South Africa vs Zimbabwe: Road To Final
Led by Bjorn Fortuin, South Africa head into Sunday's final with the strongest record of the tournament, having collected three victories from four group matches. Their place in the decider was secured on Friday when they held off Namibia by 11 runs after posting 228 for 4 in a run-laden contest that yielded 445 runs in total.
Opener Lhuan-dre Pretorius delivered the headline performance, smashing his maiden T20I century with 101 off 53 balls, including eight sixes. Wicketkeeper-batter Connor Esterhuizen also made a major contribution, hitting 88 from just 40 deliveries.
Zimbabwe have reached the 2026 Namibia T20I Tri-Series final after claiming second place in the standings. The Chevrons secured their passage on Thursday with a five-wicket victory over Namibia, chasing down 157 as Innocent Kaia's composed 72 from 42 balls proved decisive.
South Africa enter the final with a clear advantage over their northern neighbours, having come out on top in both meetings during the group stage. In their first encounter, the Proteas made light work of a 145-run chase, reaching the target in only 13.4 overs for a seven-wicket win, with Dewald Brevis remaining unbeaten on 75.
Their second meeting followed a similar pattern, as South Africa posted 185 for 7 before Bjorn Fortuin's four-wicket haul, which cost just 24 runs, helped dismiss Zimbabwe for 142 and secure a 43-run victory.
