Preview:
Mid West Rhinos will lock horns with Southern Rocks in the 3rd Place Play-off of the Zimbabwe Domestic T20. Mid West Rhinos started their campaign in a grand fashion with two back-to-back wins. However, they then lost their following 2 matches which made them finish in the 3rd spot in the standings with 20 points. They have beaten Southern Rocks earlier in the tournament which will be an added advantage for them.
Southern Rocks, on the other hand, have not played to their fullest potential in the tournament. They have managed to win only 1 of their 3 matches played and finished 4th in the standings with 10 points. It’s not going to be easy for them to beat the Mid-West Rhinos in this match.
