Zimbabwe A had won the third match of the series on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method on Wednesday, which had set up an exciting final match as a win for the home team would have seen the series end level at 2-2.

Reeza Hendricks top scored with 89 runs off 105 deliveries having put away nine fours and was supported by 55 from Tony de Zorzi, the visitors, who lost the toss and were sent in to bat ending their innings on 281/6 in 50 overs.

Hendricks and Ryan Rickelton put on 71 for the second wicket before the latter fell for 40. De Zorzi and Hendricks made sure South Africa A got a good score to defend with a 107-stand for the fourth wicket.
