Zimbabwe take on South Africa in the final Super Eights Group 1 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on March 1, 2026. South Africa has already booked their semi-final spot, sitting at the top of Group 1 with four points from two wins.

 Zimbabwe, on the other hand, was knocked out of the tournament after losing both its Super Eights games. They fell to the West Indies by 107 runs and then to India by 72 runs, and have nothing left to fight for except pride and personal performances.

Sikandar Raza’s men will want to sign off from this World Cup on a high note, but they face a South Africa side that has been in exceptional form and has beaten every team in front of them. This is a game where Aiden Markram’s side will look to keep their winning run going and carry that momentum into the knockouts. For Dream11 players, both sides have individual match-winners worth picking.

ZIM vs SA WC T20 Match Toss Prediction

The toss at the Arun Jaitley Stadium tends to matter quite a bit in day/night matches. This game starts in the afternoon and runs into the evening, which means dew will become a factor as the match progresses under the lights. Chasing teams at this ground have won three of the last five T20Is, mainly because evening dew makes the ball difficult to grip and easier to hit. Both sides may want to chase if they win the toss.

For South Africa, bowling first also suits their aggressive pace attack, as they can take the game deep with their batting. For Zimbabwe, setting a target might be the smarter option given the form gap between the two sides. A chasing South Africa side will likely be too strong at this venue. The toss winner will almost certainly look to bowl first and take advantage of the favorable second-innings conditions.
