South Africa tour of Zimbabwe 2025 1st Test: Live streaming & where to watch

Bulawayo is the venue as South Africa and Zimbabwe lock horns in the red-ball format in an eagerly-awaited contest. Experienced Keshav Maharaj is leading a youthful South Africa outfit desperate to prove their worth in the longest format in the absence of regular skipper Temba Bavuma following an injury. Zimbabwe, meanwhile, finds hope in the calm heads of Sean Williams and Craig Ervine to steady the ship and set the seeds for the next generation. It’s fresh energy against time-hardened grit played out over five days when skill, patience, and heart are truly put to the test.
