Zimbabwe National Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: All-rounder Corbin Bosch delivered a sensational performance, securing his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket to complement his unbeaten maiden century, as a much-changed South Africa comprehensively defeated hosts Zimbabwe by 328 runs on Day Four of the first Test on Tuesday. Zimbabwe, set a daunting target of 537 for victory, were bowled out for 208 in the afternoon session.

Bosch, who had earlier finished South Africa's first innings on 100 not out, spearheaded the bowling attack with figures of 5-43. Debutant seamer Codi Yusuf provided excellent support, chipping in with 3-22.

For Zimbabwe, Wellington Masakadza top-scored with 57 runs, and captain Craig Ervine contributed 49. However, it was largely a procession of wickets for the rest of the batting lineup after Zimbabwe resumed the day on 32-1.

South Africa fielded only four of the players who defeated Australia in the World Test Championship final at Lord's earlier this month.

"Bosch is new to the international scene, but he's really fit in well. To see him conquer both facets (bat and ball) in this test was really special," stand-in South Africa captain Keshav Maharaj said at the post-match presentation.

"We know the talent within our system. It was getting them in the right frame of mind to execute, and they showed that throughout the four days."

Zimbabwe were immediately under pressure on the fourth morning when Nick Welch was caught off the first ball of the day by short-leg Tony de Zorzi from the bowling of Bosch for a golden duck.

The latter then claimed the prized wicket of Sean Williams, who made a superb 137 in Zimbabwe's first innings, as the batter skied a top edge to wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne for 26.

Ervine and Masakadza provided some resistance with a stand of 83 for the seventh wicket, but when the former was caught from an excellent diving effort from De Zorzi off the bowling of Bosch, South Africa mopped up the tail.

The match finished with a first test wicket for part-time leg-spinner Dewald Brevis, who had Tanaka Chivanga stumped by Verreynne.

"From a batting perspective, a few guys got starts, including myself, but we need to go on and get 100s, 30s and 40s won't cut it at this level," Ervine said.

He added the team will monitor opening batter Brian Bennett ahead of the second test after he was struck on the helmet in Zimbabwe’s first innings and suffered a concussion.
