1st Test: Mulder's Career-best 147 Drives South Africa Toward Victory Against Zimbabwe
Queens Sports Club: All-rounder Wiaan Mulder produced a brilliant career-best 147 to put South Africa in complete control on Day Three of the one-off Test against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. His composed, yet commanding knock ensured the visitors set Zimbabwe a towering target of 537 before Corbin Bosch’s late strike left the hosts on 32 for 1 at stumps.
Starting the day with a lead of 167, South Africa lost Tony de Zorzi early when he edged Tanaka Chivanga for 31. But Mulder, resuming with patience, capitalised on every loose delivery, driving and flicking with authority.
He added 63 with de Zorzi and then 72 with David Bedingham, who looked threatening before falling for 35, miscuing a pull-off Wellington Masakadza. That dismissal triggered Zimbabwe’s best phase, as they grabbed 3 for 19 in quick time, briefly raising hopes of restricting the visitors.
