The South African Women have extended their dominance over Zimbabwe with a commanding 64-run victory in the second Women's T20 International at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Sunday afternoon.
The Proteas Women, having won the toss and elected to bat first, posted an imposing 193 for three before their bowling attack dismantled the hosts' chase to lead the five-match series 2-0.
Zimbabwe's chase began in disastrous fashion when Sharne Mayers chopped on to Eliz-Mari Marx's bowling off just the third delivery of the innings, departing for a duck. Marx's (4-1-18-1) opening spell was clinical - a wicket-maiden that set the tone for the afternoon ahead. The hosts did show some early resilience through Nyasha Gwanzura (18), who began to find her feet in the fifth over, driving Marx through the covers for consecutive boundaries.
