Preview

South Africa (SA) will take on Zimbabwe (ZIM) in Match No. 2 of the T20I Tri-Series in Namibia. The game will be played at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on Saturday, August 29.

After suffering an 18-run defeat against hosts Namibia in the opening game, South Africa, led by Bjorn Fortuin, will be keen to bounce back and boost their confidence with a win. However, their lack of experience could prove to be a concern after the Proteas failed to chase down a 164-run target in their previous outing.

Zimbabwe have assembled a strong squad for the tri-series, with talismanic all-rounder Sikandar Raza leading the side. The Chevrons also have several match-winners in their ranks, including Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl and Blessing Muzarabani. Following a challenging series against India, Zimbabwe will be eager to put in a strong performance in Namibia and get their campaign back on track.

Pitch Report

The pitch offers a good balance between bat and ball. However, batting tends to become more difficult as the game progresses. Historically, the venue has favoured teams batting first, so the captain winning the toss should look to bat first and aim to post a total of above 160.

C

Dewald Brevis SA | BAT

Dewald Brevis has scored 772 runs in 31 games. He scored 75 runs in the opening fixture but ended up on the losing side. He will be keen to build on that performance and make a bigger impact in this clash.

9
VC

Brian Bennett ZIM | ALL

Brian Bennett has scored 2,022 runs in 64 games and has been in sensational form in T20 cricket. He will look to continue his aggressive approach and put pressure on the South African bowlers.

6

Prenelan Subrayen SA | ALL

Prenelan Subrayen has picked up five wickets in three games. His ability to extract turn could prove crucial on a surface where batting is expected to become tougher as the game progresses.

9

Sikandar Raza ZIM | ALL

Sikandar Raza has scored more than 3,000 runs and taken over 100 wickets in T20 cricket. His all-round ability makes him one of Zimbabwe’s most important players, and he could play a decisive role in this fixture.

8.5

Duan Jansen SA | BOWL

Duan Jansen made his debut in the tri-series and impressed immediately, picking up two wickets in the opening game. He will be looking to build on that promising start.

8

Blessing Muzarabani ZIM | BOWL

Blessing Muzarabani has taken 114 wickets in 95 T20Is. His height, pace and bounce can make him particularly difficult for batters to counter, and he will be a major threat with the ball.
