1st match was played and South Africa is a strong team than Zimbabwe team and wining the match. Zimbabwe looks weak team in this tournament and lost 1st game. South Africa won game by 5 Wickets and 25 balls. I hope Zimbabwe they will play better in the next match. South Africa have also made their fans very happy. The 1st match between South Africa and Zimbabwe was played at Harare Sports Club . South Africa won the toss and elected to fielding first. Zimbabwe set a record total runs for 141 and lost the match. South Africa chased a total runs for 142 and won the match. The best batting performance in the south Africa team was by Dewald Brevis scored 41 runs and 17 balls hitting 1 fours and 5 sixs. Congratulations to South Africa for their upcoming matches.

There are many differences between South Africa and Zimbabwe, so naturally South Africa will be ahead of Zimbabwe. In the Test series, we have seen that South Africa will dominate the T20 series alone, and something like that may happen. However, T20 is only a 120-ball game and we know that Zimbabwe has some good batsmen who can play a good innings at any time and take the team forward. Even if we do not see a significant good performance from Zimbabwe in the first T20 match, I expect Zimbabwe to perform well in the next matches. Zimbabwe will not be able to win against South Africa in the Test or ODI format, but they will have some chance in T20.

Zimbabwe has scored 140 plus runs on the scoreboard in the first T20 match, they will have to score at least 180 plus runs on the scoreboard in the next match, only then will they be able to put up some resistance against South Africa.

If we look at the performance of the South African team in the previous matches, they are really a good and hard-working team. South Africa play with hard work and struggle, due to which they play better in every series and win the game. But to have such expectations from them is careless and uncertain because Zimbabwe play better and win the match due to their will and ease of play. Having such expectations, in my opinion, is an indication of South Africa's better performance, so we need to see with what performance and struggle South Africa has played in the first match and won it. If we look at the performance of South Africa, they have taken an easy target and then achieved the same target in 15 overs and won.

This target was only 141, but if we look at their performance in the next matches, how much more target will they give, and how will they achieve victory? I do not expect them to give such a target and win by weakening South Africa.
