After pacer Nandre Burger took 3-30, while Keshav Maharaj and Beuran Hendricks picked 2-51 and 2-34, respectively to bowl out India for 211, left-handed opener Tony de Zorzi smashed a superb 119 not out off 122 balls, laced with nine fours and six sixes, to chase down the total in 42.3 overs.
“A lot better than a couple of days ago. Much better overall performance. Much better with the ball and in the field. It was going around when the openers went out to bat. They [Zorzi and Reeza Hendricks] put up a 100-run partnership and set up the game, that was great.
