Zimbabwe face South Africa in their Super 8s concluder in Delhi
The Proteas are yet to lose a match in this T20 World Cup edition
Sikander Raza's Zimbabwe already eliminated
The second last Super 8s clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday (Mar 1) features an all-African showdown between two sides on with totally opposite fates.
While South Africa has emerged as the tournament's undisputed powerhouse, Zimbabwe will be playing for pride after being eliminated following consecutive losses to the West Indies and India.
South Africa enters this fixture as the team to beat. Their campaign was defined by a massive 76-run statement win over co-hosts India in Ahmedabad, followed by a clinical 9-wicket demolition of the West Indies on February 26.
In that encounter, the Proteas' bowling unit, led by Lungi Ngidi (3/30) and supported by Kagiso Rabada and Corbin Bosch, had the Windies reeling at 83/7.
Despite a late 87-run rescue act by Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd that pushed the total to 176, the chase was a formality.
Captain Aiden Markram steered the ship with a blistering 82 off 46 balls and his knock was complimented by solid 40s from Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton.
