Zimbabwe take on South Africa in the first Test match of the two game bilateral series at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. The game is scheduled to be played on Jun 28 at 01:30 PM IST.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa Chance of Winning

Zimbabwe head into the new Test cycle after struggling to make an impact in Tests as they have one win in the last 13 matches. In the last game they travelled to England after almost three decades and got dominated by the home side. England scored 565 runs and Zimbabwe lost the game by an innings and 45 runs.

South Africa have been sensational in the last WTC cycle as they head into this game after eight consecutive wins in Test format. South Africa went head to head against Australia in the WTC finals and they beat Australia with five wickets to spare. As per our calculations, South Africa are favourites in the upcoming game.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Craig Ervine has been solid for Zimbabwe in Test matches as he has been consistent. In the last game against England he scored 42 runs in the first innings which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Tony de Zorzi missed the WTC Finals but we expect him to return in the starting line up and to make an instant impact against an inexperienced bowling lineup for Zimbabwe. We believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa Match Toss Prediction

Historically the venue has suited the team that bowled first. The last two matches have been won by the team that batted first which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bat first in the upcoming game.

Zimbabwe vs South Africa Betting Odds

South Africa to have a better opening partnership than Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe and South Africa start off this Test cycle in what seems like a one sided series for the neutrals. This would be the first time South Africa heads out in a game as WTC champions. They were sensational with the ball and the bat in the finals against Australia as they won their first ICC trophy. South Africa heads into this series after eight consecutive wins and would be hoping to dominate in this series against Zimbabwe. On the other hand after three decades Zimbabwe travelled to England for a Test match. They conceded 565 runs and eventually lost the game by an innings and 45 runs. We believe Zimbabwe openers will struggle to negate the new ball and South Africa will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Brian Bennett has had a brilliant start in Test format this year. In the last game against England, Bennett was the standout batter as he scored 139 in the first innings which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

David Bedingham to be South Africa’ top batter

David Bedingham was sensational for South Africa in the last test cycle as he was one of the leading run scorers for his side. In the WTC finals he scored 45 in the first innings and was the leading run scorer which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

South Africa head into this game after an impressive run in the last WTC cycle. They have dominated this fixture in the past and are unbeaten against Zimbabwe which is probably why the bookmakers have sided with them in this game and you should do the same as South Africa will register a comfortable win in the upcoming game.
