south Africa fended off a spirited Zimbabwe to notch up a 62- win at the picturesque Seddon Park on Sunday (February 15).
South Africa, put in, rode on centuries from David Miller and JP Duminy to to 339 for 4 in its opening Pool B tie.
Chamu Chibhabha and Hamilton Masakadza made 64 and 80 respectively to give Zimbabwe hope of a successful run chase. That Zimbabwe was on 214 for 4 from 36 overs would have concerned AB de Villiers, the South African skipper. But soon enough, the bowlers were able to get their act together in getting Zimbabwe out for 277.
