Match Preview: NZ vs SA – Final (July 26, 2025 – Harare Sports Club)
New Zealand enter the final unbeaten, having won all four group-stage matches, including two victories over South Africa. Tim Seifert and Matt Henry led from the front with bat and ball respectively, while Ish Sodhi impressed with 4/12 against Zimbabwe in the penultimate match.
