ZIM vs SA Head-to-Head Records- Key Statistics
Zimbabwe and South Africa don't play a lot of Test matches against each other, which is evident by the fact that the two teams last met in this format before the ongoing series in 2017 for a four-day Test
The two teams have faced each other in a total of ten Test matches so far, which have been a pretty one-sided affair to say the least.
No prizes for guessing that it is South Africa who have nine of the ten matches, with one match ending in a draw.
The last of the ten matches came in the ongoing two-match Test series, which the Proteas won comfortably in the end.
Having said that, the visitors found themselves in a bit of trouble in the early stages of the game during the first Test after losing four wickets for less than 100 runs on the board
It was the pair of Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Dewald Brevis that bailed the team out of trouple and was well supported by Corbin Bosch lower down the order.
South Africa will be elated by the way their lower middle order responsded in pressure situation with centuries from the bat of Pretorius and Bosch along with a crucial half century by Dewald Brevis.
However, Zimbabwe would take confidence from the fact that they were able to clean the South African top order early in both innings.
If we talk about the results of the ten Test matches played between Zimbabwe and South Africa, there is not much to say about Zimbabwe's performance, but the story is slightly different in white ball cricket.
The only shining light for the home side in an otherwise disappointing performance against South Africa in Test cricket is that they were able to draw a match against them at Queens Sports Club in 2001.
