here is the calculation:
If ZIM win or Tie, we are in the finals by points alone
If SA wins, they will have better NRR than us regardless of the margin. So for us to topple ZIM:
Our RR is 4 x -.293 = -1.172
ZIM RR is 3 x .27 = .81
So ZIM needs to lose at -1.98 or 2 for us to topple them. 2 RR = 40 run loss.
If ZIM bat first and score 160 (8 per over) then SA will need to chase at +2 or 10 per over so in 16 overs.
