Preview

South Africa and Zimbabwe will battle it out in the Tri-Series final in Namibia on Sunday, September 6. This mouth-watering clash will be played at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek.

Bjorn Fortuin-led South Africa started their campaign with a disappointing defeat to hosts Namibia. However, the young Proteas side showed tremendous character to register three consecutive victories, two against Zimbabwe and one against Namibia, to finish top of the standings and reach the final.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe have made it to the summit clash, but they won't be too pleased with their performance so far. They registered two wins against Namibia, one of them being by just five runs, but lost both games against the Proteas. Zimbabwe have never beaten South Africa in the shortest format. If they can break that streak on Sunday, they will have their hands on silverware.

Pitch Report

The pitch has been quite good for batting. However, there has also been some assistance for the bowlers. The average first-innings score has been around 179 and four out of the six games have been won by teams batting first. However, don't be surprised if the captain who wins the toss still decides to bowl first.
