South Africa beats Zimbabwe by 7 wickets in T20 series to set up final against New Zealand
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Rubin Hermann hit four sixes and 63 runs as South Africa beat Zimbabwe by seven wickets with 16 balls remaining in a T20 tri-series match on Sunday. The comfortable win means South Africa and New Zealand will contest the final on Saturday after Zimbabwe lost for the third straight time. Chasing a target of 145, Hermann and captain Rassie van der Dussen (52 not out in 41 deliveries) led the chase at Harare Sports Club. They took South Africa from 22-2 to 128-3 when Hermann, who also hit three fours in his 36-ball innings, was bowled by Richard Ngarava. Van der Dussen was there at the end with Dewald Brevis as South Africa scored 145-3 in 17.2 overs, winning the match with a wide bowled by Trevor Gwandu. Zimbabwe earlier lost the toss and scored 144-6 in its 20 overs. Brian Bennett top-scored for the hosts with a 43-ball 61, which included three sixes and seven fours. Bennett shared a 78-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Ryan Burl (36 not out in 31 balls). Fast-medium pacer Corbin Bosch took 2-16 in four overs. Table-topper New Zealand plays second-placed South Africa in a dead-rubber match on Tuesday. Both teams have four points but the South Africans have played one more game. ___ AP cricket:

Burger and Coetzee return to provide pace for Proteas in T20 tri-series
'Rassie has led the side before and brings experience to the role, while providing valuable support to the younger players on this tour,' Conrad said. Corbin Bosch, Senuran Muthusamy, Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Rubin Hermann all earned their first call ups for the T20 side. 'Lhuan-dré and Rubin have been rewarded for their outstanding domestic form in the SA20 and we're excited to see how they adapt to the demands of international cricket. We know what Corbin has to offer at this level and we are keen to see how his Test and ODI skills will translate to the T20I arena,' said Conrad. 'Having three quality spin options gives us a great deal of variety, especially in conditions like Harare. Senuran has been impressive in the domestic set-up and his ability to contribute with the bat adds great balance to the squad.' SA squad for T20 Tri-Series in Zimbabwe: Rassie van der Dussen (capt), Corbin Bosch, Dewald Brevis, Nandre Burger, GeraldCoetzee, Reeza Hendricks, Rubin Hermann, George Linde, Kwena Maphaka, Senuran Muthusamy, Lungi Ngidi, Nqaba Peter, Lhuan-dré Pretorius, Andile Simelane
