The Zimbabwean top-order batsmen failed to capitalise after their skipper Heath Streak won a good toss at Bloemfontein on Saturday. After making a slow start, they allowed themselves to be rocked by Chris Cairns, making his first serious bowling contribution in the tournament. The star New Zealand all-rounder claimed two wickets in his only spell - snaring the dangerous Craig Wishart with a leg-cutter before benefiting from an unnecessary error by Guy Whittall - as the Zimbabweans were left reeling at 65/4 in the 17th over.
