South Africa won the 1st ODI of the 2-Match Series against Zimbabwe by 45 runs at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni yesterday. Zimbabwe who had put the homeside to bat first were taken for 295/6 in the allotted 50 overs.
For South Africa, Opener Hashim Amla struck 80 from 96 balls while AB de Villiers came up with 51 from 51 balls and Albie Morkel scored a breezy 50 not out from 39 balls.
Zimbabwe got to 250 for 6 in reply which was a feat considering that they were reduced to 48 for 5 in 17 overs. Tatenda Taibu returned back into the Zimbabwe team to score an unbeaten 103 from 112 balls (with 6 fours and 3 sixes). He was well supported by Stuart Matsikenyeri who made 86 from 87 balls (with 8 fours and a six). Taibu got the Man of the Match.
