Friday, 5 September 2014
HARARE, Sept 4 (AFP): Faf du Plessis hit his third century in four games as he carried South Africa to 271 for six in the final game of a one-day triangular series on Thursday.
Du Plessis paced his innings superbly on another turning pitch to score 121 from 140 deliveries, which allowed the Proteas to recover from the early loss of their openers.
The No. 3 batsman only scored his maiden one-day hundred last Wednesday against Australia, but followed it up with 126 against the same opposition in a losing cause on Tuesday before adding a third century on Thursday.
50 overs South Africa 271 for 6 (du Plessis 121, Duminy 51) v Zimbabwe.
