. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That is a beautiful shot. He had been flaying before that.

  17. 6 runs

    Zim 139-6

    Lovely from Brad Evans, getting down low to arc Lungi Ngidi over the covers for six. 150 is on for Zimbabwe!

  18. Not out - Zim 133-6

    Yup, never out. Clearly above waist height from Lungi Ngidi.

    He goes out wide for the free hit and Brad Evans swings and misses. Good placement from Ngidi.

  19. Umpire review

    Brad Evans pings a slower ball from Lungi Ngidi straight to a fielder but the umpires want to have a look at this. Was it no-ball on height?

  20. Zim 132-6

    Anrich Nortje concedes six runs to finish with 1-29.

    With two overs to go, Zimbabwe will want 150.
