South Africa won the second Test of the two-match series against Zimbabwe by an innings and 236 runs at Bulawayo's Queens Sports Club. In this manner, they won the 0–2 series, having previously secured a win in the first game at the same stadium by a record 328-run margin. The visitors began the third day of the series very well with the ball. Zimbabwe, having been back on Day 3 at the overnight score of 51/1 in 16 overs, only mustered 13 runs from their initial seven overs of the day. Codi Yusuf, especially, was very menacing as he led the Proteas pace attack. The evening's first wicket was recorded through Senuran Muthusamy, who struck in his first over of the innings. Takudzwanashe Kaitano, set for his second Test half-century, was forced to trudge back for 40 off 76. The left-arm spin of Muthusamy was near enough to deliver another wicket on the first delivery of his third over. But David Bedingham at backward point dropped a chance that allowed a couple of runs to be added to the total. It was the same way over where Nick Welch drove the hosts' first six. Sean Williams, who had fought single-handedly during the first innings, was sent back to the pavilion for just 11 as a result of a Wiaan Mulder ball. There was not much happening from there until Lunch was announced. Nick Welch, with a series to forget himself as he managed to get only 14 runs from the last three innings, hit his half-century three overs before the end of the morning session. But he could not actually add anything meaningful post-break. Welch (55 from 126) was dispatched by Muthusamy, with the visiting skipper having to hardly budge in the first slip.

Hamza did not necessarily have to lament the missed chance since Madhevere was speared right in front in the next over. Wicketkeeper-batter Tafadzwa Tsiga walked out after Zimbabwe lost their fifth wicket. Test newcomer Lesego Senokwane, who was out after facing 36-ball within the first day's play, did have something to thank himself for as he retained a catch at short midwicket to send Tsiga back for a solitary run within the 20 deliveries he managed to face. Four fours short of his fifty was Craig Ervine when that particular over ended, Zimbabwe's 59th. Five overs went by subsequently, with Ervine remaining stuck on 49. The Zimbabwe captain had to leave one short of his fifty after facing 49 deliveries, following Corbin Bosch's dismissal of him caught by the keeper off the only Zimbabwean batter who had fallen on Day 2. The bowler hit once again after three additional balls, as it dismissed Kundai Matigimu. The off stump went cartwheeling as the Proteas were just a couple of wickets away from victory. Bosch's fourth wicket came in the form of Blessing Muzarabani, who was sent packing for an 11-ball duck. Senokwane recorded his second catch of the match, this time at third slip. The last-wicket stand between Wellington Masakadza (17* off 62) and Tanaka Chivanga (22 off 26) lasted for a little while and scored 36 runs on the board before the latter was dispatched by Muthusamy on the third ball of the 78th over.
