Zimbabwe were never in the match after losing the first two
wickets. Scoring slowed down considerably and they paid the price
for that
There was a five ball over in this innings, which made no
difference to the final outcome any ways.
Andy Blignaut could have made the difference, but he was unlucky to
be run out after being send back by campbell
