Dominant SA clinch series

South Africa clinched the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe with a dominant six-wicket win in the second match in Potchefstroom yesterday.

Jean-Paul Duminy hit an unbeaten 33 and in the company of David Miller, who hit a 13-ball 19, took the Proteas past Zimbabwe's 132 for seven with 4.4 overs to spare. Having swept the preceding ODI series and also the first T20I, the Proteas will now seek a clean sweep of the whole tour in the third game on Sunday.

The only bump in an otherwise straightforward chase came when opener Quinton de Kock and captain Faf Du Plessis departed in successive overs to leave the score at 58 for three in the eighth over. But Duminy and Heinrich Klaasen rectified the situation with a quick 44-run fourth-wicket stand.

Earlier, the South African pace trio of Lungi Ngidi, Dane Paterson and Robbie Frylinck took two wickets each to restrict Zimbabwe to a sub-par total.  

SCORES IN BRIEF
