TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
Mitchell Santner and his side have performed brilliantly in the tournament. It was a dominating show from the side in the last game against Zimbabwe, where they won by 8 wickets. The batting lineup has done well, and so has the bowling attack. They will look to repeat their win against the South Africans earlier in this game.
Devon Conway has batted well at the top, and the team expects him to deliver a good start with Tim Seifert. Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, and Mark Chapman are good hitters in the middle order and aim to build partnerships. The side will also like to see big hits from Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner in the lower middle order.
The bowlers did a good job against the Indians in the last game. Matt Henry will be confident with his 3-wicket haul and must cause early damage with Jacob Duffy to put the opponents under pressure. Adam Milne and Santner must bowl crucial spells in the middle overs. Rachin Ravindra and Bracewell add variety to this attack, making it a strong one.
NZ Over/Under Betting Tips
Ravindra, who missed the South Africa match, made a strong comeback against Zimbabwe. He picked up right where he left off in the Major League Cricket, smashing a classy 30 runs off just 19 balls. He hit 4 fours and a six, scoring at a quick 158 strike rate. We're backing him to continue his good form and score over 18 runs against the Proteas in today's fixture.
Tim Seifert's been in good touch lately, hitting 25 runs in his last two T20I games. That included a quick 22 against South Africa earlier in the series. He had a rare off-day last match, only getting 3 runs against Zimbabwe. But despite that, he's a safe bet to score over 20 runs in this game, and we're backing him to do it.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Mitchell Santner (c), Tim Seifert (wk), Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Bevon Jacobs, Michael Bracewell, Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy

South Africa Preview
Rassie van der Dussen, and his men performed clinically in the last game against Zimbabwe. The team that had lost the previous game against New Zealand made the necessary corrections to win the last game by 7 wickets. They have a strong batting lineup and will look to leverage it and advance to the next round.
Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Reeza Hendricks have struggled with consistency, and the team expects them to deliver a good start. Rassie van der Dussen will be confident after his match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Rubin Hermann and Dewald Brevis. George Linde, Corbin Bosch, and Andile Simelane add firepower to the lower middle order.
Lungi Ngidi and Nandre Burger must strike early in this game, as the Kiwi top order is strong and can take the game away from the South Africans. Corbin Bosch and Nqabayomzi Peter will look to bowl tight spells in the middle overs to trouble the batters. The team expects a strong show in the supporting roles from George Linde and Andile Simelane.
SA Over/Under Betting Tips
South Africa were bowled out for 152 runs the last time they played against New Zealand earlier in the series. New Zealand so far have not conceded over 157 runs in the two matches they played in the tournament and have taken 17 wickets. Considering the form of the New Zealand bowlers, we predict South Africa's total score to be under 158 runs.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Rassie van der Dussen (c), Lhuan-dre Pretorius (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Rubin Hermann, Dewald Brevis, George Linde, Corbin Bosch, Andile Simelane, Nqabayomzi Peter, Nandre Burger, Lungi Ngidi

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There would be some clouds over Harare. The pitch is challenging, as we have seen in the last few games, with the ball stopping on the batsmen. The average first-inning score is just above 155 runs, and the team batting first would be happy to have 180 runs on board.

BalancedBatting Conditions
Moderate ScoringPace Bowling
Pace BounceSpin Bowling
Average Turn
The pitch at Harare Sports Club is slow and has uneven bounce, which creates problems for the batsmen. Batsmen have to play to the merit of the ball to do well on this track. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
We predict New Zealand to win the coin toss in the 5th match of the Zimbabwe T20I Tri Series against South Africa.
Toss: To Bowl
The side chasing the score has won three out of four games at this venue in this tournament. The track is dual-paced, and scoring runs on the board in the first innings is challenging. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first and take advantage of the conditions.
NZ vs RSA
Winning Prediction
New Zealand hasn't lost a game in the tournament, which will make them confident. However, the side doesn't have a great record against the South Africans. They need a good effort from their bowling attack to win. The South Africans have a strong batting lineup and a bowling attack suited for these conditions. We expect a nail-biting contest, but the South Africans have a slight edge.
