Their top order is scoring runs, and their middle order is contributing. For Zimbabwe, it is all about pride. They have been eliminated already, but they can be a canny opponent on their day.

SA vs ZIM: Pitch Report
Arun Jaitley Stadium is an excellent deck to bat on. The wicket has good bounce and pace, which helps the batters to time the big shot. That makes it tough for the bowling side to defend. It is very hard to defend a total here, which is why we might see both captains looking to bat first. It is a high-scoring venue, and we might see several sixes in this game.

SA vs ZIM: Players to Watch out for
Zimbabwe: Brian Bennett will be the player to watch out for. He scored an unbeaten 97 against a quality Indian attack and will look to end the tournament on a high.
South Africa: Everyone is performing well for South Africa. But if we have to pick on player, it will be captain Aiden Markram, who has been in excellent form and is among the top scorers in the tournament.
South Africa vs Zimbabwe Today’s Match Prediction: Zimbabwe did pretty well in the group stage on the Sri Lankan pitches. Their bowlers got a lot of purchase on those slow surfaces. But the wickets in India are more in favor of batters, where they have struggled to get going. That is why they have conceded 250+ totals in consecutive matches.
Their batting is largely dependent on the top order. But with South Africa, it doesn't look weak at the moment. Their batting order is firing at their best. With the ball, their fast bowlers are taking wickets, and spinners are playing their part. Hence, South Africa will be firm favorites to win this game.
