What else Zimbabwe could have asked for when they beat South Africa in the tri-nations (Bangladesh, South Africa, Zimbabwe) T20 final and won the title, to utter dismay of the South Africans.
South Africa made 6-146 off 20 overs with Faf du Plessis (66). But when it came for the Zimbabwe to chase the paltry target, the South Africans were simple stunned as Zimbabwe reached 1-150 with 17 balls to spare. The win for Zimbabwe is largely attributed to an impressive unbeaten partnership between captain Brendan Taylor (59) and Hamilton Masakadza (58) - both players were at crease when the victory came.
It may be added that Zimbabwe beat the Proteas by 29 runs last Wednesday in the pool phase of a tournament that included Bangladesh, but lost by six wickets to South Africa on Saturday and entered the final as outsiders.
