BULAWAYO: Corbin Bosch’s all-around skill and rookie Lhuan-dre Pretorius’s record-breaking century helped South Africa defeat Zimbabwe by a resounding 328 runs in the opening Test match.
In the first Test of the two-match series, the home team’s batting line collapsed on a pitiful 208 runs while chasing a difficult 537-run goal.
Bosch removed the number three batsman on the first ball of the day, giving Zimbabwe the worst possible start as they attempted to rally from 32-1 through opener Prince Masvaure and Nick Welch (0).
Following the early blow, Masvaure was joined by first-innings centurion Sean Williams for a short 32-run partnership.
