SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Dewald Brevis and Tristan Stubbs celebrate a wicket for South Africa.
SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: On the face of it, this is a dead rubber. Zimbabwe are already knocked out after a very spirited and impressive campaign, while South Africa are through to the semifinals already and have more or less already sealed the top spot in the Super 8 group.
Both teams, neighbouring countries in southern Africa, will have very different reasons for wanting to win this contest. South Africa’s reason is to keep the momentum going, still the only unbeaten team in the tournament, with the knowledge that the kind of form and rhythm they are in across the lineup should not fade away, no matter come what.
For Zimbabwe, it’s a matter of pride, particularly for the bowlers who have been hit for 560 combined runs in their last 40 overs. This is a far better team than that number indicates, and as they leave the subcontinent after a campaign in which they beat Australia and Sri Lanka, they will want that to be the lasting thought.
There isn’t much that this game can change on paper – but a potential result for Sikandar Raza and his team could still knock the Proteas off their balance, and have a lasting impact on the remainder of this tournament.
Squads:
Zimbabwe Squad: Sikandar Raza (c), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Clive Madande, Tony Munyonga, Brad Evans, Dion Myers, Tinotenda Maposa, Wellington Masakadza, Tashinga Musekiwa, Ben Curran, Graeme Cremer
South Africa Squad: Aiden Markram (c), Quinton de Kock, Dewald Brevis, David Miller, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Kwena Maphaka, Jason Smith, Anrich Nortje, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs

SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Sikandar Raza wins the toss and opts to BAT
SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Hot day in Delhi and Raza opts to bat first. Admits his team has been battered recently, but wants to leave on a good note despite a lot of injuries.
Markram also would have batted first. Three changes for the Proteas.

SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Toss approaching
SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Not too far from the toss in Delhi, where it is going to be a hot afternoon game. The Delhi pitch typically plays fairly even, leaning towards flatness with runs on offer. Zimbabwe will certainly not want to bowl first again – their template will be their win over Australia in Sri Lanka earlier this tournament.

SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Result has next to no bearing on IND-WI game
SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: The main event of the day will take place at the Eden Gardens in a virtual quarterfinal. There is an off-chance that the winner of that game could rise into first place in the table – but that would require South Africa to be crushed right now, and for a crushing victory in that game as well.
At the moment, it seems like a pretty locked-in bet to say that it will be a South Africa vs New Zealand semifinal at the Eden Gardens.

SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: ZIM already out, but with pride to fight for

SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: South Africa already through to the semifinals
SA vs ZIM T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Thanks to a comfortable victory over the West Indies after captain Aiden Markram played a special innings, to follow up their thumping of India in Ahmedbad, the Proteas have booked their spot in the semifinals in dominant style. They are also likely to finish top of this group with a ridiculous NRR irrespctive of what happens today.
