ZIM vs SA Head-to-Head Records- Key Statistics
Zimbabwe and South Africa haven't featured in a lot of T20Is. The last T20I outing between the two sides came during the T20 World Cup 2022, which was a washout.
The last completed T20I match was played between the two sides in the year 2018 when Zimbabwe and South Africa were involved in a two-match T20I series in South Africa, which the home team won comfortably.
As far as the overall head-to-head record of the six ZIM vs SA T20I games is concerned, South Africa has a significant lead with five wins, while Zimbabwe is still in search of its first win.
South Africa has won all five matches by a big margin, which makes them favorites to win the upcoming match as well.
The visitors are going into the tri series with a young squad with as many as four uncapped played in the team, which is missing some big names like that of regular captain Aiden Markram.
Markram will be replaced by Rassie van der Dussen for this particular series involving Zimbabwe and New Zealand as the other two teams.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, has been boosted by the return of experienced all-rounder Sikandar Raza, who was not a part of the Test squad that took on South Africa in the recently concluded two-match series.
Raza will also lead the side, which sees the return of experienced fast bowler Richard Ngarava as well, after an injury.
Zimbabwe is relatively more experienced of the two sides on paper and will look to start the series by winning the first game.
As far as South Africa is concerned, the Rassie van der Dussen-led side might be short on international experience, but they have the experience of playing in the SA20, which will come in handy during this series.
