ZIM T20I Tri-Series final: NZ vs SA: All you need to know, head-to-head, playing XI
The final of the Zimbabwe T20I tri-series will see New Zealand face South Africa on Saturday at Harare Sports Club, Harare, setting the stage for a blockbuster showdown. Both sides have been in sensational form so far in the series, delivering eye-catching performances across all departments. The Black Caps will head into the final on the back of a commanding 60-run win against Zimbabwe in the seventh match of the tournament. Zimbabwe, who have been winless throughout the series, have already been eliminated from the series.
South Africa, on the other hand, have also been successful in the series, but they were unsuccessful in the past two encounters against New Zealand. They faced New Zealand twice (2nd and 5th encounters) in the series, but they failed to claim victory on either occasion. Nonetheless, they would look to put the defeats behind and hope to come back stronger to win the series.
