ZIM vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – Zimbabwe Tri Series 2025.

Match Preview

After an excellent performance in the Test series, South Africa will look to stamp its authority on the T20 format as well, as Zimbabwe hosts it for the first T20 of the tri-series this Monday.

Keeping an eye on the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held in the Indian subcontinent next year, South Africa has planned to increase its bench strength by bringing in fresh talent from the domestic pool.

The likes of Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Rubin Hermann have played well in the SA20 and earned their maiden call-up on the international stage. Zimbabwe on the other hand has decided to stick with a tested combination as it looks to make the most out of home conditions.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no reports of injuries from either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The surface at the Harare Sports Club is likely to be dry and dusty, and the bowlers, particularly the spinners, are likely to have the upper hand here. The batsmen will have to wait for the right balls to play their shots and scoring runs isn’t easy here. The average first-inning score here is around 150 and chasing anything over 170-180 will be difficult.

The weather will remain clear with pleasant temperatures and no forecast for rain.

ZIM vs SA Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Lhuan-dre Pretorius is our choice here. He is likely to make his international debut here but is coming in the back of some excellent performances in the SA20.

Batters

Rassie van der Dussen and Reeza Hendricks are known for their explosive brand of batting and have made it to our team. We are also selecting Brian Bennett here.

All Rounders

There are plenty of all-rounders to choose from on both sides. We are including Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, Corbin Bosch, and George Linde.

Bowlers

Since three of our all-rounders are slower bowlers, we are going for three full-time seamers in this category Lungi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee, and Blessing Muzarabani.

ZIM vs SA Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are selecting Rassie van der Dussen as the captain of our team. He is one of the most experienced batsmen in the team and could go on and play an important role here.

Vice-Captain

Sikandar Raza is Zimbabwe’s most prolific all-rounder in recent years and has a lot of experience playing in these conditions.

We reckon that the bowlers could play an important role in this match and therefore advise you to select a strong bowling lineup.
