South Africa will play against Zimbabwe in the second and last Test match of the series at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, starting July 6, Sunday.
South Africa lead the series 1-0 after a big 328-run win in the first Test. They will try to win again and take the series 2-0. Zimbabwe will look to do better and try to level the series. They have never defeated the Proteas in a Test match.
In the first Test, South Africa batted well. Lhuan-dre Pretorius made his Test debut and scored a hundred in the first innings. Wiaan Mulder followed suit and smashed a century in the second innings.
Zimbabwe’s bowlers could not stop them and their batters did not score enough runs. They had some good moments. Sean Williams scored a hundred. But the team needs to play much better to challenge South Africa.
With Keshav Maharaj injured, Mulder will be the captain in the second Test.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa Pitch Report: Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo
The pitch at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo is good for batting at the start. It stays flat for the first two days. Fast-bowlers may get some help early in the morning with the new ball. As the match goes on, the pitch slows down. By Day 3 or 4, spinners start to get help and batting becomes difficult.
