Zimbabwe close their defiant T20 World Cup Super 8 campaign against an unbeaten South Africa side already through to the semi-finals.
South Africa are heavy favourites at 1.06, with Zimbabwe 9.00.
Form and context
South Africa have won all six matches at this tournament, including a 76-run victory over India in the Super 8 stage. Their balance across phases has stood out: disciplined new-ball spells, controlled middle overs and acceleration late in innings. With qualification secured, this match offers an opportunity to fine-tune combinations before the knockout phase.
Zimbabwe progressed from the group stage but have fallen away in the Super 8. They remain competitive in patches yet have struggled to string together full performances against top-ranked attacks. Captain Sikandar Raza will look to finish strongly after a campaign that showed growth despite elimination.
Batting markets
The total fours line is set at 28.5 (Over 1.80), while total sixes sits at 14.5 (Over 1.80). Delhi has produced mixed scoring patterns this tournament, with some slower surfaces assisting spin before easing later in the innings.
Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram are joint favourites (3.90) in the top batter market, reflecting South Africa’s reliance on experienced top-order control. Ryan Rickelton (5.20) and Dewald Brevis (5.80) offer middle-order depth. For Zimbabwe, Brian Bennett (6.25) remains their most consistent run source.
South Africa are 1.35 for most fours and 1.22 for most sixes, underlining the gap in boundary production.

South Africa’s depth across pace and spin makes them favourites to dominate the middle overs.
Pitch and conditions
The Arun Jaitley Stadium has assisted spinners early in several matches, with totals often below par before improving under lights. Powerplay discipline is crucial, particularly on used surfaces.
