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.
39 and 15.1 would be okay. A tie would just do us fine as well.
