# Cricket: New Zealand is considered the favourite when they take on South Africa in today’s final of the T20 tri-series in Zimbabwe. The Black Caps are undefeated in the series, having beaten the Proteas as well as the hosts twice. South Africa sent an under-strength team because big names were rested before the white-ball tour of Australia, and struggled to get the combinations right. The stats are on the Proteas’ side, having beaten New Zealand 11 times out of their 17 previous T20 encounters.
