Who Will Win Today’s Match? (AI Prediction)

Considering the current form, squad depth, and head-to-head dominance, New Zealand is the clear favourite heading into this match. Their well-balanced lineup and recent win over South Africa give them the upper hand.

However, playing at home, Zimbabwe could spring a surprise if key players like Sikandar Raza and Ryan Burl fire with both bat and ball.
