BULAWAYO, Aug 19 (AFP): Zimbabwe's spinners gave their side a chance of a shock victory as they bowled South Africa out for 257 in the second of three one-day internationals Tuesday.
After Proteas openers Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock made another promising start, spin trio Prosper Utseya, John Nyumbu and Sean Williams took wickets at regular intervals to dismiss the Proteas in 49.4 overs.
On a drier surface than the one used in South Africa's 93-run victory on Sunday, it was no surprise that the spinners had success as they found significant turn.
Nyumbu was the first to strike as he bowled Amla to end a 47-run stand for the first wicket, and then had De Kock caught at cover for 38.
South Africa 257 (du Plessis 55, Utseya 2-39) v Zimbabwe.
