Here are some of the best bets for this Zimbabwe vs South Africa T20 Tri-series, 1st Match.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius is coming off outstanding form in the recent Test series. The young prodigy had a magnificent SA20 campaign earlier this year. He scored 397 runs in the tournament at an average of 33 while striking at 167, including three half-centuries.
Rassie van der Dussen has been a consistent performer in the shorter format. He scored 393 runs in the SA20 season at an average of 49. He hit only one fifty but made consistent good scores.
Sikandar Raza has been in great form in the shorter format. He has made 696 in T20 cricket this year at an average of 30 and a strike rate of 142, including four fifties. He has also taken 25 wickets with the ball at an economy of 8.17.
The pitches at Harare Sports Club are usually pretty balanced, with good enough help for batters and bowlers. It has hosted 50 T20 internationals, with the average first innings score of 156.
ALSO READ:
Zimbabwe and South Africa have faced each other only four times in the shorter format. The Proteas have been victorious in three games by heavy margins while their most recent encounter ended in a no result in 2022.
Zimbabwe just couldn’t compete in the Test series against South Africa as they lost both the games. They will be hoping for a better turnaround in the T20 tri-series.
Their previous assignment in the shorter format was back in February when they hosted Ireland. Two of the games were washed out due to rain while Zimbabwe clinched one match by three wickets.
Sikandar Raza will continue to lead the side. Left-arm pacer Richard Ngarava returns after recovering from a back injury. Brian Bennett, who suffered a concussion during the Test series, has been cleared to play.
Possible XI: Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Wessly Madhevere, Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, Tafadzwa Tsiga (wk), Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, Trevor Gwandu.
The Proteas were clinical in the Test series, with their young generation delivering solid performances. They will now shift their focus to the shorter format.
South Africa haven’t played T20Is this year, with their last series coming in December. They defeated Pakistan 2-0 in the three-match series.
It’s a new-look side for South Africa on this tour, with their frontline players rested. Rassie van der Dussen will lead the side and is likely to open the innings with Lhuan-dre Pretorius. Lungi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee, Kwena Maphaka, Corbin Bosch, and George Linde could comprise the bowling attack.
Possible XI: Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Rassie van der Dussen (c), Reeza Hendricks, Dewald Brevis, Rubin Hermann (wk), George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Lungi Ngidi, Kwena Maphaka.
