Their all-round strength and depth in both batting and bowling make them a tough opponent for Zimbabwe. However, playing at home, Zimbabwe will have the advantage of familiar conditions and could cause an upset. The contest will be decided by how both teams adapt to the conditions and execute their strategies. South Africa will likely look to dominate, but Zimbabwe’s fighting spirit could make this a closely contested match. It's sure to be an exciting start to the series!
