South Africa v Zimbabwe - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Duminy put in a contribution after long for the Proteas

A faultering Amla, a shaky middle-order and unforgivable woes against wrist spin have seen the Proteas plummet to their third successive loss in the series. They were on the back of seventeen successive victories when they were met by the Indian juggernaut. With Chahal and Kuldeep running riot with the ball and Kohli in audacious touch with the willow, the Proteas had nowhere to hide.

Duminy made an all-round contribution today but he, as much or even more than others, has been guilty of doing little to warrant a place in the side. Their troubles against wrist-spin are well documented with them possessing the lowest average against these brand of spinners (11.13) since the Champions Trophy last year.
