Hello Cricket Geeks!
Hope you all are doing great—and so are my fantasy predictions for you! 🎯🔥 In recent matches (especially the Tests), my teams have performed incredibly well (touch wood!). Many of my followers are already winning big using my teams—just apply a few tweaks and 💥 boom! You’re in the game!
Anyway, in this blog, we’re diving deep into the 2nd T20I of the ongoing Tri-Nation T20I Series between New Zealand, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Today’s match features South Africa vs New Zealand, and we’ll cover everything you need—from pitch report to probable playing XIs, fantasy team picks, key players, and much more to help you dominate the Dream11 Grand League! 🚀
🏟️ Pitch Report – Harare Sports Club, Harare
The match will be played at Harare Sports Club, the same venue as the opening game. This ground is known for offering a balanced contest between bat and ball. However, based on recent data and the last match (ZIM vs SA), here’s a breakdown:
- Average 1st innings score: 140 🧾
- Last match score: Zimbabwe managed just 140, and even South Africa had to grind a bit while chasing!
- Wickets in last 5 matches: 63 total
- Pacers: 34 wickets 💨
- Spinners: 29 wickets 🌀
While pacers seem to dominate, don’t overlook spinners like George Linde, who took 3 wickets in the last game. That said, prioritizing pace-bowling all-rounders is a smart fantasy move!
