ZIM vs SA 1st T20I: All you need to know, head to head, playing XI
Zimbabwe and South Africa will be locking horns in the first match of the T20I tri-series on Monday at Harare Sports Club, Harare. This is the first match of the three-team T20I series that also features New Zealand. South Africa come into this series with a new-look squad, having drafted four uncapped players.
Their young guns, including Corbin Bosch, Lhuan‑dre Pretorius, Rubin Hermann and Senuran Muthusamy, will be eager to seize the opportunity. The Proteas will be led by senior player Rassie van der Dussen as they look to stamp their authority early on.
For Zimbabwe, this is a massive opportunity to challenge the Proteas while leveraging the home conditions. They will rely on experienced performers like Ryan Burl, Sikandar Raza, Clive Madande and Blessing Muzarabani to upstage a rather experienced South African team.
