South Africa vs Zimbabwe , Match 2 at Namibia Cricket Ground, Windhoek , T20I Tri-Series in Namibia, 2026 , Aug 29, 2026 Scorecard

19.6: Duan Jansen to Newman Nyamhuri, Just 7 runs come off the final over and ZIMBABWE FINISH ON 144/8! Full and around middle, Nyamhuri shuffles across the stumps looking to scoop it over short fin leg, but connects only off the toe end, with the ball trickling toward mid-wicket for a single.

19.5: Duan Jansen to Blessing Muzarabani, Cannons in an attempted yorker, on the leg stump, from around the stump. Blessing Muzarabani tries to flick but plays the wrong line and the ball beats the bat before deflecting to the leg side for a leg bye.

19.4: Duan Jansen to Brad Evans, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Jansen has his third wicket after being a bit expensive in the first couple of overs. He fires in a full ball and it tails in a bit onto the pads. Brad Evans brings his bottom hand to play and looks to pick it up and dump it behind deep square leg, but mistimes it off the toe end, offering a straightforward catch to Lhuan-dre Pretorius patrolling the deep square leg fence. Zimbabwe slip down to 142/8, with two legal balls left in the first innings.

19.3: Duan Jansen to Brad Evans, FOUR! Helped away! Angling down the leg side off a back of a length ball, Evans gets across and inside the line, helping it away down to the deep fine leg fence for four.

19.2: Duan Jansen to Newman Nyamhuri, Fuller in length and angled at the toes, Newman Nyamhuri clips it behind square on the leg side for a single.

19.1: Duan Jansen to Wessly Madhevere, OUT! TAKEN! Zimbabwe losing steam towards the climax as Jansen gets his second wicket. Back of a length and outside off, another well-disguised slower ball. Madhevere pulls it away off the toe end of the bat. There is not enough elevation and timing on the shot though, and Brevis, camped at deep mid-wicket, settles under it comfortably and gobbles it up. Zimbabwe are 137/7.

18.6: Kwena Maphaka to Tadiwanashe Marumani, OUT! CAUGHT! Maphaka gets his first wicket on the back of a probing spell so far. Zimbabwe are 137/6 as an impressive cameo from Tadiwanashe Marumani comes to an end. Length-delivery, outside off, another slower ball, and Marumani swings it away toward the leg side off the splice of his bat. The fielder stationed at deep mid-wicket, Rubin Hermann, judges it comfortably and completes a straightforward catch.

18.5: Kwena Maphaka to Tadiwanashe Marumani, Good running! Toe-crushing yorker, honing in on off stump. Marumani looks to flick it into the leg side but only manages to squeeze it away off the inner half, finding the gap to the left of deep square leg for a couple.

18.4: Kwena Maphaka to Wessly Madhevere, A lot fuller and across the batter, Wessly Madhevere looks to loft it over cover, but cannot get his bat properly under the ball and ends up slicing it wide of short third for a single.

18.3: Kwena Maphaka to Wessly Madhevere, Big swing and a miss! Kwena takes the pace off, landing this on a length and wide outside off. Madhevere goes hard, aiming to muscle it over extra cover, but the change in pace has him outfoxed completely, and he swings through fresh air, well outside the edge.

18.3: Kwena Maphaka to Wessly Madhevere, WIDE! Kwena Maphaka is not quite pleased with the decision here. Bowls it miles outside off and it goes across, or perhaps, well beyond the tramline. Wessly Madhevere has a mighty swing at it, but cannot put his bat on the ball.

18.2: Kwena Maphaka to Wessly Madhevere, Excellent piece of fielding from Tony de Zorzi! He has certainly saved a boundary here. Wide yorker from Maphaka, Wessly Madhevere stretches out and shovels it to the right of short third, off the outer half of the bat. But Tony de Zorzi dives acrobatically to that direction and plucks the ball cleanly. One run taken.

18.1: Kwena Maphaka to Wessly Madhevere, Flirts with the guideline on the off side and this time, he keeps it inside that. Very full and Madhevere tries to carve it over backward point but fails to get any sort of connection.

18.1: Kwena Maphaka to Wessly Madhevere, WIDE! Tries to keep it away from the hitting arc, but sprays it far beyond the tramline on the off side. Wessly still reaches out for it, trying to slash it over point, only to miss.

17.6: Duan Jansen to Tadiwanashe Marumani, Short of a good length, wide outside off. Marumani looks shapes for the pull shot, but chops it on the surface. 15 runs off the over, 24 from the last two for the Chevrons.

17.5: Duan Jansen to Tadiwanashe Marumani, SIX​​! Marumani is playing a gem of a knock here for his side. A real freebie from Duan, full and on off, Tadiwanashe Marumani plants the back knee into the pitch, and it is comfortable enough for him to get underneath the ball before he launches it over wide long off for a massive six.

17.4: Duan Jansen to Tadiwanashe Marumani, FOUR! Blazes the loosener away! Juicy full toss, outside off, Tadiwanashe Marumani stays deep inside the crease and spanks it past cover-point for a cracking boundary.

17.3: Duan Jansen to Tadiwanashe Marumani, Low full toss, Marumani knocks it away to the left of long on. He wastes no time calling for a couple, and completes the second run with plenty to spare.

17.2: Duan Jansen to Tadiwanashe Marumani, Two is the call and they will get it. Hits the deck hard, around middle and leg. This is pulled away by Tadiwanashe from the inner half to the right of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. A bit of a wayward throw from the deep allows them to scamper across. Tadiwanashe Marumani hobbles a bit as he completes the second run and the physio is out to check him up.

17.1: Duan Jansen to Wessly Madhevere, Straight up, but drops between the troika in the deep! Bowls from around the wicket, a slower ball landing on a length around off. Madhevere gets it off the toe end of the bat, and it floats away high into the air. Three fielders, Bosch racing in from deep cover point, plus the men stationed at backward point and extra cover, all converge on the ball, but none quite makes it in time, and it drops agonizingly right in between each one of them.
