High chance of Proteas A side taking odi the series 3-1. Proteas found some good back ups for their seniors. Ryan Rickelton will now create some uncomfort for unperformed
Heinrich Klaasen. A space can be created in proteas middle order for Rickelton to support Miller with power hitting in shorter formats. Hendricks & Hamza will be in contention for making comebacks.
For Zimbabwe, good to see Chatara back with economical spell with 3 wickets so far in the series he would like to add few more and is likely to make comeback in upcomming series against Bangladesh else it has been lovely to watch Zim youths Myers, Marumani & Shumba. Would like to see Ryan Burl in 4th odi, since his finger injury has not been declared official, neither any replacement has been announced for him its clear now he has been punished for asking sponsorship in social media.

We may be about to assemble our best team on paper but I just think we will not win games without match temperament. We seem to be impatient at the crease, play unnecessary shots and lose wickets cheaply. A serious smart coach is needed here to make something out of the talent we have. you never see any Zim team at say 121-1. it is always these 70-3, 80-4 and when you look at the dismals against the match situation at the time it is just poor shot selection or an unnecessary heave. The mindset is not there and that is worrying. There is no strike rotation and the initial instinct is to hit a 4 or a 6.
That's called game awareness which Zim batters needs to learn and this is possible only if they bring a better coach.
