New Zealand will take on South Africa in the final of the T20I Tri-Series on Saturday, July 26, at the Harare Sports Club. The Black Caps have been unbeaten in the tournament so far, winning all four of their matches, including two comfortable victories over the Proteas. South Africa, on the other hand, will be hoping to bounce back and end the series on a high by clinching the title.
Rob Walter, once criticised for his inconsistent tenure with South Africa, has orchestrated a resurgent New Zealand unit that’s looked polished. Four wins in four, including two dominant outings against South Africa, have seen his side cruise into the final. On the other side stands Shukri Conrad, celebrated after South Africa’s WTC triumph but still finding his feet in white-ball cricket.
