Lungi ndidi

Harare Sports Club: South Africa continued their winning ways and registered a five-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the first T20I of the tri-series at the Harare Sports Club on Monday.

After Zimbabwe skipper Sikander Raza remained unbeaten 54 off 38 deliveries saw the hosts put up 141/6, Dewald Brevis’ 41 off 17, alongside Rubin Hermann’s 46, set up the comfortable run chase for the Proteas and won the game with 25 deliveries to spare.

Zimbabwe opener Wesley Madhevere (1) made it very difficult for his side to get off to a good start after a back of the length delivery by Lungi Ndidi saw him crash his back leg into the stumps for a hit wicket. His opening partner Brian Bennett (30) stood tall while Nqabayomzi Peter bowled over wicket-keeper batter Clive Madande (8).
