Recalled JP Duminy scored a maiden one-day century as South Africa answered the call of coach Mickey Arthur with a 212-run thrashing of Zimbabwe at SuperSport Park yesterday.
South Africa were put into bat and ran riot to compile 331-5 before bowling Zimbabwe out for 119 after 34.3 overs and completing a 2-0 series win.
The Proteas used the mini-series against their lowly northern neighbours to warm up for a tour by England that begins on Friday and includes Twenty20, ODI and Test fixtures. And Duminy is hoping his run continues against England too.
"I just hope I can take this form into the England series. I missed the first Zimbabwe game as a precaution because of shin splints, but I'm fine although there is still a little pain," said Duminy.
Skipper Graeme was also happy with the win.
"It was a very good performance and you have to be happy after winning by more than 200 runs. Now we look forward to the challenges posed by England. We are not the finished article and must keep working."
