WI: Hannibal Pulls a Cannae at Zama?

In 202 BC, During the Second Punic War, the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio (soon to be awarded the agnomen Africanus) invaded the Carthaginian homeland, forcing Hannibal to halt his invasion of Italy, and withdraw to Carthage. In october of that year, they met at Zama, in modern Tunisia, with roughly equal forces of about 34,000 men.[1]
In OTL, Zama was a total Roman victory, with Hannibal's army effectively annihilated, and the Carthaginian Senate forced to surrender on terms massively favorable to Rome. Rome henceforth possessed an overwhelming preponderance of military force over every other polity in the Mediterranean, and Carthage's final destruction, which occurred 50 years later, was essentially inevitable from then on.
What if Hannibal, one of history's greatest tacticians, decisively defeated the Romans in a manner similar to his famous utter obliteration of the Roman army in 216 at Cannae, which nearly lost Rome the war?

It would have been much more difficult. Hanniball's Zama army represented the last throw of the Carthaginians and was of much lower caliber than the one he invaded Italy with. Also, Scipio Africanus was a far better commander than the Consuls at Cannae.

First of all, this is a WI, not a AHC; we're just dealing with the effects of an ATL victory, not the circumstances that would've produced it. Secondly, there are many ways to get Scipio out of the picture before zama without affecting the rest of the war. Thirdly, I've read that one of the main reasons Scipio triumphed at Zama was that he organized his troops into long columns, which minimized the damage from Hannibal's elephants. It was implied that he created that strategy practically on the spot, or at least was its originator. Perhaps he doesn't think of it in the pre-battle hustle and bustle, which could potentially lead to a cascade of butterflies resulting in Carthaginian victory.
 
By the time of Zama, Carthage has already effectively lost the war (being effectively driven out of Spain, and having to pull Hannibal's army out of Italy). They lack the effective means to reinvade, so even a victory isn't going to win them that much.
 
My Two Cents

Since Spain was lost and Carthage's navy was gutted, the best they can realistically hope for is a restoration of the pre-war status quo, perhaps with loss of influence and territory in Spain.
