Both the batsmen registered their fifty but after the two departs, no other Zimbabwe batsment was able to fight. Imran Tahir picked 3 wickets for his team.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore#\/csgsa\/43\/ENG\/1275\/3rd-Match-Pool-B-South-Africa-v-Zimbabwe.html?type=scorecard\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><strong>Scorecard - Zimbabwe vs South Africa<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><strong>AB de Villiers:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;Pretty happy with the winning start, it wasn&#39;t easy to start,credit to Elton and his boys as they made it difficult for us, thankfully Miller and Duminy got us to a decent total. In the last drink break, I said to the boys we are under the pump and we need to buckle up. Most frustrating moment of day was when I got dismissed.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><strong>Elton Chigumbura:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;Bowlers gave us the right start we needed but we gave away far too many runs in the last 4-5 overs. I knew they had big hitters which can clear the ropes with ease and we failed to hit the targets in the death overs. I think we lost wickets at the wrong time.&nbsp;Happy with the way boys performed, these are good signs for the games to come.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/images\/gallery\/David_Miller.jpg\" style=\"width: 250px; height: 119px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin: 2px; float: left;\" \/>David Miller (Man of the match):<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;First one will always be very memorable but even this ton was as good as the previous one as this one came in the winning cause which is always very special. It is always nice to strike partnership with someone, today it was Duminy. In the end it helped us a lot to score briskly in the death overs.&nbsp;I am loving my role in the middle order.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
