On Monday night at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, Group 2 of the Super 12 competition pits South Africa against Zimbabwe. South Africa will play in this game to open the T20 World Cup in 2022. Zimbabwe won Pool B, earning a spot in the Super 12 round.  At 19:00 local time, this match between close neighbors will begin.

Over the past year, South Africa has quietly put together a good white-ball team while remaining under the radar. They will enter this encounter with a lot of confidence.

Zimbabwe has played themselves into a decent run of form recently, despite the fact that they will be underdogs. They are hoping that having played matches at this location in the first round will give them an advantage.

Partially overcast skies and light rain are expected this afternoon. 11 to 13 degrees Celsius will be the temperature range. At 15 to 25 km/h, the wind will be blowing from the west.


SA vs ZIM Match Toss Prediction

The outcomes of the nine T20Is have favored both defensive and chasing sides. Five times the game has been won by the team batting first. But in the last four games, the team pursuing the goal prevailed three times. The toss-winning team will get to bowl first.
