ENGLAND A TO GAUTENG

UNBEATEN in Zimbabwe, England A leave for South Africa on Monday on the second stage of their winter tour. England completed a clean 3-0 sweep in the one-day international series against their Zimbabwe following a two-wicket victory in Harare on Saturday. England A won with just five balls to spare to make it 3-0 in the series and add a final triumph to their victories in the two five-day games. The tourists now face a four-day match against Gauteng in Johannesburg before taking on what is guaranteed to be a strong President’s XI in a five-day encounter in Cape Town.
