  1. Zim 130-6

    Clive Madande is trying to take over Sikandar Raza's role. He guides Anrich Nortje through the covers for four.

  2. Zim 126-6

    Sikandar Raza's six is the only scoring shot of the over.

    Kwena Maphaka finishes his four overs with figures of 2-21.

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

    That was really well bowled by the young bowler. It was a brilliant innings with a great strike-rate from Sikandar Raza though - he has been brilliant from Zimbabwe in this World Cup.

    Raza c Miller b Maphaka 73 (Zim 126-6)

    Immediate revenge for Kwena Maphaka!

    Sikandar Raza skies a catch to David Miller at point.

    That's the end of a huge knock from the Zimbabwe skipper - 73 (43), including eight fours and four sixes.

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

    What a shot! It was almost like Sikandar Raza knew exactly what that ball was going to be and he gave Kwena Maphaka a bit of side eye to remind him who is boss here.

  6. 6 runs

    Zim 126-5

    Stand and deliver from Sikandar Raza. No foot movement at all, pounded for six.

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

    That is really well played. He went early into the scoop position and was holding the bat like a frying pan. He was followed by Corbin Bosch but Clive Madande did so well.

  8. Zim 120-5

    Sikandar Raza goes for a big swipe but doesn't connect. Next ball, he does, dispatching a low full toss through the covers.

    Clive Madande collects his first boundary, getting a stride outside his off-stump and ramping for four. He tries to reverse scoop Corbin Bosch's final ball but it doesn't come off.

  9. Zim 110-5

    Sikandar Raza flays Lungi Ngidi over a leaping fielder at cover for four.

    Eight off the over.

  10. Zim 102-5

    Lovely from Sikandar Raza, placing Anrich Nortje through extra cover for four. The ball was gliding along the grass.

    Zimbabwe's 100 comes up with a leg bye.

    Eight off the over.

  11. 50 runs

    50 for Sikandar Raza

    Zim 94-5

    Sikandar Raza takes a single off the over to bring up his 17th T20I half-century.

    He gets there off 29 balls, including five fours and three sixes.

  12. Ryan Campbell
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We all enjoy pace bowlers but I still think there is something special about a left-arm pace bowler. We don't see them too often. It is almost poetic watching them steam in.

  13. Zim 93-5

    Right on cue, there's a boundary from Sikandar Raza, playing Kwena Maphaka behind for four.

  14. Zim 88-5

    Clive Madande, the latest batter to attempt to support Sikandar Raza, gets off the mark with a single.

    Zimbabwe have only scored two boundaries in the past four overs while losing three wickets.

    That is just playing down the ground, he was probably just playing it a little too square.

    Technique still stands in T20 cricket.

    WICKET

    Munyonga b Bosch 2 (Zim 87-5)

    Sikandar Raza is rapidly running out of partners.

    Corbin Bosch uproots Tony Munyonga's leg stump and celebrates enthusiastically, punching his arms is delight.

  17. Ryan Campbell
    Former Australia wicketkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I want to say that Sikandar Raza should play smartly from here but he does only know one way. He will be looking for the boundary ball and he will be looking to take advantage of his match-up.

  18. Zim 84-4

    Tony Munyonga is a lucky guy.

    First ball, he's beaten by the pace of Lungi Ngidi. Second ball, he chips a slower delivery invitingly into the air but misses all of the fielders. A relieved single.

    With the wicket of Ryan Burl, Ngidi became South Africa's leading wicket-taker in men's T20Is. He has 90 but has some way to go to catch Shabnim Ismail's 123.

    The skipper, Sikandar Raza, is doing really well at one end but he just isn't finding someone to stay with him at the moment.

    South Africa use a lot of pace bowlers and that isn't usually the case in India but they are adjusting to conditions really well.

    The way Lungi Ngidi is able to his slower ball to dip is a massive weapon.

    Red, red, red - it is hitting the middle of leg stump.

    Ryan Burl is out lbw to Lungi Ngidi.
