South Africa Form
South Africa got this Triangular series off to a flying start on Monday, beating hosts Zimbabwe by five wickets.
The Proteas bowled first, restricting Zimbabwe to 141 in their 20 overs. Lungi Ngidi may have only taken one wicket, but he went for less than four to the over. George Linda was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-10 in three overs.
Young start batsman, Lhuan-dre Pretorius was out first ball of the innings in the chase, but Rubin Hermann steadied the ship with neat 45. Dewald Brevis then smashed 41 off 17 balls to see South Africa home with four overs to spare.
South Africa Team News
Expect some rotation throughout this tournament from South Africa. They have a young squad and everyone will need to get a chance.
New Zealand Form
New Zealand’s last T20 series took place in March this year on home soil. They beat Pakistan 4-1 in a five-match series.
The Black Caps will hope to carry that form forward to Zimbabwe. They have a strong side at their disposal with most top players on tour.
In their fifth T20I match against Pakistan, New Zealand bowled first and held Pakistan to 128 in 20 overs. Tim Seifert then took chance, smashing 97 off 28 balls to secure a win in 10 overs.
New Zealand Team News
Mitchell Santner is captain of a strong Black Caps side. Time Seifert, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Devon Conway and Ish Sodhi are all part of the squad.
Verdict
New Zealand are backed to win with Tim Seifert to top score. Dewald Brevis is backed for South Africa in the same market.
