New Zealand and South Africa will lock horns in the final of the Zimbabwe T20I Tri-Series 2025 at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday, July 26.
New Zealand enter the all-important match as the favourites. They have not lost a single game in the lead-up to the final. Tim Seifert and Matt Henry are the leading run-getter and wicket-taker, respectively.
Meanwhile, both of the Proteas' triumphs have come against Zimbabwe while chasing. They have failed to crack open New Zealand until now. South Africa do not have a full-strength squad available. However, they would be equally keen on attaining silverware.
