4. Zimbabwe in South Africa (2010)- 1705 runs:
South Africa took full advantage of Zimbabwe’s weak bowling attack when they hosted Brendon Taylor’s men for a three-match series in 2010. The Proteas had batted first twice in the series and had scored 351 and 399 while in the remaining game, they had scored 273 while chasing 269. Zimbabwe too did not fare badly with the bat as they had scored over 250 in two matches but they lacked the finishing abilities which saw their fancied opponents bagging the series 3-0.
