Zimbabwe vs South Africa prediction

The South African batting juggernaut just can’t stop blowing away the competition right now and the way they dismantled West Indies last time out has to be admired. Despite letting the Windies off the hook after having them 83/7, only for the Men in Maroon to end up on 176/8, South Africa’s top three made mincemeat of their victory target, chasing it down in just over 16 overs for the loss of just one wicket.

Aiden Markram’s unbeaten 82 was key to their success and the Proteas skipper has now racked up 264 runs over the course of this tournament so far, including three scores of fifty or more. Opening the batting for his side, Markram will be expected to be among the runs once again here, especially against a Zimbabwe team who have given up back-to-back scores of over 250 during the Super 8s. Back South Africa’s captain to lead from the front with the bat on the way to what should be a comprehensive Proteas victory.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa tip: South Africa to win and Aiden Markram to score over 27.5 match runs
