The declared their innings at 418/9.
Star player from South Africa, Corbin Bosch has been in a scintillating form in the last couple of years across international cricket and T20 leagues. The right-hand batter has also evolved a bit in the red ball format as he smashed his maiden Test century against Zimbabwe in the ongoing first Test after making a solid debut against Pakistan.
The Proteas’ all-rounder came out to bat at No.8 and ended up playing an unbeaten innings of 100 off 124 balls, becoming only the seventh South African to score a hundred in that batting order.

The dynamic all-rounder stepped onto the field when South Africa was reeling at 181-6. At that point, it was looking difficult for South Africa to reach 250 but Bosch had other plans. He batted patiently and supported Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who also played an innings of 153 runs.
After the wicket of Pretorius, the 30-year-old took the onus and kept tormenting the Zimbabwe bowlers all around the park. The likes of Keshav Maharaj and Codi Yusuf also provided support to Bosch and as a result, South Africa scored 418 runs in the first innings of the game. In the process of making a century, the Mumbai Indians’ batter also hit 10 fours, showing his finesse as a batter.
On the back of a terrific batting, Bosch proved that he can ace any format of the game. He will look to continue his dream form in the upcoming games also for South Africa.
