The third and the final T20I between South Africa and Zimbabwe had to be called off after rain played the spoilsport on Sunday. No play at Willowmoore Park handed a 2-0 series win to South Africa after winning the ODI series 3-0 earlier.


The matches were largely one-sided and South Africa used them to test the depth of their resources, using 22 players across the five matches.


Zimbabwe captain Hamilton Masakadza said his team's batting in South Africa had been disappointing.


“We will have to adapt quickly to Bangladesh conditions. As the top three or four batsmen, we must make sure we build a platform,” he said.






JP Duminy, who was due to captain South Africa on Sunday, said the objective of giving opportunities to several players had been achieved.


“The selectors got a look at quite a few guys,” he said. "We will be going into Australia with some confidence, although it is a work in progress.”


After this rubber, the Proteas are scheduled to travel to Australia later this month for the bilateral series consists of three ODIs and one-off T20I. While Zimbabwe will be off to Bangladesh later this week to play 3 ODIs and 2 Tests.
