SA vs ZIM 2nd T20 Dream11 Team Prediction and probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for South Africa vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20I match. We are covering SA vs ZIM 2nd T20 Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the first T20I match. The match is to be played at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom.

The first T20I again provided the glimpses of what happened throughout the ODI series, there were chances for Zimbabwe but South Africa proved superior and clinched the crucial moments. Starting brilliantly, the tourists had the home side pinned down at 11/2 with De Kock and Cloete back in the dugout.

Captain FAF Du Plessis (34 from 20 balls) and the debutant R Van Der Dussen (56 from 44 balls) then rebuilt the innings. David Miller provided the late flurry and South Africa eventually ended up at 160/6. Kyle Jarvis grabbed three wickets while Mpofu and Mavuta bowled economically and tied up the batsmen.

Zimbabwe once again fell prey to Tahir’s leg-spin and was reduced to 11/3 in the first four overs. Later, the leg-spinner struck two more times to complete a five-for. Peter Moor and Brandon Mavuta swung hard but it was too little too late. Dala and Phelukwayo snared two wickets each as Zimbabwe was all out for 126 and SAF picked up 34 runs victory.
