NZ vs SA: The T20I Tri-Series in Zimbabwe had so many incredible moments. Eventually, Zimbabwe were not able to compete against the two good opponents, and the two visiting sides will be facing each other in the final. This final will commence on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 PM at Harare Sports Club. New Zealand have shown why they are so versatile in this format. They have won all four games, and every time, some new player stepped out.
They have already beaten South Africa two times in the last week or so and will fancy their chances in the final. Everyone will want South Africa to put up a good show. The Proteas have a young squad, and qualifying for the final was expected of them. But can they beat this strong New Zealand side? They surely need a strong performance from their batters to challenge them.

NZ vs SA: Pitch Report
The pitch has been slow and dry. Under the sunlight, the surface might bring some turn for the spinners. However, the ball skids here more, and pacers become hard to handle. However, batters will like the ball coming onto the bat. In 66 T20Is at this venue, the average score here is 151.

NZ vs SA: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keeper: Tim Seifert (Captain), Rubin Hermann, Devon Conway,
· Batsmen: Rachin Ravindra, Dewald Brevis (Vice Captain)
· All-rounders: Michael Bracewell, George Linde, Mitch Santner, Corbin Bosch
· Bowlers: Matt Henry, Lungi Ngidi
Dream11 Prediction: New Zealand will have the edge inform and experience, and they will start this game as firm favorites. If South Africa need to win, they need early wickets. But the issue is that their bowling unit is also inexperienced.
But this match will make things even because the team with fewer errors will get an edge. The chase always becomes difficult at this venue, so both teams will look to bowl first. But as of now, New Zealand are suited to get a win here.
