Zimbabwe Emerging 177 in 46.3 overs (Emmanuel Bawa 60, Tashinga Musekiwa 51*; Andile Mogakane 5-22, Dian Forrester 2-24, Codi Yusuf 2-35)

South Africa Emerging 174 in 40.5 overs (Modiri Litheko 53, Ntandoyenkosi Zuma 37; Brandon Mavuta 6-39, Alex Falao 3-51)

Zimbabwe Emerging won by 3 runs

Brandon Mavuta was irresistible with the ball as he devoured the South Africa Emerging and middle and lower order to help his side to a nail-biting three-run victory at Queens Sports Club on Saturday.

South Africa Emerging looked on their way to a comfortable one-day series whitewash, sitting in 139 for the loss of five, chasing a modest 178.

Mavuta sliced through the batting lineup like a proverbial knife through butter.

Even while it all came together, Ntandoyenkosi Zuma looked to be orchestrating another Zimbabwe heartbreak before Mavuta had him caught out by Alex Falao, attempting a drive.

Three balls later, in the same over, he trapped Nhlankanipho Mpungose for a duck.

His six-for was met with a raucous celebration.

Earlier, Emmanuel Bawa helped himself to 60 runs, while Tashinga Musekwa smashed three sixes in his 46-ball 51.

While SA Emerging had already wrapped up the series, Steve Mangongo’s man will be delighted with the victory.
