The 24-year-old dashing allrounder Arnoldus Mauritius Blignaut took over the center-stage from Andy Flower. He smashed the Aussie bowling to reach his half-century off just 25 balls. Blignaut assault was awesome indeed, as he struck four boundaries off one Gillespie over. Hogg too did not escape the punishment from the marauding Blignaut. It was truly a remarkable innings from a youngster who stayed away from cricket to pursue a career in fashion modelling in South Africa. Taibu ran up and down to make 23, and Streak hit a quick fire 28* as Zimbabwe made 246/9 in their 50 overs.
