ZIM vs SA Weather Report, Pitch Report Of Harare- Match 1, Zimbabwe T20I Tri Series 2025:
ZIM vs SA Weather Report of Harare:
There is no chance of rain during the ZIM vs SA game in Harare on Monday. The maximum temperature is predicted to be 22°C while the minimum temperature would be 9°C.
ZIM vs SA Harare Sports Club Pitch Report:
The surface at the Harare Sports Club is not a usual T20 wicket where the ball comes on the bat nicely.
There has always been a bit of help for the bowlers at this venue due to the temperature and the timing at which the game starts.
The majority of the games at the Harare Sports Club have been day affairs, which makes batting a bit challenging, especially in the initial few overs with balls nipping after pitching on the surface
The wicket is expected to be no different for the upcoming game between Zimbabwe and South Africa, which is the opening match of the tri-series involving the two teams and New Zealand.
The team that bats first might look to bowl first after winning the toss, as batting becomes a bit easier as the game progresses.
Having said that, the team that wins the toss might look to bat first to put the opposition under pressure by posting an above-par total on the board, considering it's the first match of the triangular series.
Another reason for the team to bat first is the record that this ground possesses. 34 out of the 58 games played at this ground have been won by the team that sets a score first in T20 cricket.
If we look at the resources that other teams have at their disposal, Zimbabwe looks a much more experienced side than South Africa on paper.
Having said that, the young South African team might not have a great amount of experience in terms of playing international cricket, but most of the players in the squad have played three seasons of SA20.
The experience of playing in such a highly competitive league will come in handy when they take the field against the home side, Zimbabwe, in the first match.
Conclusion
Zimbabwe would like to start the series with a win in the first match against South Africa and build momentum for the upcoming games.
South Africa, on the other hand, would want to continue the winning streak they are on in international cricket, having won the WTC final against Australia, followed by the recently concluded two-match Test series against Zimbabwe.
