Right then. The Arun Jaitley Stadium is buzzing with excitement for this 2nd last Super 8s match.

Both the openers have been removed for a combined score of 22 and now Dion Myers and skipper Sikander Raza are in the middle. The current run-rate is moving at a decent pace of more than 8 per over.

Back-to-back wickets for Lungi Ngidi and South Africa are slowly coming back into this game. Skipper Sikander Raza is approaching a well-deserved half-century and he is being joined by Tony Munyonga currently at the crease.

100 up for the Zimbabweans but they are not getting closer to posting a formidable total to well and truly challenge the South Africans. Sikander Raza, who has completed his half-century, remains the only hope for the Chevrons in the final 5 overs or so.

Zimbabwe have been reduced to 6 wickets with less than 2 overs to go for the 1st innings.

Zimbabwe finished their innings at 153/7 in 20 overs. Captain Sikandar Raza was the standout, smashing a brilliant 73 off 43 balls to anchor the side. South Africa's bowlers restricted the total late, with Kwena Maphaka and Corbin Bosch picking up crucial wickets.

It has been a nervy start for the South Africans as they lose both of their openers cheaply, but with such a batting line-up behind, not much to worry for the Proteas.

South Africa lose their 3rd wicket, thanks to a stunning catch from Ryan Burl to dismiss Ryan Rickelton for 31 off 22. Dewald Brevis, who is playing at 28 off 13, has been joined by David Miller in the middle.

We have a solid ending on our hands as South Africa require 34 off 43 balls to win and if they lose one more wicket, then the match will become even more exciting.

Can anyone beat South Africa? It seems as if they are on for something historic, something that the Rainbow Nation has never experienced before. A white-ball ICC silverware loading? Or will they choke in the most cruch phase once again? Time will tell.
