ZIM vs SA Match Prediction

Zimbabwe (ZIM) will take on South Africa (SA) in the ongoing Zimbabwe T20 Tri-Series on Sunday, July 20, at the Harare Sports Club in Harare.

The hosts are still in search of their first win in the tournament, having lost both of their matches so far. They will be eager to bounce back and get on the board with a victory in front of their home crowd. They will stand a chance to remain in the race, only if they secure a win in both their remaining matches of the series. Their probability of making it through is slim, but cricket is filled with great surprises, and the Chevrons can certainly upset the tourists.

The Proteas, on the other hand, started their campaign with a five-wicket win over Zimbabwe but fell short in their next match against New Zealand. With one win and one loss, the Proteas will look to regroup and come back stronger to stay in contention for a spot in the final. A win on Sunday will confirm them a seat in the finals, as the hosts are nearly out of the competition after suffering back-to-back defeats. If it happens, they will play New Zealand in the summit clash on the coming Saturday.

Harare Sports Club Pitch Report

The surface at Harare Sports Club offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. While fast bowlers are likely to find some assistance in the early overs, especially with the new ball, spinners tend to come into play as the match progresses. Despite the support for bowlers, batters have generally found it easy to score once they settle in. The previous match at the venue saw New Zealand chase down the target with ease, and as a result, batting second can be a fruitful decision on Sunday as well.

The left-arm medium pacer Richard Ngarava could be a key figure for Zimbabwe in their must-win clash against South Africa. He is known for his pace and ability to swing the ball, and his early spells can put pressure on the opposition. His four-over quota will be vital in restricting South Africa’s batting line-up, and a strong performance from him could play a major role in helping Zimbabwe secure their first win of the tri-series.
