Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 270 being a decent total at the venue.
Today’s ZIM-XI vs SA-A Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Heinrich Klaasen: Heinrich Klaasen has been in fine form in the 50-over format, impressing for the Titans on the domestic circuit. He scored a good fifty in the previous game against Zimbabwe as well. Given his form and ability to play pace and spin equally well, Klaasen is a must-have in your ZIM-XI vs SA-A Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Milton Shumba: Young Milton Shumba is one of the most talented batters in Zimbabwean cricket. Part of the Zimbabwe U-19 set-up not too long ago, Shumba is a decent player of pace. Although is likely to bat in the middle order once again, his knack for scoring valuable runs down the order should serve his side well.
All-rounder
Andile Phehlukwayo: Andile Phehlukwayo starred with the bat in the previous game, scoring quick-fire runs down the order. Although he didn't pick up a wicket in the first ODI, Phehlukwayo's variations kept the lid on the scoring briefly. With the conditions suiting him well, one can bank on him to put in another good performance in Harare.
Bowler
Donald Tiripano: Donald Tiripano is a capped Zimbabwean pacer who can trouble the batters by hitting hard lengths. Although he was a touch wayward with the ball in the first game, his experience and knowledge of the conditions make him a handy addition to your ZIM-XI vs SA-A Dream11 fantasy team.
