Batting: Zimbabwe
| Over No. | Event Type | Event | Team Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.4 | OUT | Morne Morkel to Sibanda, out Bowled!! Morne doesn't take much time to give the breakthrough. A beautiful delivery - after a few short ones he slips in a full delivery, Sibanda looks to drive but there is a huge gate between his bat and pad, the ball finds that gap to perfection and goes on to hit the off stump. Sibanda b Morne Morkel 0(3) | 2/1 |
| 3.2 | OUT | Morne Morkel to Brendan Taylor, out Caught by de Villiers!! Taylor goes cheaply again. Short of length and just outside off, Taylor makes room and then stretches in an attempt to play the cut shot, but only manages a thin edge to the keeper. Morkel's second wicket already. Brendan Taylor c de Villiers b Morne Morkel 4(4) | 6/2 |
| 3.5 | FOUR | Morne Morkel to Masakadza, FOUR, Masakadza continues to be positive despite the wickets. In the slot and he drives it straight down the ground, splits the bowler and mid on to perfection | 11/2 |
| 4.1 | FOUR | Albie Morkel to Craig Ervine, FOUR, not the kind of start Albie would have liked. Starts with a short and wide one, Ervine stands tall and cuts it away through covers for a boundary | 15/2 |
| 4.4 | OUT | Albie Morkel to Masakadza, out Caught by Levi!! 16 for 3. Masakadza kept trying the big shots and has fallen in the same fashion. Comes down the track and looks to loft, but he isn't upto the pitch of it and mistimes it straight to mid on. Simple catch and Zimbabwe are in tatters. Masakadza c Levi b Albie Morkel 6(17) [4s-1] | 16/3 |
| 7.3 | FOUR | Peterson to Craig Ervine, FOUR, risky but he does well. This was flat and right on the stumps, Ervine exposes all the 3 wickets and reverse sweeps, places it wide of short third man and gets a boundary | 31/3 |
| 8.1 | FOUR | Johan Botha to Craig Ervine, FOUR, well played! Ervine is looking good. Makes some room and crashes the cover drive, hits it in the gap at deep extra cover and collects another four | 38/3 |
| 10.4 | OUT | Kallis to Matsikenyeri, out Caught by Peterson!! That's a soft dismissal. He hit that well but straight to the fielder! Short ball from Kallis, Matsikenyeri backs away and slaps it straight to covers. Peterson takes a sharp catch and ends a decent partnership. Matsikenyeri c Peterson b Kallis 11(18) | 51/4 |
| 10.5 | OUT | Kallis to Chigumbura, out Lbw!! Kallis is on a hat-trick. Chigumbura had absolutely no clue about this one. It was full and straight, Chigumbura went right back and missed it completely. Absolutely plumb, he actually looked like a school-boy who was scared to face a fast bowler when he played that. Zimbabwe's batting woes continue. Chigumbura lbw b Kallis 0(1) | 51/5 |
| 13.4 | OUT | Kallis to Cremer, out Caught by de Villiers!! Third wicket for Kallis. Banged in short on the leg stump line, Cremer looks to hook but gets some glove on the way to the keeper. He doesn't even wait for the umpire's decision, Zimbabwe are going down rapidly. Cremer c de Villiers b Kallis 6(11) | |
| 16.3 | FOUR | Steyn to Craig Ervine, FOUR, nicely played. Fast and outside off this time, Ervine opens the face of the bat and guides it wide of the man at slip, it flies away to third man | 74/6 |
| 16.5 | OUT | Steyn to Utseya, out Caught by de Villiers!! What a catch! Superb stuff from the skipper. A lethal delivery too - short and on the body, Utseya tries to fend it away but gets some glove on it, it goes down the leg side but ABD flies across and catches it with his left hand. Brilliant catch that! Utseya c de Villiers b Steyn 5(9) | 75/7 |
| 17.4 | OUT | Kallis to Craig Ervine, out Caught by de Villiers!! That's catching practice. Kallis bangs it short and gets it to rise in the off stump line, Ervine opens the face of the bat and looks to guide it to third man, ends up giving a simple catch to the keeper. 4th wicket for Kallis, Ervine looked solid but he needed some support from his team-mates. Craig Ervine c de Villiers b Kallis 37(40) [4s-4] | 77/8 |
| 20 | FOUR | Kallis to Price, FOUR, ends a miserable innings with a boundary! Backs away and slaps it between extra cover and mid off, this is Zimbabwe's second lowest score in T20Is. | 93/8 |

| 0.5 | FOUR | Jarvis to Amla, FOUR, wonderfully done by Amla, this is the slower off-cutter from Jarvis but it is short and wide outside off, Amla waits for it and bludgeons it past the cover fielder who dives to his right but cannot reach it, the ball purrs away to the deep extra cover fence | 10/0 |
