Hosts Singapore face Zimbabwe as the first set of fixtures in their Tri-Nation Series are wrapped up at the Indian Association Ground. The match takes place on September 29 and the live action starts at 19:30 local time.

Singapore Team News & Playing 11
SIN Team News
Navin Param, Sidhant Singh and Araman Sunil all played their first T20 internationals for Singapore last time out. With the hosts having named an 18-strong squad, there is plenty of room for rotation too.
SIN Key Players
Tim David: Continued his outstanding form last time out as he hit 64* from 44 balls in the opening game. He was in blistering form in the CWC Challenge League too, and had already hit a big half-century against Nepal in T20i cricket prior to that.
Janak Prakash: Hit 25* in his first meaningful T20i innings last time out before claiming 1-10 from three overs with the ball. He has six wickets in four games and an economy rate of 4.83 in T20i cricket with his medium-pace bowling.
Surendran Chandramohan: Like David, he was in good form in the T20 World Cup qualifier and then again in the CWC Challenge League. He then hit 35 from 26 balls, including five fours and a six, against Nepal last time out.
SIN Team Form
Defeat to Nepal last time out was Singapore’s first ever T20 international loss. They had won their previous three games, against Qatar, Malaysia and Nepal, in the Asian Regional Finals of the T20 World Cup qualifier.
Tim David top-scored last time out, with 64* in a total of 151/3, but Nepal needed just 16 overs to seal a nine-wicket win.
