OUT! Stumped. Dewald Brevis to Tanaka Chivanga. Leg spinner back of a length, to leg down the track glancing, Play and Miss (Leg Side), by Verreynne. It's all over at the First Test, and what a resounding victory for South Africa! The Proteas steamrolled to a commanding win, outclassing Zimbabwe by a massive margin and taking the lead in the series. From the outset, the target proved far too steep for the hosts, who never truly got into the chase. Full credit to skipper Keshav Maharaj, whose masterful bowling changes kept the pressure on and consistently troubled the Zimbabwean lineup. Wellington Masakadza stood tall amid the collapse, notching a hard-fought half-century to top-score in the second innings. But it was Corbin Bosch who stole the spotlight with the ball, claiming an impressive five-wicket haul as his maiden Test fifer. Lhuan-dre Pretorius is the Player of the Match for his excellent batting performance.
