South Africa are favourites to win
South Africa take on Zimbabwe in Group 2 of the Super 12 stage at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart on Monday evening. This will be South Africa’s first match of the 2022 T20 World Cup. Zimbabwe qualified for the Super 12 stage after finishing top of Pool B. Read on as we preview this match. This fixture between near-neighbours gets underway at 19:00 local time.
South Africa have gone under the radar over the last 12 months but have been quietly putting together a strong white ball side. They will be very confident ahead of this match.
Although Zimbabwe will be underdogs, they have played themselves into a good run of form over recent months. They will hope that their match practice at this venue from the first round will give them an added advantage.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
We have seen more teams bat first than bowl first after winning the toss in Hobart. We predict that both skippers will choose to bat first in this game.
There is some good pace and bounce on this wicket but it is not all easy for the batters. There is also turn and movement off the pitch for the quick bowlers. A par score will be around 160.
There is a high chance of rain throughout this match. There will be plenty of cloud and the temperature will be no higher than 13 degrees.

Dwaine Pretorius is the only South African first choice player who is unavailable for this game and he will miss the complete T20 World Cup 2022 tournament after picking up a thumb injury during the recent tour of India. We expect Rilee Rossouw to get selected ahead of Tristan Stubbs in the line-up.
South Africa lost two matches against India but have still won three of their last five.

Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Reeza Hendricks, Rilee Rossouw, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi
There was one change for Zimbabwe for their final game of the pool stage against Scotland. Skipper Craig Ervine, who had been forced to miss an earlier clash in the first round due to an asthma attack was back to full health to lead the side.
Zimbabwe have won three of their last four IT20s
Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine (c), Wesley Madhevere, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani
This will be the sixth contest between South Africa and Zimbabwe in IT20s and Zimbabwe are still looking for their first win. They came closest in 2010 when South Africa won by only eight runs.

In spite of Zimbabwe’s progression from the opening stage, they come into this game as underdogs with South Africa strong favourites with the bookies.

Any team with Sikandar Raza in the side will always have a chance of winning a game. However, if South Africa’s batters and bowlers play to their ability level then they should have no problem beating Zimbabwe.
We are backing Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram and Reeza Hendricks with the bat for South Africa. Hendricks has hit 11 half-centuries in IT20s.
Sean Williams, Craig Ervine and Sikanda Raza are our batting tips for Zimbabwe. Williams has a top score of 66 from his 61 IT20s.
Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Tabraiz Shamsi are our bowling picks for South Africa. Shamsi has 69 wickets in his IT20 career so far.
We recommend Blessing Muzarabani, Sikandar Raza and Tendai Chatara with the ball for Zimbabwe. Muzarabani has six wickets in the T20 World Cup.
This should be an excellent contest with South Africa haveing a very talented side but Zimbabwe impressing many observers with their performances in the tournament so far. We predict that Zimbabwe will cause a few problems but are backing South Africa to win the game.
