But Zimbabwe coach Alan Butcher butcher has challenged his side to win at least one match against the Proteas.
Alan Butcher, Zimbabwe coach said: "It will be great to be able to beat South Africa in one or both of the games. We are aware that they haven't got their big guns here, but they are still a formidable side and we will have to play at our best to beat them."
Regular limited-overs captain AB de Villiers has been rested ahead of the tour of England in July. Hashim Amla will skipper the side.
