6 July 2025 ko Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo mein Zimbabwe aur South Africa ke beech 2nd Test ka pehla din khela jayega. Ye match South Africa tour of Zimbabwe 2025 ka hissa hai. South Africa ne pehla Test jeeta tha, aur ab wo series seal karna chahega, jabki Zimbabwe apne home ground par wapas ladna chahega.
Day 1 Prediction
Queens Sports Club ki pitch shuru mein pacers ke liye thodi help deti hai, khaskar subah ke session mein. Average first innings score yahan 310 hai, lekin din ke aage badhne par batting asaan ho jati hai. South Africa, jo World Test Championship champions hain, apne young aur talented squad ke saath favorite hai. Agar Zimbabwe toss jeetkar pehle bowling karta hai, to unke pacers jaise Blessing Muzarabani aur Tanaka Chivanga ko early wickets lene honge. Hum predict karte hain ki Day 1 ke end tak batting team 250-300 runs bana sakti hai, agar wo 4-5 wickets se zyada nahi khote. South Africa ke 60% chance hain day dominate karne ke, jabki Zimbabwe ke paas 40% chance hai.
