The Proteas ran through the rest of the Zimbabwe batting order in the post-lunch session on day three to power their way to a thumping innings and 236-run win in the second test at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Tuesday.
The result secured a 2-0 series sweep over the hosts, after the visitors triumphed by 328 runs in the opening test last week, and followed that up with an even bigger win in the second.
“It was super special, it’s something I had dreamt of as a kid, to captain your country is one of the biggest honours you can get as a cricketer. So it was a super proud moment for me and my family and I am glad I could make the guys proud,” said Mulder in the post-match interview.A complete performance from start to finish. Absolute dominance from Day 1 to Day 3 💪🔥🇿🇦“I think a lot of guys put up their hands .
Nick Welch and Craig Ervine were only able to add 10 to the post lunch score, extending their fourth wicket partnership to 50 runs, before Welch was the first wicket of the session, thanks to a superb delivery from Muthusamy that gripped, turned and took the edge to Mulder at slip.That started the slide, with Yusuf getting in on the action as he trapped Wesley Madhevere plum in front, before having Tafadzwa Tsiga chipping to Lesego Senokwane at short midwicket, as they stumbled to 177/6.
In the morning Zimbabwe resumed their follow-on innings on 51/1, getting off to a poor start as opener Takudzwanashe Kaitano and Welch could only add 13 to the score, extending their second wicket partnership to 33 runs, before Kaitano popped an easy catch to Dewald Brevis at cover off Muthusamy.
