Match Preview

As the ongoing Tri-series in Zimbabwe nears its culmination, New Zealand and South Africa face off in the finals this Saturday.

South Africa had an excellent record against New Zealand before the start of this tournament, but has lost both its matches against them in the group stage. They are missing some of their senior players, and the newcomers haven’t lived up to expectations.

New Zealand, too, is having its fair share of absentees, but the bench has thrown out enough replacements, and they have hardly broken a sweat during the journey to the finals. They will now hope to play with the same intensity in this match as well.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a balanced pitch for this match. The batsmen have had to work hard to earn their runs here, especially early on in the innings. Once they settle down, playing shots gets easier. The pitch has something in it for both the spinners and the seamers.

The weather will remain clear with temperatures of around 20 degrees.

NZ vs SA Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Tim Seifert is the leading run-scorer of the tournament and is the top pick. We are also selecting Devon Conway and Rubin Hermann as they have been pretty consistent.

Batters

Rachin Ravindra and Dewald Brevis are our choices in this category. They have done a good job with the bat, and Ravindra has also contributed with the ball.

All Rounders

Both teams have quite a few all-rounders playing for them. We are including Mitchell Santner, George Linde, Senuran Muthusamy, and Michael Bracewell in our team.

Bowlers

Since all our all-rounders are also slower bowlers, we have opted for Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy in this category.

NZ vs SA Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are selecting Tim Seifert as the captain of our team. He has scored a half-century in each of his last two innings and appears to be in good form.

Vice-Captain

We are going with George Linde as the vice-captain. He has been a decent all-rounder for South Africa and has picked up 3 wickets while also scoring 56 runs.

NZ vs SA Team Expert Advice

It is difficult to select a perfect team for this match as the pitch here has been unpredictable throughout the series. We have therefore selected a balanced side providing equal weightage to batsmen and bowlers. Our bowling unit is also well-balanced as we have selected a mix of spinners and seamers in the team.
