After winning the three match ODI series, South Africa will now take on Zimbabwe in the three match T20I series.

The first of three games will be played at Buffalo Park in East London on Tuesday night. This is an ideal series for South Africa to test their bench strength and the return of Quinton de Kock, David Miller and Faf du Plessis, who were all rested from the ODI series, will boost the team further.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe who haven't won any limited overs game since this March, have one more good chance to redeem themselves in this series and hopefully they'll put up a good fight against this South African side.
