Match 1 of the Zimbabwe T20I tri-series will feature hosts Zimbabwe taking on South Africa at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. South Africa comes into the series fresh from a 2-0 Test series win and will look to carry that momentum into the T20Is. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be aiming to put up a strong fight against the Proteas in this opening clash.
South Africa will be without several of their core T20I players but still field a well-balanced squad led by Rassie van der Dussen. Zimbabwe will be captained by Sikandar Raza, leading a mix of youth and experience.
Top fantasy picks for this match include Dewald Brevis, Corbin Bosch, and Rassie van der Dussen from South Africa, along with Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, and Blessing Muzarabani from Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa: Harare Sports Club Pitch Report
It is anticipated that the Harare Sports Club's surface will help bowlers from the outset by providing more pace and bounce. To score runs in the powerplay, batters will need to time their shots carefully. The pitch will probably level out as the match goes on, which might allow spinners to be used in the middle overs. At this stadium, the average first-inning total is 151. The captain who wins the toss may decide to bat first because Harare is expected to see clear weather.
