After the Proteas win against Australia in the final of the Triangular series held in Harare, we look at the top performers. Gareth Stevens reports.

It’s easy to see why South Africa was the dominant team when you look at the stats. They had more batsmen and bowlers in the top five of their respective disciplines than Australia. Faf du Plessis was the standout player of the tournament, scoring nearly double the amount of runs of his closest rival. He proved to be the difference between the two sides once again in the final.
