Zimbabwe take on South Africa in the first T20I at the Harare Sports Club on Monday, July 14. The game is scheduled to be played at 4:30 PM IST.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa 1st T20I Chance of Winning

South Africa have an excellent chance of beating hosts Zimbabwe in the first T20I of the ZIM T20 Tri-Series on Monday, July 14. The T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finalists are walking into the series with a strong squad led by Rassie van der Dussen. The Proteas look covered in all the departments of the game. They have a strong batting unit consisting of Reeza Hendricks, Dewald Brevis, and Van der Dussen himself, and they also boast of a world-class pace unit consisting of Gerald Coetzee, Lungi Ngidi, Nandre Burger and Kwena Maphaka/

Zimbabwe also have a decent side, but they don't have the experience of regularly locking horns with the big teams. Sikandar Raza is the only global star in that team. Brian Bennett is their best batter in the last ten matches but he has scored just 222 runs at an average of Brian Bennett.Zimbabwe haven't beaten South Africa in a T20I match till date,and chances of them breaking the jinx appear to be very low.

• Zimbabwe chances of winning - 20%
• South Africa chances of winning - 80%

Trevor Gwandu of Zimbabwe has picked11 wickets in his last seven outingsat an economy rate of 6.99 and a strike rate of 12.09. Overall, the 27-year-old pacer has picked 14 wickets in as many matches at an average of 18.35. Gwandu was not part of the Test series against South Africa, and would be raring to prove his mark in the T20Is. He could emerge as one of the leading-wicket-taker in the match.

Eyes will be on South Africa all-rounder George Linde, who has picked five wickets in his last two T20I outings at an economy rate of 6.13 and a strike rate of 9.6. Linde is also a handy batter andhas scored 2304 runs at a strike rate of 135.44in his 209-match T20 career. The left-arm spinner has picked 188 wickets in those matches.

Zimbabwe vs South Top Batters

Sikandar Raza to be Zimbabwe’s top batter

Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza is a white-ball superstar from his country. The 39–year-old has scored 2403 runs in 105 T20I matches at an average of 25.83 and a strike rate to 136.07. He has one hundred and 14 T20I fifties to his name.

Reeza Hendricks to be South Africa’s top batter

Reeza Hendricks is very likely to emerge as the leading run-scorer for South Africa. He has scored 2271 runs in 78 T20I matches at an average of 30.28 and a strike rate of 131.72. He has one hundred and 17 fifties to his name in T20I cricket.

He has played a total of 69 T20I matches and picked 80 wickets at an average of 21.38 and a strike rate of 7.11. Nagrava is making a comeback in the Zimbabwe squad, and that could see him leaving no stones unturned to make a fine impression against South Africa.

Gerald Coetzee to be South Africa’s top bowler

Gerald Coetzee is making his comeback to international cricket for the first time after November 2024. The 24-year-old has warmed up nicely for the tournament by participating in the Major League Cricket. He has picked 95 wickets in 74 T20 matches at an average of 23.08. He would be aiming to make his international return a memorable one on Monday.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

South Africa

South Africa are the red hot favourites to beat Zimbabwe in their upcoming fixture. Despite South Africa resting their senior players as part of workload management, South Africa look way ahead of Zimbabwe, who have handed the opportunity to three uncapped players. Zimbabwe have failed to beat South Africa in a T20I match till date, and are already under the pump after facing two massive defeats in the preceding Test series. South Africa's strong top-order and exceptional bowling unit is very likely to blow away Zimbabwe.

• South Africa to win - 1.20 (Parimatch)
