NZ vs SA Team Previews

New Zealand

New Zealand has made a bright start to this tri-series by winning the first game against Pakistan. This tri-nation series has been developed to provide preparation support to the participating teams for the ICC Champions Trophy, which will be played later this month.

However, no changes are expected from the NZ management to the side that defeated Pakistan in the first game by 78 runs. Glenn Phillips was the outstanding player in this contest, scoring a hundred. Matt Henry was the top bowler, supported by the skipper Mitchell Santner.

One of the crucial batters for New Zealand in this contest is Will Young. He has scored 460 runs in his last ten games with an average of 57.5 and a strike rate of 93.68. Mark Chapman has also done well, scoring 272 runs from his previous nine games with an average of 45.33 and a strike rate of 99.27.

Matt Henry has been the top bowler for New Zealand, scoring twelve wickets from four games with a strike rate of 17.41. Jacob Duffy has also picked up 11 victims from his seven games with a strike rate of 26.18.

New Zealand Expected Playing 11

South Africa

This is South Africa's first game of the tri-nation series. South Africa won the last match between these two teams by 190 runs in 2023. Due to injuries, South Africa will miss key players like Anrich Nortje and Gerald Coetzee.

This weakens the bowling attack, but substitutes such as Gideon Peters and Junior Dala will be able to prove themselves while bowling with Kagiso Rabada. Matthew Breetzke will lead the SA batting effort. The wicket-keeper batter Heinrich Klaasen might be used as a floater.

He may come into bat when deemed necessary. Heinrich Klaasen will lead the batting charge for South Africa in this contest. He has scored 285 runs in his last four games with an average of 71.25 and a strike rate of 120.76.

Temba Bavuma will aid him in this contest. The SA skipper has scored 119 runs from his last six games and will be looking to get some runs under his belt before the Champions Trophy. In this encounter, the crucial bowlers for South Africa are Wiaan Mulder and Keshav Maharaj.

NZ vs SA Toss Prediction

We saw the advantage of batting first at this venue in the first game of the series. New Zealand scored a big total and successfully defended it on Saturday. The skipper winning the coin flip might opt to bat first here and set big totals on the board.

Pitch and Conditions

The Gaddafi Stadium track is good for batting, especially early on. The pace and bounce offered here will benefit the batters and quicks. You can expect the team batting first to look to score over 300 runs on this track. We are expecting cool weather during the contest, and the temperature will be close to 15 degrees.

PAK vs NZ Betting Tips

The New Zealand team has made a good start to the tri-series, and they have fielded a full team here. They have indicated that they mean business. South Africans, on the other hand, are playing a less-than-full-strength team. New Zealand starts favorites with more batting power, depth, and most importantly, experience in the conditions.

Bet on New Zealand to win.
