NEW DELHI: Sikandar Raza won the toss and chose to bat as Zimbabwe national cricket team take on South Africa national cricket team in their final Super Eights match on Sunday.

For Zimbabwe, fast bowler Richard Ngarava misses out due to a lower back injury.

South Africa have made three changes to their playing XI, with Kwena Maphaka, Anrich Nortje and George Linde coming into the side.

Zimbabwe will be aiming for a major upset against South Africa and hope to sign off their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign on a high. The underdog side made it to the Super 8 stage after stunning Australia and co hosts Sri Lanka, proving they belong on the big stage.

Zimbabwe have shown real character throughout the tournament and underlined that they are capable of rising again in world cricket.

South Africa, unbeaten in the tournament so far, are using this match to test a few combinations ahead of the knockout stage.

They look like a perfectly balanced unit, with strength in both batting and bowling, and appear well equipped to challenge any team in this competition.

Teams:

Zimbabwe, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, Clive Madande, Brad Evans, Wellington Masakadza, Graeme Cremer, Blessing Muzarabani.

South Africa: Aiden Markram (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Ryan Rickelton, Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Anrich Nortje, Kwena Maphaka, Lungi Ngidi.
