Match Details
The fourth unofficial ODI between Zimbabwe A and South Africa A will take place at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Friday (June 4).
This encounter will get underway at 1 PM IST.
Preview
After losing the first two matches of the series, Zimbabwe A made an impressive bounce back in the do-or-die clash. After restricting the Proteas side for 226/9 in the third match, Zimbabwe A put up a substantial batting display and won the 22 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis method.
Now, it all boils down to the fourth and final unofficial ODI. Having a 2-1 lead, South Africa A would want to take the series home while Zimbabwe A will fight to square the scoreline.
The Proteas side would indeed be determined to overcome the upset in the previous game. Having scored over 300 in the first two matches, South Africa A slumped to a mediocre score in the last match. Hence, they would not want to replicate their batting failure while their bowlers also need to take wickets in middle overs.
Probable Playing XI
Zimbabwe A
Brian Chari, Chamu Chibhabha, Roy Kaia, Tadiwanashe Marumani (WK), Milton Shumba, Tapiwa Mufudza, Dion Myers, Victor Nyauchi, Luke Jongwe, Tendai Chatara (C), Ainsley Ndlovu
South Africa A
Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Zubayr Hamza (C), Theunis de Bruyn, Dwaine Pretorius, Lutho Sipamla, Tony de Zorzi, Glenton Stuurman, Sinethemba Qeshile (WK), Junior Dala, Wihan Lubbe
Captaincy Picks
Dion Myers
Although the youngster failed to make an impact in the previous clash, he scored half-centuries in the first two games. Myers tends to accumulate quick runs in the middle overs, and Zimbabwe A would count on him for the final match.
Lutho Sipamla
Spearheading South Africa A bowling attack in this series, Lutho Sipamla has indeed done an impressive job. The right-arm pacer has a happy knack for taking wickets, and his economy rate is also reasonable. In fact, he is the highest wicket-taker of this series, with six scalps in three outings.
