On the other hand, Balckcaps began the tournament with a victory by a margin of 21 runs against South Africa. Tim Robinson was the star with 75 not out, while Bevon Jacobs added 44 runs.

Pitch Report
The pitch at Harare Sports Club is generally balanced but slightly favors the batters in T20 matches. In the early overs, the ball comes nicely onto the bat, allowing players to score freely. However, as the game progresses, the surface can slow down, making shot-making a bit more challenging.a
