BULAWAYO: Quinton de Kock's quickfire 84 fired South Africa to a crushing 3-0 series victory over Zimbabwe as they won the third one-day international by seven wickets on Thursday in Bulawayo.

De Kock wasted little time in his 75-ball innings and was aided by 40 from 33 balls by stand-in captain Faf du Plessis, as the Proteas chased down a target of 166 in just 27.2 overs.
