It's a battle between the two African nations in the second fixture of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup on Monday. While this match will mark the start of the campaign for South Africa, Zimbabwe secured their maiden qualification in the second round of the T20 World Cup this year and this is scheduled to be their first Super 12 encounter. The match is scheduled to be played at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
Let us have a look at what the numbers suggest might happen in this match and who look like the favourites to go on to win the match.
1. Toss Prediction
Zimbabwe have played 3 games already but have not yet won a single toss. So going by this trend, expecting their luck to continue to desert them in this match and predicting South Africa to win the toss.
2. Win Possibility
Based on form and reputation, predicting South Africa to win this match. The Proteas are among the top 5 T20I nations in the world at the moment while Zimbabwe are out of the top 10. So, expecting the Men from the Rainbow nation to win.
3. Team of the Day
The Team of the Day is South Africa. They are being touted as among the dark horses of the tournament but would certainly start as overwhelming favourites against Zimbabwe. They have a 100 per cent win record over Zimbabwe winning all 5 T20Is against this opposition.
4. Predicted powerplay Score and Average first innings total
156.83 is the average first innings total at Hobart in T20 World Cup 2022. The predicted powerplay score is expected to be between 40-55. The first match of the day will also be played at the same venue.
