ZIM vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today, T20 Tri-series, 1st Match: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing XI, and Pitch Report

Sandip Pawar

Fantasy tips for the 1st Match between Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Zimbabwe (ZIM) are set to host South Africa (SA) and New Zealand in a tri-nation T20 series. The first match will have the home side taking on South Africa at Harare Sports Club. Here, we look into the ZIM vs SA Dream11 Prediction.

Zimbabwe haven’t played T20Is since February, when they beat Ireland by 1-0 in a three-match series. Sikandar Raza will lead the team with Richard Ngarava returning from a back injury. Brian Bennett is cleared to play after he had suffered a concussion during the Test series. 

The Proteas last played the format in December last year. They beat Pakistan 2-0, with one game getting washed out. Rassie van der Dussen will lead South Africa with several new faces on the side, including Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Dewald Brevis, and Rubin Hermann.
