The South African cricket team toured Zimbabwe for three One Day Internationals in August 2007. The tour will see both teams in action for the first time since the 2007 Cricket World Cup, and will be played two weeks before the start of the 2007 Twenty20 World Championship to be held by the South Africans. South Africa's A team will also be touring, playing against a Zimbabwean Select XI on two occasions for First-class matches.
