Zimbabwe is out of the Tri-Series final on their home soil. New Zealand and South Africa, the two visiting teams, will play each other for the title. But first, they will play each other in their 5th match.
The game is on Tuesday, July 22, at the Harare Sports Club. New Zealand has already beaten South Africa once and will try to do it again. Black Caps haven’t lost yet in the series. South Africa has played well but beating New Zealand will be tough. The match should be good between these two strong teams.

Pitch Report
Teams batting second have won three of the four games in this series. So that’s the pitch. It’s a bit slow but gets better as the match progresses. Fast bowlers might get initial help with the new ball and spinners may get some turn later.
