South Africa Tour Of Zimbabwe Match Prediction and Tips
South Africa will travel to Zimbabwe for a two-Test series beginning June 28 in Bulawayo. This marks an important developmental window for both sides — South Africa fields a young, second-string squad under stand-in captain Keshav Maharaj, while Zimbabwe begins a packed home season with several experienced names unavailable due to injuries and overseas commitments.

Zimbabwe will be without key players like Sikandar Raza, Richard Ngarava, and Ben Curran for this series. In their place, the squad features a mix of youth and experience — including captain Craig Ervine, veteran Sean Williams, and rising talents like Brian Bennett and Wessly Madhevere. The inclusion of legspinner Vincent Masekesa and seamer Trevor Gwandu reflects Zimbabwe's intent to build squad depth while remaining competitive at home.
South Africa, meanwhile, has opted to rest key stars like Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram, Marco Jansen, and Ryan Rickelton. Temba Bavuma is out injured, allowing Keshav Maharaj to lead a youthful side featuring Dewald Brevis, David Bedingham, Matthew Breetzke, and uncapped pacers like Codi Yusuf and Kwena Maphaka.
With only two players in the squad having played 20+ Tests, this series will test South Africa’s bench strength as they gear up for the next WTC cycle starting later this year.

Various factors are assessed when we make our predictions, such as:
Season Injuries
With South Africa resting several senior players and Zimbabwe missing key names like Raza, Ngarava, and Curran, squad depth and adaptability will be crucial. We monitor player availability and late changes to line-ups closely.
Weather Conditions
Bulawayo is expected to be dry but chilly in late June and early July. There may be some overcast mornings which could offer swing early in the day. Spinners may come into play as the pitch wears down.
Venue
Both Tests will be played in Bulawayo, where the pitch is known to be slow and low. That gives spinners and patient batters an edge, especially in the middle and later stages of the match.
Pitch Conditions
Expect batting to be difficult early on due to lack of pace and bounce. As the Tests progress, spin is likely to dominate proceedings, making the toss and team composition very important.
Player and Team Stats
We weigh recent domestic and international form, first-class stats, and adaptability to subcontinental conditions. Dewald Brevis, Kyle Verreynne, David Bedingham, and Keshav Maharaj will be critical for the visitors. For Zimbabwe, Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, and Blessing Muzarabani will carry the bulk of the responsibility.
Head-to-Head Record
South Africa have historically dominated Zimbabwe in Test cricket. The Proteas have won all of their previous Test encounters, often by large margins. Zimbabwe will aim to break that streak at home, while South Africa’s new faces look to impress selectors before bigger tours later in the year.
