Brian Bennett to score Over 19.5

Brian has got decent numbers so far in the series, scoring 30+ in both the knocks he has played. The right-hander remains a prime bet at the top order for Zimbabwe.

Check out our prediction for the SA vs ZIM 4th T20I match at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek.

South Africa will look to build on their spotless record against Zimbabwe in T20Is

Match 4 of the ongoing series brings South Africa face‑to‑face with Zimbabwe once again, with the Proteas determined to extend their unbeaten run in this rivalry. Their dominance was on full display in the previous encounter on August 29, when they cruised to a seven‑wicket victory. Rising star Dewald Brevis stole the show with a whirlwind 75 off just 32 deliveries, dismantling Zimbabwe’s bowling attack and underlining South Africa’s batting firepower.

The historical numbers further highlight the gulf between the two sides. In 10 T20 internationals, South Africa have won nine, with the remaining fixture ending as a no result. Zimbabwe have yet to taste victory against the Proteas in this format, and the challenge of breaking that streak remains daunting.

For South Africa, the focus will be on maintaining consistency and ensuring their top order continues to fire. With Brevis in form, supported by the likes of Lhuan-dre Pretorius, the Hermann brothers, Tony de Zorzi, etc., the Proteas will look to reinforce their spotless record. A win here would not only strengthen their grip on the series but also reaffirm their status as a dominant force in T20 cricket against Zimbabwe.

Can Zimbabwe finally secure their first win over South Africa in T20Is?

Zimbabwe head into Match 4 of the series with the daunting task of trying to break their long‑standing winless streak against South Africa in T20 internationals. The two sides met earlier on August 29, where the Proteas cruised to a seven‑wicket victory, powered by Dewald Brevis’ explosive 75 off 32 balls. Historically, the numbers are stacked against Zimbabwe—South Africa have won nine of the ten encounters, with the other ending as a no result.

Yet, Zimbabwe will be determined to script history and finally notch their first win in this format against their southern rivals. Skipper Sikandar Raza remains the heartbeat of the side, capable of turning games with both bat and ball. Brian Bennett and Ben Curran will be crucial in stabilizing the batting order, while Brad Evans adds depth with his all‑round skills. In the bowling department, Blessing Muzarabani’s pace will be vital to counter South Africa’s aggressive top order.

For Zimbabwe, this clash is about belief and execution. If their key players fire collectively, they could challenge the Proteas and end their barren run, securing a landmark victory in T20I history. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
